New Tournament Features

Cash out tournaments

Some tournaments allow you to cashout your chips before the end of the tournament. These tournaments are called cashout tournaments. During the tournament you can click CASHOUT from the menu to cashout your chips (certain conditions must be fulfilled).

Double Chance tournaments

Double chance tournaments allow players to start with a free re-buy into the tournament. Some Double Chance tournaments may offer more than one re-buy, please see the specific tournament information to confirm how many Chances will be offered.

Head's up rematches

Available in Head's Up Sit 'n Goes, these offer a choice for the same two players to play each other again following the conclusion of the tournament.

Auto Re-buy

If a tournament allows re-buys and/or add-ons, you can have automatic re-buys and add-ons at the tournament table. On the table, there are two check boxes, Auto Re-buy and Auto Add-on that you can select to have automatic re-buys and add-ons.

Tournament Deals

Multi-Table Tournaments on PlayNow.com have Tournament Deal functionality that allows players to agree to a prize payout prior to the tournament ending. This payout is based on a formula and ALL players must agree in order for the deal to take place. If ALL players do not agree to the deal proposed by the system, play will continue.

Once prize positions have been reached; if players decide amongst themselves that they wish to split or �chop� the prize between those left in the tournament, they will receive their allotted amounts. Learn more about Tournament Deal Info.
