It's August. EPT Barcelona in on the way. The World Championship of Online Poker isn't that far out either. You've got a few weeks to start putting away a few extra dollars for when you might need it. PokerStars just made it a little bit easier.

This month, PokerStars has a couple of promotions running that could help you pocket a little extra cash. Need some? Keep reading.

Jacks or Better

For the rest of the month, you could win up to $10,000 instantly when you complete a daily challenge on PokerStars. If you win, the money is yours to cash out immediately.

To start playing, you will need to play cash game hands at stakes of $0.05/$0.10 or higher. When you win holding a pair of jacks or better, you will start racking up points. Once you hit 100 points, you'll get a cash prize. What's more, to get you started, PokerStars will give you 20 points when you play your first eligible hand.
