Rules
- You must be 21 or older to enter any of our tournaments.
- You must register with your real name, and provide full personal details. Players with incomplete, inaccurate, and/or non-verifiable details will be disqualified from the tournament.
- By entering any of our tournaments you are agreeing and accepting the following rules:
Multi Table Tournaments
Registration for a multi-table tournament will typically open 2 hours before the tournament's posted start time and will end 5 minutes before the tournament start time with some exceptions.
Once a player has registered for an event, their buy-in is non-refundable.
Un-registering from a Tournament. Players can un-register up to 5 minutes before the start of an online poker tournament. Players who have won their seats through a satellite can not un-register.
Unless noted for a specific promotion, all players will begin with the same chip amount.
See Buy-Ins & Blinds structures and Prize Pool.
At the beginning of a tournament, all players are seated at random and seat changes are not allowed.
The dealer button is randomly assigned at the beginning of a multi table tournament.
For freerolls, if a player does not show up within five minutes of the tournament start, that player will be automatically removed from the tournament or that player will be blinded out (bankroll will be depleted through blinds).
During the tournament, all information will be displayed in the tournament detail window.
As a tournament progresses the tournament software combines tables and maintains an equal number of players at the remaining tables.
When balancing tables, the software will move players in such a way that they will remain in the same proximity to the blinds as they were from the table they were moved from.
In limit tournaments bets are limited to 4 during each betting round, the initial bet plus 3 raises. This is true regardless of the number of players remaining in the tournament.
If there is a split pot, not equally divisible by the number of players in the hand, the 'extra' chips will be awarded to the player closest to the left of the button.
In tournaments, when two players get eliminated in the same hand, the person who started the hand with the most chips gets the higher finish and awarded the corresponding prize pool for that placement.
When two players remain in the tournament, the player due to receive the big blind will inherit the dealer button.
Hand-by-hand dealing may be enacted during any tournament. This means that the tournament software will wait until a hand is played at all remaining tables, before dealing the next hand. This discourages the practice of slow playing.
In the event of a tournament crash or cancellation due to technical difficulties, the prize pool will be divided in half all remaining players will receive an equal share of half the prize money; and the other half of the prize money will be allocated to the chip leaders (chip leaders will be determined by the number of places the tourney would have paid) in proportion to their chip count. In the event a Tournament pays a fixed prize, such as a WSOP seat, the distribution will be based on chip lead. If a tie in cheap lead occurs, management will contact players to arrange a poker match to determine the winner.
PokerOnlineNetwork does not support private deals between players in tournaments, nor will the Poker Room assist in facilitating these deals or be liable in any way for broken deals or transactions not honored by one of the parties.
Disconnects
By participating in an online poker tournament, a player accepts the risk of Internet disconnection due to problems with the connection between their computer and the servers, lag or freeze, or other problems in the player's computer. PokerOnlineNetwork does not accept any responsibility for a player disconnect except in the case of a server crash.
If a player times out during a hand, whether connected or disconnected, the All-in Security will be in effect, if the player has no more All-in security available his or her hand will be folded.
If a player is not connected before a hand starts, he or she will be dealt cards, a blind or an ante will be posted, and then a hand will be folded automatically.
Our standard all-in policy applies to our tournaments.
During game play, players are prohibited from chatting about the play of their own and/or their opponents' hands until all actions for that hand are complete. Such chat could result in disqualification or other penalties.
Tournament registration must meet the minimum requirement for that event or the tournament will not run. In this event, all buy-ins and fees will be returned to the players' accounts.
Soft playing or chip dumping is not allowed. Players involved in these or other unethical activities may be eliminated from a tournament and/or have their accounts terminated.
Tournament players must adhere to the rules outlined in our User Agreement.
PokerOnlineNetwork reserves the right to disqualify any player who does not follow tournament guidelines or acts inappropriately during a tournament.
PokerOnlineNetwork reserves the right to change any tournament time, guaranteed prize pool, or event without notice.
PokerOnlineNetwork reserves the right to alter the rules and make final decisions on all tournament related issues as they arise, and at our sole discretion.

Single Game/ Sit n Go Tournaments
Unless specified as a play-money tournament, all buy-in fees and entry fee requirements must be met before a player is eligible to enter a single-table online poker tournament. This must take place before the start of each event.
Once the specified number of players have registered and taken their seat, all Texas Hold'em and Omaha poker tournaments start automatically.
Once a player chooses a seat and the tournament begins, they cannot change seats.
Refunds are automatically given to players only if they leave the table prior to the tournament starting.
The online poker tournament will end once one player has won all the chips. Once a player has lost all of their chips, they are automatically eliminated from the poker tournament.
Breaks are not given during sit and go tournaments.
All players begin with equal chip amounts in our standard sit and go tournaments.
See standard sit and go tournament structures.
The button is randomly assigned to a player at the beginning of the tournament.
Tournaments are played until one player has all the chips
In tournaments when two players get eliminated in the same hand, the person who started the hand with the most chips gets the higher finish and awarded the corresponding prize pool for that placement. If the players began the hand with the same amount of chips, they will tie and the prize pools will be combined and equally distributed. (For example, if 2 people who started a hand with the same number of chips are eliminated at the same time and would be 9th (which pays $60) and 10th (which pays $40), their standings would show tied for 9th and each player would be paid $50).
Players who have an active internet connection and do not act during their turn will be folded.
PokerOnlineNetwork uses the dead button feature to ensure that all players take the big blind in their turn. As such, it is possible that a player will receive the button for more than one hand. It is also possible that a big blind is posted in a hand but no small blind, if the person who was to receive the small blind was eliminated from the tournament in the previous hand.
In limit tournaments bets are limited to 4 during each betting round, the initial bet plus 3 raises. This is true regardless of the number of players remaining in the tournament.
When two players remain in the tournament, the player due to receive the big blind will inherit the dealer button.
Players who lose connection during an event will be blinded off until such a time they can rejoin their tournament.
In the event a tournament is cancelled due to technical difficulties at PokerOnlineNetwork, players who were already eliminated from the event will lose their buy-in and fees. The remaining players in the event will be paid the prize money based on their chip stacks and standings in the tournament at the time the tournament stops running.
Our standard all-in policy applies to our tournaments.
Soft playing or chip dumping is not allowed. Players involved in these or other unethical activities may be eliminated from a tournament and/or have their accounts terminated.
