PokerStars’ Spin & Go jackpot sit & go tournaments are super-exciting thanks, in part, to the fact you can win up to $1 million in a matter of minutes. They are now even more action-packed and potentially more lucrative because PokerStars has created the Spin & Go Races promotion, which runs through to November 20.
The Spin & Go Races run from Monday through to Sunday before resetting and starting over again. The aim is to play up to 22 Spin & Go tournaments with the same buy-in before you run out of fuel and your run ends. Winning a Spin & Go results in no fuel being used. However, finish in second or third place and you lose 8% of your fuel.
You cannot gain fuel, and an attempt is deemed complete when you either run out of fuel or manage to complete 22 Spin & Go tournaments with the same buy-in.
A new attempt starts as soon as the previous one ends, and you have up to three attempts on each of the eight leaderboards in a given week.
| Position | Fuel Level |
|---|---|
| 1st | No Change |
| 2nd | -8% |
| 3rd | -8% |

How Do You Earn Spin & Go Races Leaderboard Points?
Spin & Go Races Leaderboard points are awarded based on your finishing position in Spin & Go tournaments and the prize pool multiplier. For example, win a Spin & Go with a 2x multiplier, and you receive 25 points. Finish second in one with a 5x or higher multiplier and four points are all yours.
Make sure you opt-in via the Spin & Go Leaderboard lobby or at a Spin & Go table otherwise, you will not earn any previous points.
| Multiplier Value | 1st Place Points | 2nd Place Points | 4rd Place Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2x | 25 | 18 | 15 |
| 3x | 12 | 10 | 8 |
| 5x+ | 6 | 4 | 2 |
Spin & Go Races Prizes
Up to 500 places are paid each week, with prizes ranging from a couple of $1 Spin & Go tickets right up to $3,000 in cold, hard cash. Please note: any tickets awarded via this promotion expire seven days after the date of issue, so make sure you use them as soon as you get the chance.
