A rebuy is a purchase of additional chips that a player makes during a predefined period of a tournament. An add-on is an additional purchase of chips offered to all players.
Consider the following examples:
Example 1: A player would purchase more chips when all chips have been lost and the player would like to continue to play in the tournament.
Example 2: A player may purchase more chips to increase the chip count. A player may REBUY any time the player drops below a specific chip count. Unless otherwise specified, our rebuy tournaments will permit rebuys when a player's chip count is at 1500 or 2000 chips or less.
Rebuys may only take place during a "rebuy round".
Add-on option: Unless otherwise specified, our rebuy tournaments include an "add- on" option at the end of the last rebuy round (level). All players are offered an add-on purchase option at the end of the last rebuy round (level), regardless of the number of chips any player holds.
The fee for a rebuy/add-on is listed on the tournament page of the client. Unless otherwise specified, the fee and the number of chips will be the same as the initial chip purchase (at the start of the tournament).
A rebuy may be purchased (up to the tournament limit) by clicking on the Get More Chips button at the bottonm of the table or when the popup offer is made. If you request a rebuy during the play of a hand when your chip stack is at or below the initial stack, and you win sufficient chips in that hand to go above the rebuy threshold, your purchase will automatically be cancelled.
When you are offered a rebuy/add-on, you only get a short period to decide before we deal the next hand. Please give thought to your plan in advance. We take NO responsibility if you miss the rebuy/add-on window. We recommend that you have sufficient funds or Poker Points for rebuys/add-ons before the start of the tournament. It is unlikely there will be enough time for you to increase your account balance with a new purchase and then return to your table for a rebuy/add-on.
Rebuy/add-on chips are delivered for the start of the next hand following the purchase.
We cannot take responsibility for cashier transaction requests for rebuys that fail due to connectivity problems with the site or general Internet propagation delays, regardless of the cause. |
