Tournaments offer a fast-paced, fun, and exciting way to enjoy your favorite gaming activity.
On this page, we offer an overview of tournaments and their rules and payouts.
To play in one of our single-table tournaments, select the Single-table Tournament tab in the Tables view of the Lobby. Select an open table and take your seat. As soon as there are nine players seated, the tournament will begin. If you wish to leave prior to the start of the tournament, you may simply leave the table without penalty.
Single-table tournaments have a fixed payout structure. Satellite single-table tournaments do not pay cash; instead, for the winners, the prize pool goes to purchase a seat in the multi-table tournament fed by that satellite.
Multi-table Tournaments
Our multi-table tournaments offer you the chance to participate in far larger-scale tournaments. To play, you must register in advance. Click the Multi-table Tournament tab in the Tables view of the Lobby. You may un-register without penalty any time prior to the lock-in time when registration for the particular tournament closes.
The payout structure for multi-table tournaments is determined by a number of factors: the number of entrants, the stakes, the guaranteed payout pool (if any), and any funds added to the prize pool by the house. In rebuy/add-on tournaments, the prize pool may grow during the rebuy and add-on periods.
You can check for multi-table tournaments for which you are registered by selecting the My Tourneys tab in the client’s Tables Lobby view.
Satellite Tournaments
We offer players a chance to buy in to Single-table Tournaments that offer, as the prize, a seat in a Multi-table Tournament Final. The prize pool of the Satellite Tournament goes to buy the seat in the more expensive Multi-table Final. The prize pool in a Multi-table Final can build to a large amount quickly.
In short, buy a seat at a Satellite STT, win, and you get seated at the MTT Satellite Final. Small buy-in could get you a very big prize pool.
Rebuy/Add-on Tournaments
A rebuy is a purchase of additional chips that a player makes during a predefined period of a tournament. An add-on is an additional purchase of chips offered to all players.
Consider the following examples:
Example: A player may purchase more chips to increase the chip count. A player may REBUY any time the player drops below a specific chip count. Unless otherwise specified, our rebuy tournaments will permit rebuys when a player's chip count has dropped to the equivalent of the initial chip stack or less. For example, when you start with 2,000 chips, you may rebuy only if your chip count is 2,000 or fewer.
Rebuys may only take place during a "rebuy round." Our Grand Final Rebuy tournaments offer rebuys for four levels. Grand Final Rebuy tourneys have Feeder Satellites. See the current Tournament Schedule for details. Other rebuy tournaments offer rebuys for three levels.
Add-on option: Unless otherwise specified, our rebuy tournaments include an "add-on" option at the end of the last rebuy round (level). All players are offered an add-on purchase option at the end of the last rebuy round (level), regardless of the number of chips any player holds.
The fee for a rebuy/add-on is listed on the tournament page of the client. Unless otherwise specified, the fee and the number of chips will be the same as the initial chip purchase (at the start of the tournament).
A rebuy may be purchased (up to the tournament limit) by clicking on the dollar sign ("$") on the table or when the popup offer is made. If you request a rebuy during the play of a hand when your chip stack is at or below the initial stack, and you win sufficient chips in that hand to go above the rebuy threshold, your purchase will automatically be cancelled.
When you are offered a rebuy/add-on, you only get a short period to decide before we deal the next hand. Please give thought to your plan in advance. We take NO responsibility if you miss the rebuy/add-on window. We recommend that you have sufficient funds or Action Points for rebuys/add-ons before the start of the tournament. It is unlikely there will be enough time for you to increase your account balance with a new purchase and then return to your table for a rebuy/add-on.
Rebuy/add-on chips are delivered for the start of the next hand following the purchase.
Rebuys require a cage transaction. We cannot take responsibility for cage transaction requests that fail due to connectivity problems with the site or general Internet propagation delays, regardless of the cause.
Blinds Structure
A blind is part of a player's bet, unless the structure of a game or the situation requires part or all of a particular blind to be "dead." It is a mandatory bet posted before the cards are dealt used to stimulate the action on the first betting round. There are usually two blinds: the small blind and the big blind--both are posted before the start of the hand. The former is normally posted by the player to the left of the virtual dealer, and the next player following him/her posts the latter. Each player takes turn in posting blinds.
The table below shows small/big blinds at each level of any of our tournaments.

Tournament Rules
Our tournaments differ from the non-tournament games in several ways. The first section covers all tournaments.
• If you fail to respond or have been disconnected, there is no All-In protection.
• You may not Sit Out. You may, instead, mark yourself as Away From Table.
• If you time out due to disconnection or fail to respond when it’s your turn, you will be marked as Away From Table automatically.
• If you are in the Away From Table mode, your blind is paid, when appropriate, and you are folded. When you return, be certain to uncheck the Left Table box.

Single-table Tournaments
These rules apply to the single-table tournaments.
• As soon as the table is full, the game begins. These are Sit and Go games.
• There are no break periods.
• You may leave the table any time prior to the start of the tournament without penalty.
• Seating is at your choice. You may choose any open seat at a single-table tournament. This will be your seat for the duration of the tournament.
Multi-table Tournaments
These rules apply to multi-table tournaments.
• Multi-table tournaments are scheduled. You register for the tournament. These tournaments have posted start times. You must have registered prior to the start. Registration locks a few minutes before the start of the tournament. You will receive audio and visual reminders prior to the start. You will be seated prior to the start.
• Seating is random. A few minutes before the tournament begins, the table will open with your seat assigned.
• The software keeps tables balanced in terms of the number of players seated at each. As players go broke, causing an imbalance in the distribution of players, you may be reseated to another table. This is done randomly; therefore, you may experience a reseating repeated times.
• The software closes tables as the number of open seats grows. You will be advised when the table at which you are seated is being closed. The break order is in descending order from the highest-numbered table for the tournament.
• You may open and watch other tables.
• The tournament lobby will show the number of players in the tournament, their current chip count, and the prize structure.
• Multi-table tournaments periodically have a brief break, normally four minutes an hour.
Satellite Tournaments
You should note the following other important differences with Satellite Tournaments:
• Only the first placer in the STT Satellite qualifiers gets the prize: a seat in the MTT final.
• If you play and win more than one STT Satellite qualifier, you get the cash value of the seat if you already have one seat in the final.
• You may register directly in the MTT final, paying the full-seat price.
• If you won a seat in the MTT final, you could not unregister to take the cash value. If you directly purchased the seat in the final, you may unregister and receive a refund for the buy-in and fee prior to the start of the MTT final.
• STT Satellite qualifiers will not begin within two hours of the final. Anyone seated at an STT Satellite qualifier that has not started before the two-hour cutoff will receive a refund, and the STT will be cancelled. In the unlikely event that a Satellite Single-table qualifier has not completed by the start of the Grand Final MTT, the winner of the Satellite STT will be awarded the cash value of the seat. This may take up to 48 hours to process.
• You may purchase a seat in the MTT final up until moments before the start of the MTT final.
