Rules & How It Works

One freeroll tournament every night. No buy-in, no chips to purchase, no in-game currency — you receive a starting tournament stack when you sit down. Play until one player holds every chip. Finish in the money to win a share of the real cash prize.

Tournaments are listed up to 7 days in advance. Reserve your seat any time before it starts.

You must be on time. Late registration closes 5 minutes after the start — after that, seats lock, the field is set, and no one else can join. A tournament won't begin with fewer than 8 players; to keep the nightly running, our house regulars fill any empty seats so the game always fires.

Blinds rise on a timer through escalating levels (small blind / big blind, with antes kicking in on later levels). Structures — Standard, Turbo, and the Sunday Deep "Major" — are set by the tournament and can be tuned by the organizer. The live clock shows the current level, time to the next, and the average stack.

On your turn you may fold, check, call, bet, or raise. Being No-Limit, you can bet any amount up to your entire stack (all-in) at any time. A raise must be at least the size of the previous bet or raise. When players are all-in for different amounts, side pots are formed automatically.

Roughly the top 15% of the field finishes "in the money," with a top-heavy payout ladder — the champion takes the largest share. The bubble (one spot before the money) is where it gets tense. Prizes are paid out manually after results are verified.

Nova is 18+ and free to enter (no purchase necessary). It's structured as a skill-based sweepstakes; void where prohibited. One account per person. We reserve the right to withhold prizes for cheating, collusion, or multi-accounting. Please play responsibly.
