Stake.com now offers poker tournaments to registered players inside its industry-leading casino.

Poker tournaments allow you to play against poker players from all over the world.

Stake poker tournaments are easy to enter and allow you to win big money.

All registered players are able to play in poker tournaments on Stake.com, as explained below.

Stake.com Poker Tournament Types

Unlike table games where you are playing against the casino, Stake poker tournaments let you compete against real players.

When you play on Stake.com you will find several types of poker tournament available: Buy-in, freeroll and Sit and Go.

Stake poker tournament prize pools vary depending on the tournament.

Here is how each of the three tournament types work:

Buy-in: To play in a buy-in tournament, you need to have funds available in your Stake account. You purchase entry, and each player's entry fee (the buy-in) is added to the prize pool. The more players taking part, the bigger the prize pool will be.

Freeroll: Poker freerolls are extremely popular. They allow you to enter a poker tournament for free, with no buy-in fee to play. This means you get to play in a real-money tournament without needing to deposit any crypto or fiat currency.

Poker freerolls usually have a smaller prize pool, while some will offer free entries into buy-in tournaments as a prize.

Sit and Go: Sit and go tournaments start once a set number of players has been reached. Unless buy-in and freeroll tournaments, they do not have a set start time and date. As soon as the required number of players have entered, the tournament will start.

By entering a Stake.com poker tournament you have the chance to win real money, often with big prize pools available. Prize pools can vary depending on the size of the tournament, and the tournament payout structure.
