The majority of Jackpot Sit’n’Go Tournaments are played as ‘winner-takes-all’ tournaments but for the highest ‘Jackpot Level’ tier, the first place will receive 75% of the prize pool, second place will receive 15% of the prize pool and third place will receive 10% of the prize pool.

In the unlikely event that you enter a Jackpot Sit’n’Go Tournament and you wait more than 5 minutes for two other players to join, you will be given the option to wait longer, or deregister. If no selection is made for 15 seconds, you will automatically be unregistered from that Jackpot Sit’n’Go Tournament.

See section 6 of the Card Room Rules for the Jackpot Sit'N'Go rules.

FAQS

1. What are Jackpot Sit’n’Go Tournaments?

Jackpot Sit’n’Go Tournaments are three-player poker games where each player starts with the same chip stack (500) and the prize pool is randomly determined at the start of the game. The winner of the game is the player left with all 1,500 chips (500 x 3 = 1,500).

2. How much can I win with the Jackpot Sit’n’Go Tournaments?

The randomly determined jackpot prize pool (decided at the start of the game once all players have entered) allows all three players to play for a prize pool up to 200 times the buy-in pool amount. Buy-ins range from GC 1,000 / SC 0.5 all the way up to GC 20,000 / SC 10, meaning if you hit the jackpot for a GC 20,000 / SC 10 buy-in, you are playing for a prize of GC 4 million / SC 2,000. The majority of Jackpot Sit’n’Go Tournaments are played as ‘winner-takes-all’ tournaments but for the highest ‘Jackpot Level’ tier, where the first place receives 75% of the prize pool, second place receives 15% of the prize pool and third place receives 10% of the prize pool.

WPT Global Poker Games

1. What is a flight tournament?

A flight tournament has multiple qualifiers (or Day 1s), and the top X% (usually 10-20%) of each flight advance to the final day. When a flight reaches that percentage, it ends automatically, and the remaining players move to the final day (chips are carried over). Flights may also end based on level, time, or remaining players. Some flights may not award prizes, while others do. After all flights end, the final day starts as scheduled. You must buy in for each flight; direct entry to the final day is not allowed. You can enter multiple flights in the same tournament, but only your largest chip stack carries over if you qualify more than once.

2. What is a satellite tournament?

A satellite tournament is a tournament where you can win entry to a major tournament for a small buy-in. The entry fee is usually 10-20% of the major tournament. Multiple entries may be awarded depending on the number of participants. Example: In an $11 ($10+$1) satellite, one ticket to a $110 ($100+$10) tournament is awarded for every 11 players. Some satellites award generic tickets that can be used for any tournament with the same buy-in, not just a specific tournament.

3. What is a guaranteed tournament?

A guaranteed tournament is a tournament where a certain prize pool is guaranteed regardless of the number of players. If there are more players, the prize pool increases, but it will not fall below the guaranteed minimum. Example: In a $55 ($50+$5) tournament with a $2,000 guarantee, even with 22 players, $2,000 is paid out. With 63 players, $3,150 (63×$50) is paid out.

4. How do I use tournament tickets in my backpack?

To use a ticket, select a tournament with the same value as your ticket from the 'Tournaments' tab in the lobby and register.

5. Which hands are eligible for the cash game jackpot?

Each jackpot table displays the prize for each qualifying hand. Players must use both hole cards and have a winning hand to qualify for the cumulative jackpot.

Fairness and Security

1. What is WPT Global's fairness algorithm?

Our fairness algorithm is designed to ensure that all players have an equal chance of winning and to enhance the player experience. By limiting the number of skilled players at each table, we provide new players with a fair chance of winning. You will never be seated with eight pros at the same table and will mainly play against others of similar skill. Even for pros, limiting the number of other pros provides a better experience. Whether you are a new, recreational, or professional player, you will find your preferred game in one of the largest cash game player pools.

2. How does WPT Global ensure safety and reliability?

Our team consists of over 50 industry experts and former professional poker players. We use AI detection tools to monitor for bots, RTAs, collusion, and multi-accounting 24/7/365. Every security case is reviewed independently by at least two team members to ensure accurate and objective conclusions.
