For the second year in a row, the PokerNews Podcast will be giving away a Gold Pass valued at $10,000 to November’s North American Poker Tour (NAPT) Las Vegas at Resorts World.

Unlike last year, only a small handful of Gold Passes will be awarded by PokerStars (we’re talking only around a dozen), so you don’t want to miss this opportunity.

The festival is sponsored by PokerStars and will run November 3-12 and culminate with a $5,300 buy-in, $3 million guaranteed Main Event. Click here to view the full schedule.

Now PokerStars has announced another opportunity for those in the United States to win a coveted Gold Pass to NAPT Las Vegas simply by listening to both the PokerNews Podcast and the new MSPT Podcast Presented By PokerNews.

Keep on reading to learn what you need in order to be entered to win.

What You Need to Do to Win

Here’s how it works.

There will be a total of 10 episodes – seven of the PokerNews Podcast hosted by Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Ben Ludlow, and four of the new MSPT Podcast Presented By PokerNews hosted by Chad Holloway and Kyna England – each presenting a code word somewhere in the episode (don’t worry, it’ll be easily identifiable), starting with the PokerNews Podcast episode on Thursday, September 11.

Listen to each episode, note the keyword, and at the end put them together to spell out a 10-word phrase. Simply email the correct 10-word phrase to [email protected] and you’ll be entered to win. A winner will be randomly selected after the giveaway ends at 11:59 p.m. PT on Sunday, October 26. Terms and conditions apply, which can be viewed in full here.

The last keyword will be revealed in the Thursday, Oct. 23 episode of the PokerNews Podcast, meaning you’ll have that weekend to put together the phrase and send it in along with your name and location.

Here's a look at the episodes where you can find keywords, though you'll have to watch/listen to each episode to learn where they're revealed.

Earn Additional Entries

Submitting the key phrase qualifies you for the giveaway, but by doing so, you can also earn up to three additional entries by supporting both the PokerNews Podcast and MSPT Podcast Presented By PokerNews. Simply leave reviews on either Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or both, and send in screenshots showing you’ve done so. Do that and you’ll earn additional entries.

Likewise, follow both the PokerNews Podcast and MSPT Podcast Presented By PokerNews on SoundCloud and you’ll earn yet an additional entry.

• Leave a review for both Podcasts on Spotify
• Leave a review for both Podcasts on Apple Podcasts
• Follow both podcasts on SoundCloud

So, if you send in the key phrase along with the three things above, you can earn a maximum of three entries in the giveaway!
