How long does a tournament last?

That depends on what kind of tournament it is. Expect single table Sit & Go tournaments to take about an hour. Multi table tournaments may take several hours.

What does it cost to play a tournament?

Every tournament has a specific buy-in. In a $10+1 tournament for example the cost to play would be $11. $10 goes to the prize pool and $1 is the fee for entering the tournament. Tournament buy-ins range from free (freerolls) to over a hundred dollars.

What type of poker tournaments can I play on PokerLoco?

You can play single table Sit & Go tournaments (for 2, 5 and 10 players) and multi table tournaments in Texas Hold’em, 7-card Stud, Omaha and 5-Card Draw. Both Limit and No Limit.

When are the big tournaments?

You'll find a weekly calendar for all the tournaments in the tournament section of the PokerLoco website! From the schedule, you can go to the individual tournaments own page. There you register and find information on buy-in and prize money.

Why and how often do the levels increase?

The blinds in tournaments are increased as the tournaments progress so as to ensure that the tournaments do actually end with more players being eliminated and the remaining players having more chips on hand. The levels in single-table tournaments increase every 10 hands. In multi-table tournaments, they are increased approximately every 15 minutes.

What is a Freeroll?

A freeroll is a multi table tournament that is free to enter where you can win cash prizes. See Freeroll FAQ section.
