ACR Poker offers 40 guaranteed $12,500 Vegas Main Event packages
Qualify through daily steps satellites, starting from freerolls
Winners can choose Las Vegas trip or take the full cash value

The summer tournament calendar is hitting its stride, and ACR Poker has opened its primary qualifying path to Las Vegas. Running until June 28, 2026, the site's Vegas Main Event Satellites are guaranteeing 40 total prize packages to the $10,000 world championship. With half a million dollars in total value up for grabs, players can work their way up through a daily steps pipeline.

If you're eyeing a trip to the desert, let's check out how the qualifying system maps out, when the primary tournaments drop, and what options you have if you win.

The Package Structure

Each of the 40 guaranteed packages carries a total valuation of $12,500 to cover the core costs of a live summer run. The funds are allocated into two distinct pools:

The Seat: $10,000 is earmarked directly for the buy-in to the Main Event in Las Vegas.
The Travel: $2,500 is credited to the player to assist with flights, hotel accommodations, and daily expenses.

One notable feature of this promotion is its built-in flexibility. If a player wins a package but cannot travel to Nevada, or simply prefers to skip the live series, ACR Poker allows them to take the full $12,500 value in cash, deposited straight into their online account balance.

The Sunday Mega Satellite

The promotion revolves around four primary events running every Sunday afternoon throughout June. Players can locate these tournaments in the game client under the "Tournaments" tab by using the "Vegas" filter.

The Schedule: The final two Mega Satellites take place on Sunday, June 21, and Sunday, June 28, 2026, starting at 1:05 p.m. ET.
The Buy-In: Direct entry into the weekly final costs $630.
The Guarantees: Each individual Sunday Mega Satellite guarantees 10 full packages, putting $125,000 in value on the line each week.

Climbing the Step Satellite Ladder

Players do not need to pay the full $630 entry fee to get involved. ACR Poker has integrated a multi-tiered steps system running daily to accommodate bankrolls of any size. The qualifying path follows a four-tier pipeline:

The Freerolls: Free-to-enter tournaments running multiple times per day that award seats to the next cash level.
The $6.60 Super Satellites: Daily qualifiers that feed into the mid-tier steps. A Sunday version at 8:15 a.m. ET guarantees 50 seats to the next phase.
The $66 Satellites: Intermediate events running throughout the week. The Sunday edition at 10:15 a.m. ET features a 25-seat guarantee to the weekly final.
The $630 Mega Satellite: The final tournament where the 10 packages are awarded.

ACR Poker Pro and former Main Event champion Chris Moneymaker highlighted the structured approach of the campaign.

Many poker players follow the Las Vegas Main Event season closely, and this satellite schedule gives eligible participants a structured way to compete for package entries. The promotion was designed to provide multiple weekly qualification dates throughout June.
