PokerStars on FanDuel Unveils September Dynasty Series in U.S. And Ontario
The festival runs Sept. 12-28, with 100 U.S. events, a $350,000 Main Event guarantee and the first Ontario tournament series on the platform.
PokerStars on FanDuel has unveiled its September Dynasty Series, a new online festival that runs Sept. 12-28 across the operator’s U.S. and Ontario platforms. The U.S. side has 100 scheduled events and at least $3.5 million in guarantees, while Ontario gets 61 events and, for now, no series-wide guarantee that has been announced.
As reported in August, FanDuel had already confirmed that a September tournament series was coming, but the name and schedule were still hidden. Pokerfuse reported that the new festival is branded the September Dynasty Series, and it follows the April Ignite Series, which packed 90 tournaments into three weeks and carried $5 million in guarantees. That earlier series also produced heavy overlays, with Poker Industry PRO calculating a $1,063,762 shortfall.
For U.S. players, buy-ins run from $10 to $1,500. The schedule mixes no-limit hold’em, pot-limit Omaha and PLO5, and a leaderboard will run throughout the series for players who stack up consistent results. At the top end, the $1,500 High Roller is set for Sept. 27, while the $300 Main Event runs Sept. 27-28 with a $350,000 guarantee. The U.S. slate also includes a $50 Mini Main Event with a $75,000 guarantee.
Ontario’s version is the first tournament series on PokerStars on FanDuel in that market. Its 61-event schedule is NLHE-only, with regular, PKO and mystery bounty events, and buy-ins from C$30 to C$1,500. The Ontario Main Event and Mini Main close out the festival, but the guarantees were still to be announced when the schedule was published.
Ahead of the Dynasty launch, Ontario players also have the free-to-play Summer Sendoff Freeroll Festival running Sept. 4-13, with daily tournaments and guarantees from $250 to $5,000.
