QUALIFY ONLINE

PokerStars is giving everyone a chance to win a seat at the APPT. You can even qualify for free using your PokerStars Frequent Player Points.

And don’t miss our APPT Steps satellites for a great way to qualify. It’s simple: enter in at any level to take on 8 players in a single table tournament. If you finish in the top two, you’ll move up to the next step.

Make it to Step 6 and you’ll have the chance to battle it out for an APPT package that includes your buy-in, luxury accommodation.

Don’t worry if you finish outside the top two. You’ll take a step down but you’ll have another chance to fight your way back up the ladder. For more details, see the APPT Steps pages.
