Daily tournaments
One new tournament every day. Each round pairs you with one other player on a shoe only the two of you see. Last player standing wins.
Today's tournament
Enter any time until 2:00 AM ET. You're paired with the next player to enter and both of you play right away. Round 1 closes 3:00 AM ET.
How it works
The full process, including ties and byes, is published here and on every match page.
- A new tournament begins every day at 3:00 AM ET, and that first day is Round 1. Nobody can enter before it begins; after that you can enter at any time until 1:59:59 AM ET — one hour before Round 1 closes.
- Round 1 pairs you the moment you enter: if another entrant is waiting for an opponent, the two of you are matched and can both play right away; if nobody is waiting, you wait for the next player to enter (you'll be emailed when you're paired) and cannot start a shoe yet. Pairs form in entry order, and nobody can see who is waiting. The hour-long buffer means every pair gets at least an hour to play. Every later round pairs you at random with one other survivor when it opens.
- Each round you and your opponent play the same six-deck shoe, dealt fresh for the two of you and seen by nobody else: $1,000 to start, $25 minimum bet, and the shoe ends once 50% of the cards are dealt. Walk away whenever you like after your first hand — banking a win early counts.
- A round runs from 3:00 AM ET to 2:59:59 AM ET the next day. Whatever your bankroll is when the round closes is your score, even mid-shoe.
- Your opponent's result stays hidden until you have finished your shoe or the round has closed.
- If only one player plays a hand, that player advances — even after busting to $0. If neither plays, both are out.
- Both played? Higher ending bankroll wins. Still tied: more hands played. Still tied: more hands won. Still tied: the tiebreak draw — the site draws a number from 1 to 100 and the player whose tiebreak number is closest wins (equal distance means a redraw). Your number is set on your profile and locked in when you enter.
- Odd number of players? In Round 1, if you're still unpaired when entry closes, you advance on a bye. Afterwards the bye goes to the surviving player who won the most money in the previous round; if that ties, whoever posted the score first.
- Last player standing is the champion. Fewer than two entrants voids the day. If nobody plays the final, there is no champion.
