If you’re located in France, Spain, or Portugal, PokerStars has introduced a brand new series especially for you. The first ever Southern Europe Championship of Online Poker (SECOOP) will run from October 28 through November 12 and features over €10 million in guarantees.

Also, players can compete for one of three $30,000 Platinum Passes during the series, as Daily Leader Board winners and those who complete the SECOOP Challenge can earn their way into a freeroll to play for a Platinum Pass that includes an entry into the PokerStars Players NL Hold’em Championship in January.
For those looking to stretch their SECOOP bankroll a bit further, PokerStars is offering multiple ways to win your way into events. By depositing €50 or more using the code SECOOP, you’ll be eligible to play in a freeroll awarding 200 entries into the Main Event.
