How do I register in a tournament?

It’s easy! Open the poker app and log in to authenticate yourself. Then click on the TABLES tab and either the SIT 'N GO or MULTI-TABLE TOURNAMENTS to see the list of available tournaments. Select one that is in "registration" mode. The tournament will start automatically at the appropriate time.

I registered for a tournament but am no longer able to play. Can I cancel my registration, or transfer my seat to another player?

Transferring your seat to someone else is not permitted. However, you can cancel and obtain a refund. You can cancel your registration in multi-table tournaments and satellite tournaments up to six minutes before start time and withdraw from SIT ‘N GO tournaments at any time before they start. Your registration fees will be refunded. If you won your seat in a satellite tournament, you will not be able to cancel your registration, since only players that actually paid for their entry fees can cancel and receive a refund.

What happens when a tournament is cancelled?

A refund policy has been designed for this situation. See tournament refund policy procedures.
