With the frenzy of the World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) having come to an end, PokerStars has its sights set on the upcoming North American Poker Tour (NAPT) Las Vegas stop. To that end, the operator has teamed up with NFL legend and FanDuel ambassador Rob 'Gronk' Gronkowski to hold an exclusive competition with an NAPT Gold Pass up for grabs. 

The competition runs from October 4-6 and the requirements to enter are twofold. First, you have to respond to his post (below) with the name of any current NFL player who you think will score a touchdown this Sunday, October 6. Second, you have to follow FanDuel Casino on X/Twitter to have a shot at winning the Gold Pass. All entrants who hazard a guess and follow both accounts will be in contention for the giveaway prize. 

One winner will be chosen the following week, at random, to receive the Gold Pass. 

$10K NAPT package could be yours

The NAPT Gold Pass is valued at $10,000 and the package consists of entry to the $5,300 NAPT Las Vegas Main Event taking place from November 5-10, along with $1,800 in travel expenses and $2,900 for hotel accommodation (for the winner and one companion). 

Commenting on the NAPT giveaway, Gronkowski said: “This experience is going to be one for the books! I’m excited to be able to give this opportunity to my followers and who knows, maybe the winner will win the Loose Cannon and be at my table for Big Game on Tour!”

Gronk will be joined at the table by Nick Wright. Gronk will feature on Season 2 of PokerStars' The Big Game on Tour and will be joined at the table by Nick Wright.

Recently, PokerStars announced Gronkowski's participation in the upcoming Season 2 of The Big Game on Tour. Alongside Nick Wright, Gronkowski will headline the show's follow-up to the revival of one of PokerStars' most-beloved television shows. While the NAPT Las Vegas tour stop offers up a slate of thrilling tournaments, PokerStars will simultaneously hold auditions for the Loose Cannon role - traditionally given to a lucky amateur player given a buy-in to play with the big names - on Season 2 of The Big Game on Tour
