PokerStars–FanDuel Dynasty Series Offers $3.5M Guaranteed
The joint U.S. poker series sets one of its largest guarantee packages yet for regulated American players.
PokerStars and FanDuel have launched the Dynasty Series, a joint online poker tournament series carrying $3.5 million in total guarantees, targeting U.S. players as of September 2026.
Why It Matters
A $3.5 million guarantee package signals genuine scale for regulated U.S. online poker, a market that has historically struggled to match offshore prize pools. The PokerStars–FanDuel partnership combines PokerStars' tournament infrastructure with FanDuel's established U.S. customer base, potentially expanding the addressable player pool in the handful of states where real-money online poker is legal. For players, larger guarantees mean better overlay opportunities when registration falls short of the prize pool target. The series raises the competitive bar for rival platforms operating in New Jersey, Nevada, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
Context
PokerStars entered the U.S. market through its partnership with FanDuel, operating under the Flutter Entertainment umbrella. Online poker in the United States remains limited to a small number of licensed states, which constrains liquidity compared to European markets — making high-guarantee series one of the primary tools operators use to drive traffic and acquisition. According to PokerNews, the Dynasty Series represents one of the largest guaranteed prize pools the PokerStars-on-FanDuel product has offered to date.
What's Next
Full tournament schedule details and buy-in structures are available via the PokerNews source at pokernews.com. Players in eligible states should verify registration deadlines, as late entries and satellite feeders typically close in the days surrounding each major event.
