Dec 11, 2018, 2:47 PM
The first MILLIONS seats will be won this weekend! Have you made your schedule?

MILLIONS, set to take place in May 2019, is an unbelievable milestone, and what better way to celebrate eight years of existence than to boost all of our MILLIONS Step Satellites with unbelievable guarantees across the Anniversary weekend! On the Anniversary schedule, you will find 7 events, including the Playground 200. The strong multi-day event comes back with 4 live starting flights instead of its usual 3.

Welcome to the new playground.ca
Dec 7, 2018, 4:53 PM
By now, everyone who has visited the Playground Complex has noticed the huge changes that are underway. Those changes extend online as well – today, we launched a new and improved Playground website. The biggest changes in the new site are under the hood – but there are a few things players will notice as well. The most significant changes are the expanded menus, available from the top corners of the site. On the left there’s a new site menu, with an enhanced look and direct access to all parts of the website. On the right is the My Playground menu, which is all about you. Here you’ll be able to sign in to your account, register for a Player’s Card (if you don’t already have one), see your list of Shopping Cart items, and access a language switcher you can use to select the language you want to use […]
The TLB: a new path to MILLIONS!
Dec 7, 2018, 2:09 PM
-THIS STORY WAS EDITED WITH ADDED PRIZES! TOP 40 GET PAID! The Tournament Leaderboard, or TLB, has been around since the beginning. The core principle has always been the same: players finishing in the top 40% of every regular tournament held at Playground earn TLB points, and the best accumulators of every month are rewarded. Starting in December, and until further notice, our frequent achievers no longer compete for a spot in a freeroll, but for INSTANT PRIZES! The MILLIONS North America is approaching, and we want everybody to reap the amazing value offered by our massively guaranteed Step Satellites! Have a look at the MILLIONS satellite tree: STEP 1 $80 + $10 Turbo Re-entry STEP 2 $400 + $40 Turbo Re-entry STEP 3 $1,500 + $150 Re-entry Now, here is what our TLB top 40 will win: Top 3 TLB point earners: One(1) MILLIONS North America Main Event Satellite […]
MILLIONS Online comes to a close!
Dec 7, 2018, 11:23 AM
The MILLIONS Online has come to a close, and after smashing the $20,000,000 guarantee on Tuesday, play resumed on Wednesday with just 29 players left competing for the biggest prizes. When the dust settled, there was a chop between the first and second place players, with Manual “Sherparentao” Ruivo in 1st for $2,329,944 and Pim “ForMatherRussia” de Goede in 2nd for $2,309,995. One of the biggest stories of MILLIONS Online was the player who finished in 3rd place for $1,364,688, Slovenia’s “Scarmak3r”. He started his journey by winning a $5.50 satellite, and then played his way through the rest of the satellite tree to a Main Event ticket – and then rode that all the way to a huge 7-figure score! Playground’s heartiest congratulations are reserved for frequent Playground tournament player William Blais, who came in 6th place for $655,050! William has been playing here as long as anyone […]
MILLIONS Online cruises past the $20M Guarantee!
Dec 4, 2018, 2:26 PM
MILLIONS Online is the Online version of the MILLIONS poker series presented by partypoker LIVE, and when they announced that the guarantee of the event was going up from $5M (2017) to $20M (2018), people all around the poker world were skeptical, to say the least. Now, with late registration closed in Day 1E, it is clear that partypoker has managed to beat the guarantee by a healthy margin. The final prize pool in the event is more than $21.5M, which sets the new record for largest poker tournament by prize pool in history! Day 2 in the event gets underway at 2:00pm. Through the first 4 starting flights there were 568 players qualified, and Day 1E is set to add another 110+ players to the mix. Day 2 will play through 18 levels with blinds starting at 80K/160K and an ante of 20K. The chip average to start the […]
