As the Formula One season comes to a close this weekend, PokerStars is upping the ante with a $220,000 jackpot up for grabs for one lucky online poker player in the Pit Stop Cash Drop promotion.
Stars, an Oracle Red Bull Racing team partner, has run racing-themed promotions since the French Grand Prix in July. Recent events have led to the super-sized prize drop.
“With the huge excitement of the F1 season and the stellar performance from the Oracle Red Bull Racing team, it’s only fitting to celebrate in style and award this massive prize to our deserving community,” PokerStars director of partnerships, public relations, and consumer engagement Rebecca McAdam Willetts said in a news release.
“Offering epic rewards to the community is at the heart of our partnership with Oracle Red Bull Racing, and we are truly excited to see who lands the PokerStars Pit Stop Cash Drop jackpot.”

How to win the PokerStars Pit Stop Cash Drop
Every Tuesday after each F1 race, PokerStars randomly dropped a jackpot prize into one PokerStars player’s account. The player had just 15 minutes to claim the cash.
With no player claiming the jackpot so far this season, the jackpot increased every race and now stands at $220,000 if the Oracle Red Bull Racing team makes the podium. If the team comes up short of the podium, $210,000 will be on the line to one lucky player.
The final Pit Stop Cash Drop is set for Nov. 22 after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. For this cash drop, instead of the 15-minute time limit, PokerStars is raising that to 48 hours.
This gives players a longer window of time to claim the prize. To earn a chance to win, players must opt in to the promotion.
If the jackpot chest remains unclaimed after Nov. 24, Stars will select another player until the phenomenal prize is finally claimed. Now doubt, plenty of players will be eagerly checking their accounts.
A big winner on tap
Clues to the mystery winner will be shared across PokerStars Casino social media channels. Stars will invite players to guess along with a series of #WhoWunnit clues hinting at the winner’s identity.
Across the F1 season, Stars has awarded players with a host of special race weekend rewards. With the Red Bull partnership, the site has aimed to bring F1-fueled entertainment to players and fans through:
- unique experiences
- promotions
- competitions
- exclusive content
The efforts are part of a multi-year agreement with Red Bull Oracle Racing.
