Tournaments are an exciting way to play poker. You pay a fixed entry fee to participate rather than playing with cash on each hand. Players taking part receive the same number of starting chips, (usually 2,000) which do not equate to cash value and are used only for participation in the tournament. When you lose all your chips, you are eliminated (except in Rebuy Tournaments). The tournament ends when all players, bar the winner, have been eliminated. Prize money is awarded to the top finishing players in each tournament, with the greatest amount going to the winner. The number of players receiving prize money varies, depending on the number of entrants in the tournament.

Unlike in cash games, the size of the blinds is not fixed. Instead they start at a low level (eg 20 chips for the small blind, 40 for the big blind) and increase after a set time has elapsed. The longer a tournament takes to complete the higher the blinds will get. The length of the blind levels varies. We offer tournaments with normal, speed and turbo blind levels.

In turbo tournaments the blind levels go up every 1-minute, for speed tournaments every 3 minutes and for normal tournaments every 8 minutes. For Grand Finals and some bigger buy in multi-table tournaments we extend the blind levels to every 15 minutes.

We also run Satellite and Rebuy/Add-on tournaments and offer regular freerolls.

Satellite or Feeder tournaments offer a way to qualify to play in bigger tournaments for a relatively small buy-in. For example, you may play in a $2 satellite tournament in order to qualify for a $20 tournament that takes place at a later date. We offer both single table and multi-table satellite tournaments. From time to time we also offer satellite tournaments that feed into offline tournaments such as Grosvenor Festival events throughout the UK as well as EPT and WPT tournaments.

Freeroll tournaments are tournaments that are free to enter, but have cash prizes. Players use G Points rather than cash to enter freeroll tournaments. The number of G points required to enter a freeroll tournament varies, depending on the value of the prizes on offer.

Tournaments can also be Limit, No Limit or Pot Limit.
