Any PS Open 2025 and PokerStars EPT 2025 Events still to be announced will be included in the above list of Events when they are announced and details will be added to the PokerStars Live page here: https://www.pokerstarslive.com/.
6. The PokerStars Live and PokerStars Live System Terms & Conditions located at https://www.pokerstarslive.com/tos/ apply to all players’ participation in the Events. Players will also be required to obtain a casino card to enter into the Event locations.
7. Players must be at least 18 years of age or over the legal age of majority in their resident jurisdiction (whichever is greater) to participate in the PokerStars Live League 2025 Rankings. Participating players may be asked at any time to provide PokerStars or a third party on behalf of PokerStars with proof of age and/or government issued identity document (passport or valid picture ID). If a participating player is unable to produce such proof of age on request, they will be disqualified from the PokerStars Live League 2025 Rankings.
8. PokerStars Live League 2025 Rankings points (“Points”) will be awarded to players participating in Events based upon the PokerStars Live League 2025 calculator in the PokerStars Live app, which can be downloaded here for Apple users: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pokerstars-live/id549121555,  and here for Android users: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.europeanpokertour.www&hl=en&gl=GB. Players participating in restricted tournaments (such as women-only and/or seniors-only tournaments) will also be eligible to be awarded Points. The formula to award Points in the PokerStars Live League 2025 calculator in the PokerStars Live app is in partnership and based on the GPI points system. Points will be awarded based on a player’s finishing position at the conclusion of a tournament.
9. Players that finish in the money will earn Points based on their finishing position. For players who don’t finish in the money, Points are awarded at the rate of 20% the value of the min-cash points (the lowest points awarded to a player that receives a cash payout). For example, in a tournament with 1,000 entries, a $1,100 buy-in, and with 15% of the field paid (meaning the top 150 players will receive a cash payout), the player who finishes in 150^th place (the first player to receive a min cash) will receive 76.09 GPI ranking points. All other players who finished outside of the paying places, i.e. 1,000^th to 151^st, they will receive 20% of that amount, which in this example would be 15.2 GPI ranking points.
10. To win a prize from the PokerStars Live League 2025 Rankings, players must accumulate the highest number of Points with prizes being awarded to the 3 players with the highest number of Points in each of the 3 tiers at the end of the League after the PS Open 2025 and the PokerStars EPT 2025 tours, as well as the Irish Open 2025, have concluded. The League is split into 3 tiers according to the buy-in amount, as detailed below:

Further information about buy-in options can be found here: https://www.pokerstarslive.com/ept/buy-in/. Players can win Points by participating in any of the individual tournaments, and they can also participate in each of the 3 tiers. There will be 9 prizes awarded in total, and prizes for the top 3 players at the end of the League will be as follows:

The values of the prizes listed above are:

1. EPT Main Event: €5,300
2. EPT High Roller: €10,300
3. PS Open: €1,100
4. PS Open Cup: €400

11. Additional Prize: At the end of the League, after the PS Open 2025 and the PokerStars EPT 2025 tours, and the Irish Open 2025, have concluded, the top 10 finishers of all tiers will be presented with the opportunity to take part in a casting process (as further described in paragraph 12 below) where 1 winner will be awarded a PokerStars Team Pro ambassador contract for 1 year (the “Additional Prize”). PokerStars will determine the winner of this Additional Prize at its sole discretion and its decision will be final. This Additional Prize will be subject to additional terms and conditions and the entering into of a separate contract with PokerStars. Players that opt out of the PokerStars Live League 2025 Rankings (as mentioned in paragraph 2 above) acknowledge that they will also opt out of the chance to be awarded this Additional Prize.
12. Casting Process: There will be a panel of judges (made up of members of the PokerStars Ambassadors team and 1 independent panel member) that will select 1 player as the winner of the Additional Prize. The winner will be chosen based upon who is deemed a good fit by the panel. 
13. All players who win a prize (including the Additional Prize) will be contacted via e-mail by the PokerStars Registrations Team. All prizes will be awarded within 30 days of the winners being determined. Winner’s names will be published on the PokerStars Live page here: www.pokerstarslive.com.
14. All prizes are non-transferable and non-exchangeable and cannot be redeemed for money, money’s worth or consideration of any kind. Prize-winners must agree to wear the PokerStars logo or PokerStars branded clothing exclusively throughout the poker tournament(s) to which their prize grants them entry and failure to do so may result in forfeiture of their prize.
15. Deal making: If players in an Event confer, negotiate and/or agree amongst themselves to alter, divide, share or distribute the prize pool payout for that Event in any manner other than as stipulated by PokerStars or the organiser/sponsor of the Event, then the Points for that Event will: (i) be awarded to players who receive a cash payout based on their finishing position at the Event; and (ii) be capped at the number of Points that would be awarded to the lowest ranked finishing position in receipt of a cash payout. By way of example only, if a deal to split the prize pool for an Event is made with 3 players remaining, all 3 players will receive Points for third place.
16. If, at the end of the PS Open 2025 tour, PokerStars EPT 2025 tour and the Irish Open 2025 schedules, 2 or more players tie on Points in relation to any prize, then the tied player with the highest finishing position in a Main Event (EPT, PS Open or PS Open Cup) will win that prize. If more than one tied player has the same highest finishing position in a Main Event, then the tied player with the next highest finishing position in a Main Event will win the applicable prize. This process will be repeated until the winners of all 9 prizes have been determined.
17. If a player believes there is a mistake in the Points awarded in the PokerStars Live League 2025 Rankings they should, at any time during the League and/or at the latest within 30 days of the prize winners being announced, send full details by email to: live@pokerstarslive.com with the subject heading “PokerStars Live League 2025 Rankings Correction”.
