Multi Table Tournaments
MTTs (multi-table tournaments) are made up of many different tables, each with a number of players competing for a seat at the final table. Once players buy in, they receive a corresponding playing stack for the duration of the tournament and do not have to make additional investments unless they take advantage of rebuys, add-ons or reentries. Tournaments start at a predetermined time with a randomised seat assignment. The tournament is complete when a single player has won all the chips that are in play. The remaining places are determined based on the order in which players were eliminated from the tournament. There is a variety of MTTs that players can join, including regular Hold’em and Omaha, Knockout (KO), Freezeout, R+A, Reentry tournaments, Freerolls and more. The number of tournaments can vary day to day, with a minimum 30-40 tournaments per day:
Tournaments
Knockout tournaments
Tournaments in which players are awarded real cash prizes for eliminating an opponent. In Knockout (KO) tournaments, the prize pool is split, part of which goes to the guaranteed prize pool, and the other part - to the bounty prize pool. The bounty prize pool is distributed among players for each opponent they knock out even before the end of the tournament, based on the predetermined buy-in distribution ratio. The buy-in of each registered player is split into the guaranteed prize pool and the bounty prize pool according to the above-mentioned ratio. The greater the number of registrations, the smaller the share of the guaranteed prize pool for each prize. Respectively, the greater the number of registrations, the bigger the bounty prize pool. Typically, the buy-in distribution ratio between the payout and the bounty prize pools is 50/50, unless otherwise stated in the tournament lobby.
Spin&Go Tournaments
Single table tournaments for three players. Once all three players have registered, the tournament starts. A random buy-in multiplier is activated and a prize pool of up to 1000x of the initial buy-in is randomly determined. Whoever wins, gets the full prize.
Reentry tournaments
A tournament in which players can register before a specified period and reenter the tournament after being eliminated. In the reentry tournaments, players are allowed to buy back in if they are eliminated before a certain point in the tournament. For each tournament, the reentry period and the number of reentries allowed are specified in the tournament lobby.
Freezeout tournaments
A tournament in which players are eliminated until there is just one player left with all of the chips. In addition, players are not allowed to rebuy or add-on in a "freezeout"; once a player runs out of chips, they are eliminated from the tournament.
Satelites
Tournaments in which the prizes are tickets or entries to a larger tournament. The winners of these satellites usually get a buy-in to a larger, more prestigious event. The main idea of satellites is to allow players with a smaller poker bankroll to win their seats in more expensive tournaments without risking much money.
Sit&Go tournaments
Tournaments without a set start time for a fixed number of players. The tournament starts immediately after the predicted number of players are registered and all the spots in it are filled.
Phased tournaments
Tournaments that are held in sections and in which entries are allowed for multiple days. Players can choose from different starting phases that play at different times, and then combine them later in the final phase of the event. Phased tournaments allow players to start a tournament at the time most convenient for them. Phased tournaments have one prize pool, which is collected at each starting phase and is combined in the final phase. Eventually, the combined prize pool of all phases is distributed in the Final Phase. Each player can play multiple starting phases, and their stacks and bounties (for knockout tournaments) will be combined for the next or final phase. At the final phase, there can be either direct buy-in registration or no direct registration. To qualify for the Final Phase without a direct buy-in registration, players must play the phase which leads directly to the Final Phase. In the tournaments with direct buy-in registration, players can re-enter before the end of the late registration in case they lose all their chips.
Hybrid tournaments
Tournaments in which prizes are both tickets toanother tournament and real cash money.
R+A tournaments
Tournaments with rebuys and add-ons. Rebuy + Add-on (R+A) tournaments allow players to make rebuys and add-ons during the game. Based on the specifics of the tournament, players can make a limited or unlimited number of rebuys throughout the initially defined rebuy period. After the rebuy period is over, players may be offered an add-on option.
TM tournaments
Tournaments in which tournament money is granted as a prize.
