Re-buy tournaments – when your chips are gone, you can simply buy some more as long as it’s within the allowed period

Add-on – some tournaments offer the chance to buy extra chips at the end of the re-buy period

Freeroll – no entry fee at all!

Guaranteed tournament – a minimum prize, guaranteed, however many people enter

Added prize money – where we add prize money to the prize pool. See ‘Lucky Dollar’!

Single-table tournaments – the people around your table are the only players. Knock them out and you’re the winner!

Multi-table tournaments – players are on lots of tables; as they get knocked out the tables reduce in number until the final table, and the winner

Short-handed – 5 players on a table instead of 10; the button comes round quicker, but then so does big blind…

Heads-up – just two of you playing off

Turbo-tournament – not for the faint hearted! The blinds (compulsory bets) increase every 3 minutes!
