1Register
In order to register you need to buy the tournament chips and secure your seat by paying your admission fee.
You can join an open tournament when registering on the welcome page. Once registered, you will be automatically directed to your table. All seats are assigned at random.
2Multi-table tournaments
These tournaments are played with 12 or more players. The players register in advance. The game becomes tight while the players are being eliminated, because the pools are usually increased due to the number of players. Finally the one who accumulates all the chips of the competition becomes the winner.
3Sit'n'go tournaments
A simple table tournament can be played with up to ten players. It starts as soon as the table is full. There is no interruption during the game. The tournament continues until the game is over. Here the winner is also the player who accumulates all the chips of the competition.
4Satellites /Qualifiers
Satellite tournaments are both simple table tournaments and multi-table tournaments and their role is to get qualified for special tournaments.
The winners win a seat in the main event.
5Guaranteed tournaments
A guaranteed online poker tournament is a tournament where the prize pool is guaranteed by the poker room. For example, a guaranteed $10,000 tournament will always have a minimum $10,000 prize pool. If not enough players join to cover the prize pool, the poker room pays the remaining amount. If more than enough players join the tournament, their buy-in will be added to the guaranteed amount. A guaranteed $10,000 just means that there is minimum of $10,000 to be split between the winners.
