What types of tournaments await you on PokerPlanets?

PokerPlanets offers tournaments for every taste — from classic formats to exciting knockout battles and thrilling Mystery Bounty events. Choose your path and compete for big prizes.

Classic Tournaments
The foundation of tournament poker! This time-tested format is perfect for those who value strategy and patience. Here, it’s all about maintaining your stack, choosing the right moments to play, and confidently moving towards the final. Unlike other formats, success here isn’t measured by how many opponents you eliminate, but by your ability to progress towards the payout stages. Plus, the more players there are, the bigger the prize pool. Tournament prize details and structure are available in the lobby.

Multi-Day Tournaments
Your path to big wins! If you prefer tournaments with deeper structures, this format is for you. You can choose a convenient starting day, gradually earn chips, and advance to the final stages. Once you reach Day 2, your prize is already guaranteed, but the real challenge lies ahead — it’s in the final where the biggest prizes are decided.

Progressive Knockout Tournaments
Every victory earns you money! This format is ideal for those who love fast-paced action, as eliminations are rewarded immediately. For each opponent you knock out, you receive an instant payout, and your own knockout prize grows. The closer to the final, the higher the stakes. At the final table, knockouts can be worth even more than standard prize payouts.

How it works: The starting knockout amount in a tournament is $20. When you eliminate an opponent, half of this amount ($10) is immediately credited to your account, and the other half is added to the value of your own knockout. Now, if someone eliminates you, they will receive $30 — and so on.

Mystery Bounty
Knock out opponents and unlock secret rewards! If you love the element of surprise, this format is for you. Unlike regular knockout tournaments, no one knows what the bounty will be for eliminating an opponent. Some rewards may be modest, while others are real jackpots. The bounty draws start only after a certain stage in the tournament, adding an extra layer of intrigue. The biggest prizes go to those who are willing to take risks and show courage.

All-in or Fold

The rules for All-in or Fold are extremely simple. In each hand, players have only two options: go all-in or fold. Apart from that, the game follows the classic rules of Hold'em or Omaha. All-in or Fold maximizes the thrill for the boldest players, offering only two choices and no further betting rounds — it’s all or nothing, right now.

Satellites
A ticket to major tournaments at a minimal cost! Want to play in a prestigious tournament but don’t want to pay the high buy-in? Satellites are your chance. Qualify for top events with a small buy-in and compete against the best players. PokerPlanets offers both classic and knockout satellites. In classic satellites, winners receive tickets to higher buy-in tournaments, while knockout satellites give you the opportunity to earn a ticket to a major event while also earning money by eliminating opponents.

Multi-entry Tournament
In this format, you can start the tournament with multiple stacks and play them simultaneously. At registration, you can choose from one to four entries. You pay the corresponding number of buy-ins (including tickets) and receive the same number of starting stacks. Each stack plays independently and may be seated at different tables.

Important: there are no traditional re-entries. You can register only once, but with multiple stacks. When the field reaches a predefined number of unique players (this may vary depending on the tournament), all additional stacks are merged. If you have multiple stacks, one remains in play while the others are considered eliminated at the moment of the merge. Final placements are assigned to those stacks, including prize payouts if the tournament is already in the money.

This format increases your chances of a deep run and adds more dynamics to the game.

Freerolls
The chance to win without any investment! If you want to try your hand at poker without risking your own money, freerolls are the perfect starting point. These tournaments have no entry fee, but you can still win real money, tickets to major tournaments, and valuable bonuses. This is not only an ideal option for beginners but also an opportunity for experienced players to grow their bankroll without any additional investment.
