Starting January 2, PokerStarsis holding the January Daily Challenge, shelling out over $500,000 in cash and over 10,000 gifts until the final day of the month. In order to participate, you’ll need to opt in using the word “CHALLENGE”. If you’re on your regular PC, just click on “Account” and type in the star code “CHALLENGE” to opt in.

Each day during January, you’ll be faced with a different challenge. For example, Friday’s challenge is to play a real money sit and go. If you complete it, you’ll get a ticket to a Daily Challenge All-In Shootout that awards $1,000 to the winner and has a prize pool of $15,000. It’s an all-in-only tournament, so you don’t have to play if you don’t want to.

If you complete at least 10 challenges during January, you’ll get a ticket for the Final Challenge All-In Shootout on February 4. This tournament has a prize pool of $100,000 plus a variety of gifts from the VIP Store.
