In April, the merger between PokerStars and FanDuel took effect and the newly-formed platform launched a number of key changes – including the introduction of its Dynasty Builder rewards program.
The Dynasty Builder program at PokerStars on FanDuel provides value to both professional grinders and recreational players alike. With a mix of easily-earned rewards and more challenging prizes, the Dynasty Builder program allows for players of all types to benefit from the rake they generate on the site.
There are two types of missions that are central to the Dynasty Builder program: Thrill Missions (designed with the casual player in mind) and Grind Missions (tailored to the more dedicated players).
By completing these Missions while at the tables, you can earn benefits tailored to your poker play – including cash, tournament tickets, and unique items like badges and avatars.
Grind Missions
For the more committed players on the site – those who log in daily to grind it out at the tables – Dynasty Builder Grind Missions provide weekly milestones for players to reach.
In doing so, players can generate up to $1,000 in value based on the amount of rake generated across each week at the tables.
The rakeback percentages range from a base level of 10% all the way up to 25% for those players who manage to hit each of the 16 milestones in a week.
In order to start earning rewards from Grind Missions, you must first generate at least $50 in rake.
Below, you can find a complete breakdown of the Grind Missions aspect of the Dynasty Builder rewards program.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $50 | $5 | $5 | 10% |

Thrill Missions
For players who aren't logging in on a daily basis and prefer a more casual approach to their poker experience, PokerStars on FanDuel has also rolled out Thrill Missions as part of its Dynasty Builder rewards program.
As opposed to Grind Missions, these are recurring tasks that are straightforward and simple to complete – for example, playing a certain number of cash game hands.
When you complete a Thrill Mission, you'll earn tournament tickets, satellite opportunities, and exclusive throwables and avatars.
And for the serious grinders on the site, it's an added bonus to pick up as you work your way through the Grind Mission milestones.
More to come
PokerStars on FanDuel has also teased out a third aspect of the Dynasty Builder rewards program: Legend Missions.
While exact details have yet to be announced, Legend Missions will be long-term goals aimed at rewarding players who consistently put in high volume on the site.
