The partnership between Oracle Red Bull racing and PokerStars was like any other until the duo introduced a new product to the market; the Red Spade Pass. Those who will win this will be awarded a package that no one else in the industry has thought of giving. One of the most spectacular items that this package will contain is exclusive access tickets to the Formula 1 experience.
The reason for awarding poker players with a Formula 1 experience is so that they can be in sync with the ongoing Formula 1 season. At the start of April, PokerStars will be rewarding the first two winners of the Red Spade Pass by way of playing a special edition freeroll. The first pass will be awarded to players who manage to access PokerStars.com while the second is meant for France PokerStars players.
Even though the requirement to access a freeroll sounds like an easy achievement, it will only be for players who will pay attention to PokerStars activity on social media. Given that the freerolls will be password-protected, the only way to get access will be to keep up with what the betting operator posts on the company’s Twitter account. The announcement that had been made in this regard indicates that the password will have been revealed by the end of March.
France customers of the PokerStars brand who will show some activity from an EPT Monte Carlo will be automatically awarded with a Red Spade Pass freeroll ticket. The same privilege will be accorded to players who will participate in the France Poker Series (FPS) Monte Carlo qualifier.
