Featuring up to 4,000 players,
multi-table tournaments play just
like real world poker tournaments
and are an exciting way of matching
wits against other players to with
substantial prizes.
Each multi-table tournament has a
set start date and time, all players
register to play in advance. You can
register at any time from when the
tournament registration opens up
until an hour after the tournament
begins. When registering, you'll
need to pay the buy-in together with
the registration fee, which is
typically between 2% and 20% of the
buy-in. For example, if you want to
play in a $10 No Limit tournament,
the buy-in would be $10 and the
entry fee $1, giving a grand total
of $11.
When you buy-in, each player starts
with the same number of chips and is
assigned a random seat on a randomly
selected table. The number of tables
in play will reflect the number of
players who have registered, so if
4,000 players have entered, then
there will be 400 tables at the
start of play. As the tournament
progresses and players are
eliminated, tables are closed and
players are reseated to make sure
tables remain well balanced. Table
and seat reassignment is again
conducted at random, but takes into
consideration your position in
relation to the blinds so you don't
lose out. Eventually, ten players
will remain on the final table where
they'll battle it until one player
has all the chips.
Once you register, prior to the
tournament start, you will receive a
visual reminder within the poker
client and will be allocated a seat
at random. You will be able to view
your table and seat one minute
before the tournament start time.
The real beauty of multi-table
tournaments is that all the buy-ins
form a prize pool, a prize pool
you'll be playing for a share of.
The pool is determined by a range of
factors, such as the number of
entrants, the stakes and any
possible add-ons (that's extra money
that we put in), and the payout
structure is similarly determined by
the number of entrants. Perhaps the
prize pool and payouts are best
illustrated by another example. Say
450 people enter a $10 NL
tournament, then there will be a
prize pool of $4,500. Using our
standard payout structure, the
winner will walk away with just over
$1,200, the runner-up $765, which
isn't a bad return for $11 and a
couple of hours play.
We have a huge range of multi-table
tournaments running every day
including freerolls and tournaments
with buy-ins ranging from just 10
cents to $250. Fun, fast and
exciting; make sure you experience
the thrill of the competition.
