Blinds increase gradually at regular time intervals and the game continues until one player has won all of the chips on the table. Sit ‘n’ Go tournaments do not allow players the option of rebuying back into the game in the event of losing their chips. There are no break periods as tournaments will continue until they are finished.
Prizes are awarded to the highest placed finishers, with the payout rates dependant on the number of players starting the game.
Two player games pay 100% to the winner.
Six player games payout the top two positions, with 70% to the winner and 30% to 2nd place.
Ten or twenty player games payout the top three positions; the winner takes 50%, second 30% and third 20%.
