Although the resurrected PokerStars Caribbean Adventure 2018 just ended, plenty of eyes are already fixed on the 2019 PCA, as hype continues to build toward the Players No-Limit Hold'em Championship.

PokerStars has already begun setting up the field for the $9 million-added event by handing out some $30,000 Platinum Passes that cover the $25,000 tournament buy-in as well as flights and accommodation.

Players looking to lock up their own tickets can do so through Stars Rewards, but they'll have to get lucky.

According to Poker Industry Pro, PokerStars will be giving away 10 Platinum Passes through Stars Rewards freerolls ($), one each over the next 10 months.

Each day leading up to the freeroll, PokerStars will give away two freeroll tickets via the Stars Rewards chests. Players have about a one in 130,000 chance of binking a ticket. The 60-odd players who score the tickets will compete in the freeroll for a Platinum Pass. The first freeroll is scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 4, and they'll run each month through November.
