PokerStars made a few announcements this week.
Calling The Clock: PokerStars, Penises and Porky PlayersWe will start with the announcement of the first of four planned $1m freerolls of 2016. The event will be held Saturday, March 19 at 13:04 (GMT), there will be a 100,000 player cap, between 30,000 & 50,000 players will get paid, and the winner is guaranteed $20,000.
The second announcement concerned their much-vaunted return to US poker and the market in New Jersey. The Red Spade will be introduced via a soft-launch next Wednesday where 500 players will get the opportunity to play. The official launch is March 21. PokerStars will also offer online casino games and Swedish online casino tech provider NetEnt has inked a deal to increase that portfolio.
New Jersey poker players have the option of using their old account or opening a new one. If they choose to reopen their old account, any Frequent Player Points (FPP) that remain will be transferred into StarsCoins at a rate of 1.6.
Former players will also be rewarded by receiving a VIP status based on where they left off when their previous account was closed down. So, if you were Supernova before the sky fell in then you will become Supernova when you start playing on March 21.
Two other differences separate the New Jersey PokerStars experience from the rest of the world. It will be easier for New Jersey players to reach the required VIP statuses to achieve bonuses. This change has been made because of the reduced liquidity in New Jersey. The other change is a ruling that removes the ability of New Jersey players to make peer-to-peer financial transactions.
Let the game begin!

$1m freeroll is not too bad. $1M without spending anything but time.
