TOURNAMENTS
There are three main types of tournaments, each are explained in full on this page. Click here for more tournament information, including detailed hand-for-hand chart and payout schedule. Also see the Poker.com Tournament Guide for tournament abbreviations and definitions.
Freeroll Tournaments
A freeroll tournament is generally a multitable tournament with more than 10 players. Freeroll means that there are no buy-in or entry fees to play in the tournament. Some of the Poker.com freerolls have entry requirements which must be met before free entry is granted, you can find out more below by clicking in the "requirements" column.

Guaranteed Tournaments
Guaranteed Tournaments are generally multitable tournaments with more than 10 players. Guaranteed means that there is a Guaranteed prize pool, no matter how many entrants are in the tournament. Guaranteed tournaments have a buy-in and entry fee. Usually the prize pool is Guaranteed above the maximum number of players in the tournament, this ensures bigger prizes even if there are only a few tables competing.
Some Guaranteed tournaments have "rebuys" and "add-ons", noted as an R/A tournament. This means that if you bust out (lose all of your chips) you can "re-buy" into the tournament and continue to play (same as the original buy-in amount). An add-on is usually offered at the first break, in which the re-buy period ends. Add-ons give those who are short stacked a chance to "top up" thier chips (generally the same as the original buy-in amount). Some tournaments have "double add-on" which will give you twice as many chips as the starting chip count, but for the same cost of an original buy-in.
A freezeout tournament means there are no rebuys, once you lose all of your chips, you are out of the tournament.

Sit 'n' Go Tournaments
Sit and Go tournaments are usually single table tournaments, but can also be multi-table.
Sit and Go tournaments have a specific buy-in and entry fee amount, which then forms the prize pool. This is split up by the winners, generally top 3 and following the payout schedule.
You can also create your own Sit and Go tournaments, using the CUSTOM tab in the poker client.
Charity Tournaments
On the second Wednesday of every month Poker.com will be running a $10/$5 Freezeout Tournament for Charity. For every $1 donated by our players (the entry fee) Poker.com will match it 100%. The winner of the tournament will not only win part of the prize pool but they will also get to select which charity will receive the donation.
