What is Extra Time?

We understand that internet connections can sometimes be unstable. That's why we've added an Extra Time feature that provides protection against intermittent connection failures. Extra time depends on the type of tournament you are playing. If you are playing a cash Best of 2(and 3) game, then the extra time during a game is 120 seconds. In case of practice game, the extra time is 10 seconds.

If you do not make the move in the alloted time, our system will automatically award extra time for you to make the move. When you're using Extra Time to make the move, our system will automatically inform your opponent on the same table. Your Extra Time to make the move is displayed to you and the opponent and begins counting down until you make the move. If you do not make your move before your extra time runs out, you will miss your turn.

What if I Miss Three Moves?

If for some reason, you miss three consecutive moves during a game, the game will automatically end and you will receive points based on the cards in your hand. For more on scoring, please click here (link to how is scoring done).
