Beginner Tournaments

We have the poker tournaments that will get you started on successful tournament play.

As a new player to poker, you may often hear from more experienced players that you have to pay for your poker education, as it is through gaining experience playing that you will become a seasoned and successful player.

A typical poker tournament will pay somewhere around the top 8% to 15% of finishers - meaning that when playing in these tournaments, you must outlast 92% to 85% of your opponents. For a beginner player looking to enjoy the excitement of tournament poker, this can, at times, be a daunting task to make the money (along with a steady bleed on the poker bankroll).

By playing in our Beginner Tournaments, you have up to twice the chance to make it into the money when comparing the number of payouts to a typical tournament. With the prize structure of these events, up to twice as many players are paid - so you will make the money more frequently thus preserving your poker bankroll as you learn the game.

Beginner Sit and Go Tournaments

You will find these tournaments listed in the "Sit and Go Tournaments" tab in the poker software. These tournaments are available 24/7 and will start when 9 or 6 players buy in and sit down at the table. Simply open a table and click on an empty seat to play.

When playing in 9-handed tournaments, 44% of players are paid (1st - 4th place). In our standard 9-handed Sit and Go tournaments, only 33% of players are paid (1st - 3rd place). When playing in 6-handed tournaments, 50% of players are paid (1st - 3rd place). In our standard 6-handed Sit and Go tournaments, only 33% of players are paid (1st & 2nd place).

Beginner Scheduled Tournaments

These tournaments are scheduled to run at a specific time each day. You will find them listed under the "Scheduled Tournaments" tab in the poker software. When the "Status" is "Registering" you can double-click the tournament and select the "Register" button displayed in the tournament lobby. Two minutes prior to "Seating" you will be sat randomly along with the other registered players. Be logged into the poker software during seating and your table will open and you're ready to get started!

These tournaments will pay out a varying number of top finishers based on the number of players that register for the tournament - often the number of players paid out is twice as many players as a standard scheduled tournament.
