Online Poker Tournaments Rules

GENERAL TOURNAMENT RULES:

Poker tournaments are played until one player has won all the chips. The prize money is divided according to the number of players. To play in a tournament, select one of the tournaments in the Lobby. You can now see all the information about the tournament you've chosen.

If you participate in a tournament, you accept all the rules and agree to respect the poker etiquette. Should you infringe upon any of these rules, you will be warned or blocked for a period of time, or, in case of a more serious offense, you will be disqualified from the tournament. A disqualified player's chips will be drawn in.

Only one player per IP address is allowed to play in any tournament due to danger of collusion between players. This rule mainly applies to Sit-N-Goes and Step tournaments.

If you lose your internet connection, you have no all in protection. Blinds, antes and bring-ins will continue to be deducted.

If players have no connection during the play or do not react in time, their hand will be folded.

If a player signs up for a tournament but is not there for the first hand - the player will be blinded off for 20 minutes - after that the player will be disqualified.

If the server goes down, the current hand will be cancelled. If the tournament can’t be continued, it will be rescheduled and all buy ins refunded.

If a tournament is cancelled before it starts, all players who have registered will be refunded their buy-in for that tournament.

If a tournament is cancelled after it has started, but before the outcome has been decided (e.g. due to a technical failure): The tournament will be rescheduled and the buy ins refunded to the players account.

It is strictly forbidden to talk about a hand that is not finished and circulate information to other players.

Seating arrangements are random.

A change of seat during the tournament is not possible, except at tables breaking down.

Each participant gets an equal amount of chips at the start. Blinds, antes and bring-ins will be deducted from players who sit out during the tournament.

Limits and blinds will be increased during the tournament according to a pre-fixed time limit. Remaining players will be moved to different tables, as tables break down. A player who is farthest from the blind will be seated at their new table in a similar position. A player who is placed between the dealer button and the big blind after being moved must wait one hand before being dealt in.

If a player is all in and no further actions are possible, all cards will be exposed and the hand will finish as usual.

Chat is unavailable for all players as soon as one player is all in.

If two players go all in during the same hand, the player who had more chips will be ranked higher.

In the case of any dispute(s), the decision(s) of Face Up Management is final.

Turbo and Super Turbo Tournaments

Turbo Tournament: This is a tournament where the levels will be shorter and you will hav eless chip sto pay and is scheduled to be completed in less than 2 hours - in most cases will end in about 90 minutes. Super Turbo Tournaments: These tournamengts will be even faster than the turbo tournaments and will end in about one hour.

Rebuys: In some tournaments, it is possible to make rebuys - this means, to buy additional chips to keep your chip count higher. The number of possible rebuys (from 1 to 'unlimited') is set by the tournament director. The amount of time that a player may make rebuys will be determined by the tournament director. A rebuy can only be made when the players chip count is at his starting stack count or below. i.e. the tournament starts with 1000 in chips a player may rebuy any time they have 1000 or less in chips.

Add-on: In some tournaments, it is possible to make an Add-on - this means, to buy additional chips to keep your chip count higher. An add-on may be made once during the first break. Note: An add on may be made regardless of the number of chips a player has in his stack.
