Get ready for an adrenaline-fueled fusion of poker and racing as PokerStars and Oracle Red Bull Racing join forces to deliver an unforgettable experience for fans and players in Michigan and New Jersey.
This groundbreaking global partnership combines two sports into one promotion, promising an epic journey packed with thrilling promotions and new exciting rewards.
The highlight of this collaboration is the highly-coveted PokerStars Red Spade Pass, which is making its debut in the United States later this year.
