As the summer draws near a close, the virtual tables on PokerStars will play host to one of the site's most popular tournament series: MicroMillions.
From August 16 to 31, the MicroMillions schedule will provide 139 events and more than $2M in guaranteed prize pools. With affordable buy-ins designed to attract players of all skill levels, the series offers plenty of chances to build a bankroll and compete for a prestigious MicroMillions title. Tournament buy-ins range from as low as $1.10 and up to $22, with plenty of variety across formats.
And with the World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) looming on the horizon, it's the perfect time to start honing your strategy – check out the schedule highlights below.

In 2025, the MicroMillions Main Event drew a field of 20,600 entrants. Brazil's 'pretinhouva' triumphed over the field, turning a $22 buy-in into $25,911.
Plus, with low-cost satellites available, you can earn your way into events for a fraction of the already-inexpensive price.
“If you've got your sights set on WCOOP this September, MicroMillions is the ideal place to start,” said PokerStars Ambassador Benjamin 'Spraggy' Spragg. “With low buy-ins, plenty of satellites and a packed schedule with different formats, you can gain experience, try something new and chase a title without needing a huge bankroll.”
