Poker Under the Mistletoe: The Best Holiday Deals from Your Favorite Poker Sites

RedStar Poker: Advent Calendar (December 1–25, 2024)

During this holiday season, RedStar Poker has decided to stick with the classics with its Advent Calendar. From December 1st through Christmas Day, players can complete daily missions to earn scratch cards with random prizes. Opting in is fairly simple — just hit the button in the poker client, complete the mission of the day, and see what your scratch card reveals. But don’t expect a walk in the park; the missions range from hitting specific hands at cash games to participating in high-stakes tournaments.

How It Works

Players must complete each mission at No-Limit Texas Hold’em cash tables with blinds of €0.05/€0.10 or higher. Heads-up and Pot Limit Omaha tables don’t count, so stick to the qualifying games. After completing a mission, you’ll earn one scratch card for the day, with prizes ranging from €0.50 to €50 tournament tickets.
