Satellite tournaments

How do satellites work?

Satellites are lower buy-in tournaments that give you a chance to win entry into higher buy-in events.

They’re a cost-effective way to qualify for major tournaments.

 

How can I find satellite tournaments?

You can find satellite tournaments in the tournament lobby.

Mobile:

Go to the 'Tourney' tab.

Desktop:

• Open the tournament lobby.
• Use the filter.
• Select 'Satellite'.

 

How can I see which tournament a satellite leads to?

You can view the target tournament directly from the satellite lobby.

• Open the satellite tournament lobby.
• Go to the 'Home' tab.
• Select the link ‘Satellite to [tournament name]’.

This opens the target tournament window.

 

What do I win in a satellite?

If you win a satellite, you receive entry into the target tournament.

You do not receive cash as a prize.

 

Can I unregister from the target tournament?

You may not always be able to unregister from the target tournament after qualifying.

Some tournaments do not allow unregistering.

If unregistering is not possible, a warning message is shown.

If you don’t plan to play a specific event, avoid entering satellites that lead to it.

 

What happens if I win multiple satellites to the same tournament?

You cannot register more than once for the same tournament.

If you qualify multiple times:

• You won’t receive another seat.
• You won’t receive cash.
• You’ll receive the tournament buy-in as T-Money instead.

T-Money is automatically used before real money for tournament entries.

 

What happens if I win a satellite after the target tournament has started?

The outcome depends on the tournament status.

• If late registration is still open: You’re registered automatically.
• If the tournament is already in progress: You’re seated automatically and can't unregister.
• If late registration is closed or you were already registered for the event: You receive the buy-in as T-Money instead.
