More chips, more money!
We now offer rebuys and add-ons on some of our multi-table tournaments.
This means that you can purchase extra chips during a tournament. A rebuy is
only available before the first break and will only be available to players who
are at or below their original chip count. The first add-on is available during
the first break and will be available to all players, regardless of their chip
count. Tournaments may allow both methods of boosting your chip count, or just
rebuys.
If a tournament allows rebuys or add-ons, this fact will be displayed in the
Tournament Lobby (following the tournament name) and in the information box on
the right-hand side. The details will be displayed upon selecting the
tournament.
Further information:
The prize pool distribution for rebuy and add-on tournaments will not be
calculated until both the rebuy and add-on period has ended. Only the total
prize pool figure will be displayed until the add-on period is over. If the
add-on option is not offered, the prize pool distribution will take place after
the rebuy period has ended.
You can request a rebuy by clicking on the 'Rebuy' button on the game
screen.
If you lose all your chips, the rebuy screen option will appear (if you are
eligible). You will have 30 seconds to decide whether you want to rebuy or not.
If you do not rebuy, you will be eliminated from the tournament.
The number of rebuys allowed for a tournament can vary from zero to
unlimited. The number of add-ons can also vary from zero to unlimited in a
tournament. The number of rebuys and add-ons allowed in a tournament will be
displayed in the Tournament Lobby under the tournament description box.
When a tournament starts, you can see stack details, as well as the
following information:
- Cost of rebuy and number of chips per rebuy
- Cost of add-on and number of chips per add-on
Exception in rebuy and add-on tournaments:
If a player is eliminated from the tournament at a rank that has a prize
associated with it, even though the prize pool is not published, then the
rebuy/rebuy and add-on period will be closed. The prize pool will be published
and the eliminated player will be paid his prize money.
Crash Settlement policy impact
With each rebuy and add-on, the total chips in the tournament will increase.
The total chips in rebuy tournaments will be equal to the sum of all players
'player's starting chips (including extra starting chips, if any)' plus the sum
of chips given to all players through a rebuy request plus the sum of
chips given to all players through an add-on request. The total chips in the
tournament will continue to accumulate as and when players make a rebuy request
and the final number will be calculated only when the add-on period is
over.
If a tournament crashes during the add-on period, the exact count of total
chips in the tournament at the time of crash (including the chips added into
the tournament as a result of rebuy and add-on requests) will be used to
distribute the balance of the prize pool money.
