Satellites for the Millions Online main event start today, but the official series starts on September 1st. Two PKO tournaments kick off, one for $162 and the other for $1575.
From there, players can qualify for or buy into MTTs spanning a variety of disciplines and prices from $109 to $3,200.
Partypoker Millions Online with NFTs
Partypoker is jumping on the NFT craze for its latest series by giving players the chance to win one of 52 special editions. The party monkeys each come with their own playing card and will be awarded to the 48 winners of the event as a NFT. Three additional monkey NFTs will be given away via social media contests.
The final Party Ape NFT will go to the winner of a Millions Online championship tournament that will see the 48 tournament winners compete to become the champion of champions and to receive another NFT, and a $5,000 Millions package.

Millions Online has been a success since its launch in 2018. The first Millions Online was a single event that offered a prize pool of $20 million. Despite a slow start, it went on to surpass its record-breaking guarantee to become the largest online tournament in history at the time.
The $20 million guarantee was returned in 2019, and once again, a late flurry of buy-ins helped push the prize pool to $21 million. A break in 2020 was followed by a new structure in 2021. Another 27 tournaments were added along with a $5 million guaranteed Main Event.
Reduced warranty, increased variety
The main event guarantee has been reduced again this year, but the number of tournaments has increased. Giving away NFTs should also help generate some interest in the series, despite the crypto market being in a slump.
Crypto and NFT fever peaked in late 2021 and markets have been bearish for much of 2022. Despite that, NFT technology remains a prospect for the future.
Are NFTs as attractive as they were a few months ago? No, but their time may come again. In fact, with NFTs from the Bored Apes collection still worth millions, the market is far from dead.
Poker operators, including the WSOP, have embraced NFTs and now Partypoker has made them a selling point. This means that winners of Millions Online MTTs will not only deposit money, but also receive an asset that can increase in value over the coming years.
