Bet365 Poker Rules

Bet365 Poker follows a set of rules to ensure fair and exciting gameplay across all tables and tournaments. Whether you’re new to poker or a seasoned player, understanding these rules is key to improving your experience and avoiding confusion. Below are the Standard Game Rules, Tournament Rules, and the rules specific to Single Table and Multi-Table Tournaments.

Standard Game Rules

The Standard Game Rules apply to all poker games offered by Bet365, ensuring a consistent and fair experience:

  • Game Objective: The objective is to create the best five-card hand possible using a combination of hole cards and community cards.
  • Hand Rankings: Hand rankings follow the traditional poker hierarchy, from high card to royal flush.
  • Betting Rounds: Players will engage in several rounds of betting, with options to check, bet, raise, call, or fold.
  • Blinds and Antes: Some games use blinds (small blind and big blind) while others may use an ante system to initiate the betting rounds.

Winning Hand: The player with the best hand at the showdown wins the pot, unless all other players fold before the showdown.

Tournament Rules

Bet365 offers both Single Table Tournaments (STTs) and Multi-Table Tournaments (MTTs). Here are the key rules that govern tournaments:

  • Tournament Format: Players buy-in for a set amount and compete against other players for a prize pool. Tournament chips are used instead of cash, and players are eliminated once they run out of chips.
  • Blinds and Levels: In tournaments, blinds or antes increase at regular intervals to ensure the game progresses. The structure of the blinds is defined by the tournament.
  • Payouts: Tournament payouts are typically distributed based on the number of entrants and final standings.
  • Winning the Tournament: To win a tournament, a player must survive all elimination rounds and secure the largest chip stack at the final table.

Single Table Tournament Rules

Single Table Tournaments (STTs) are a popular format on Bet365, and they have their own specific set of rules:

  • Number of Players: These tournaments typically feature 6 to 10 players at a single table.
  • Elimination: Players are eliminated once they lose all their chips. The last remaining player wins the prize pool.
  • Blind Structure: In STTs, blinds typically increase every few minutes, ensuring action continues.
  • Prize Pool Distribution: The top players receive a share of the prize pool, with the winner taking the largest portion.

Starting Chips: Players begin with an equal number of chips.

Multi-Table Tournament Rules

Multi-Table Tournaments (MTTs) involve multiple tables, and players compete for a larger prize pool. These tournaments have unique characteristics:

  • Multiple Tables: Players begin at different tables and are gradually moved between tables as others are eliminated.
  • Elimination and Re-entry: Players are eliminated when they lose all their chips. In some MTTs, there is the option to re-enter the tournament if offered.
  • Increasing Blinds: Like STTs, blinds increase at regular intervals, but MTTs typically have longer levels and more gradual increases.
  • Prize Pool: The prize pool is divided among the top players, with the largest share going to the tournament winner. Prizes are awarded to players based on their final chip stack.

Final Table: As the number of players dwindles, remaining players are moved to the final table to determine the winner.
