The world’s largest micro stakes festival is back. From 23rd June to 7th July 2024, Natural8 will be hosting the microFestival 2024. With buy-ins starting at just $1, this festival offers all Natural8 players a chance to win big without breaking the bank.
Second Chance Freerolls: More Ways to Win
This year, the microFestival seeks to give everyone a second chance with the unique Second Chance Freerolls, where failure to make the money stage gives players another chance to win prizes. There are 3 daily freerolls (NLHE, KO, PLO) that run for a total of 15 days.
All the players have to do to get a $5,000 Second Chance Freeroll ticket are as follows:
- Play in any microFestival event.
- Finish OUT of the money.
- Receive a $5,000 Freeroll ticket for the same game type (NLHE, KO, PLO)
On Saturdays and Sundays, players who finished out of the money in Asia Time Zone events [(6:00 p.m. – 11:59 p.m. (HKT)] will get special $5,000 Asia Freeroll tickets.
