Sit & Go Multi-Table Tournaments
We are adding more to our Single –Table tournaments, but
firstly ‘Single Table Tournaments’ are being renamed as ‘Sit
& Go Tournaments’ as we have also added 2-table and 3-table
Sit & Go Tournaments.
Sit & Go Multi-Table tournaments are available under the Sit
& Go Tab in the lobby.
Late Registration
The Late registration feature allows a player to join in a
Tournament even after it has started. Late registration will
be offered in all our regular tournaments. Late registration
in a tournament will close when one of the following events
occur:
♠ One (1) Player gets eliminated from the tournament.
♠ 1st level in the tournament is completed.
♠ All tables are filled up and no empty seats left.
A Registered player can un-register from the tournament only
15 minutes before the tournament start time.
Life lines
The feature of waiting for additional time for an invested
player to make a selection if he is disconnected is termed
as a “Life Line”.
On certain types of tables (All tournaments and some
specifically marked ring game tables) normal “Disconnection
Protection” feature will not be available.
On these tables, when a player who is invested in the
current pot and gets disconnected, the system will wait for
additional time for the player to reconnect and make a
selection. The amount of time for the additional wait
depends on current pot size:
♣ No time added if Pot size is up to 5*X
♣ 30 seconds if the pot is more than 5*X and upto 20*X
♣ 60 seconds if the pot is more than 20*X and upto 40*X
♣ 120 seconds if the pot is more than 40*X and upto
80*X
♣ 240 seconds if the pot is more than 80*X
‘X’ is the big blind Amount if it’s a Flop game or lower
limit of the stakes for 7 Card Stud games.
For tournaments, this big blind amount or lower limit of the
stakes would be based on the level of the tournament at the
time of the disconnection.
System will wait for additional time only if the current
player who gets disconnected is
a) Invested in the pot and
b) His current options does not contain “Check”
option.
If the current player who gets disconnected does have the
“Check” option available in the option set, then system will
automatically invoke the “Check” option for him without
waiting for the “additional” time.

System Health Page
We have introduced the feature of informing you the reason
behind a disconnection from our game servers to help you
solve the problem faster. There are many reasons why you can
get disconnected from our servers. They are as follows:
♥ You can get disconnected from the Internet.
♥ There is some connection problem between your ISP and
our game servers.
♥ There is some technical problem with our game
servers.
Whenever you get disconnected from the Internet, you would
get a dialogue box informing you that you are presently not
connected to the Internet.
In case there is a connection problem between your ISP and
our game servers or there is some technical problem with our
game servers, we would pop up a webpage which would show the
status of our game servers in 30 seconds in case of initial
connection and 45 seconds in case of reconnection.
We hope this helps you understand the reason for the
disconnection so that you can resolve it if the problem
exists at your end.
Login using the Screen Name:
You can now login to the client using the account name as
well as the screen name. It is also possible to login to the
My Account section on the website using the account name as
well as the screen name. This is to avoid any confusion you
would have between the account name and the screen name.
The Account Name is used for all the transactions carried
out in your account. This is the name that you select at the
time of registration.
The Screen Name is the name that appears to other players
while you are playing and it can be different from the
account name. The option to change the Screen name is
presently available only for our real money players.
