MILLIONS Online is a $5,300 buy-in tournament that comes with a $20 million guaranteed prize pool.

This tournament was won by Tyson ‘POTTERPOKER’ Marks who banked an amount of $2,278,097.
Partypoker has guaranteed that the eventual MILLIONS Online champion will be awarded a prize of $2.5 million and that players who finish in second to fourth place will also become millionaires overnight. Partypoker has also guaranteed that in the event of the MILLIONS Online Champion having won their $5,300 seat via one of the MILLIONS Online satellites between 10th September and 7th October 2018, they will receive a $500,000 MILLIONS Passport in addition to their $2.5 million win.
Known as ‘the Ultimate Poker Prize’, the $500,000 MILLIONS Passport enables the winner to have the opportunity to travel the world playing partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Main Events, High Rollers and Super High Rollers for a year. Business class travel for two, luxury hotel accommodation and an amount of $5,000 spending money per event will also be awarded to the passport winner.
The prize package gives its winner an opportunity to live the high life and become a professional poker player for a year with the $500,000 MILLION Passports expiring on 31st December 2019.
In the event of the $500,000 MILLIONS Passport not being won, there is a secondary MILLIONS Passport worth $25,000 up for grabs. Anyone who wins their MILLIONS Online seat between 10th September and 7th October 2018 who then lasts the longest in the MILLIONS Online event will be awarded $25,000 worth of buy-ins to MILLIONS events during next year.
