This spring will mark the return of one of the most-anticipated poker events in North America. This is PokerStars’ Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) that will return at the start of April, offering millions in guaranteed prize pools for a number of markets. The event, encompassing markets in North America, including Canada and the United States will kick off on April 5 and run through April 22, 2024.

Markets that will be included in the Championship are Ontario, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Michigan. Undoubtedly, SCOOP is one of the much-anticipated events for poker pros and aficionados alike, considering that it will offer 18 days of memorable experiences.

Considering the high interest in the events, PokerStars confirmed that it increased the guaranteed prize pools for both Ontario and Pennsylvania.
