A Friday after-work session with poker and a bit of madness sound just about right at this moment in time if you ask me. Obviously we can't meet up, so this is an attempt from All-in Global to make the most of it - online.

Here's the drill:

1: Fill in this form.

2: Prepare a costume (optional). There will be a video group chat for each table of the tournament. Our suggestion is to dress like your favourite poker avatar but anything goes.

3: Create an account on PokerStars if you don't have already and make sure you have 20K play money available for the "buy-in" of the tournament (you get 25K when you open an account and can request more play money for free but it takes 4 hours to receive them).

4: Open the PokerStars main lobby (while logged in) then click on More (bottom right) -> Home Games.

5: Click the 'Join a Poker Club' button.

6: Enter our Club ID number: 3290938

7: Enter our Invitation Code: aroundtheworld

8: Wait for your membership to be approved (speed it up by PM'ing us). This is a tournament exclusively for iGaming professionals.

9: Once approved open the club lobby, double click on the only tournament there and register.

10: Check the chat on your table for instructions on how to join the video group on Google Hangouts.


All-in Global will donate $5 for every player registered up to 200 players. The donations will be distributed just like the prize pool in a poker tournament, to the top 15% finishers where their finishing position decides the proportion, but instead of cash to the winners, our donation will be delivered to the COVID-19 cause of their choice.

If more than 200 players register, All-in Global will also donate a ticket for PokerStars' Sunday Million worth $109 to the tournament winner.

We also promise a decent prize for the best-dressed player. The specifics can be negotiated when we know who wins!
