The 2025 Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) starts this Sunday (May 6th 2025) at PokerStars. There are a total of 40 events on the schedule for the 2025 PokerStars SCOOP and each event will be played at three buy-in levels. PokerStars is going to run low, medium and high buy-in tournaments for each of the events. The low, medium and high tournaments will start at the same time, but if you want you're allowed to multi-table and play in them all if you have a big enough bankroll.

Every player that wins one of the 2025 SCOOP tournaments will not only win the huge 1st place cash prizes, but they'll also win an exclusive Movado watch from PokerStars. It doesn't matter what buy-in levels you play, as every winner will win a watch. There are also other prizes up for grabs by finishing at the top of the 2025 SCOOP leaderboards throughout the 40 events. SCOOP will run from May 6th 2025 – May 20th 2025.
There are going to be four leaderboards tracked during the 2025 SCOOP at PokerStars. PokerStars is host a leaderboard for the low buy-in tournaments, medium buy-in tournaments, high buy-in tournaments and overall leaderboard. The overall leaderboard winner is going to win an exclusive 2025 SCOOP trophy and 2025 EPT Grand Final prize package. Players on the high buy-in and medium buy-in leaderboards will also have the chance to win a PCA prize package or WCOOP prize package.
The low buy-in leaderboard will have the most prizes up for grabs. The winner of the low buy-in leaderboard will win a trophy and a 2025 PCA prize package. Players that finish in 2nd – 20th on the leaderboard will win entry into all of the MicroMillions II events. Players that finish in 21st – 250th will win a Main Event ticket to MicroMillions II at PokerStars. Winning cash prizes in the tournaments during the SCOOP is great, but there are also huge prizes up for grabs by finishing near the top of the leaderboards.
PokerStars is also running lots of great satellite tournaments to most of the SCOOP tournaments. If you win a satellite you can either play in the tournament or sell your ticket for T$ (Tournament Dollars). There isn't a bonus available, but the best poker bonus for the SCOOP is the many satellites. There is going to be a minimum of $30M in prize money on the line during SCOOP and I'm sure the minimum guaranteed amount is going to be shattered.
