- 888poker has replaced its old rebuy system with a new re-entry mechanism offering players more flexibility in tournaments.
- The new system allows players to re-enter tournaments at any point during the late registration period.
- The re-entry system was implemented in response to player demands and is currently only available on the dot-com network.
- Each re-entry is treated as a new player entry, meaning players are assigned a fresh stack of chips and a new table seat.
- Previously, players had to make a rebuy decision within a 20-second window or they forfeited the chance to re-enter the tournament.
- The new re-entry system is expected to increase player turnout and contribute to larger prize pools.
Online poker network 888poker has finally implemented a re-entry feature in its tournaments, effectively replacing the previous rebuy system. This change allows players more flexibility and convenience when participating in tournaments.
Previously, 888poker offered players the option to re-enter a tournament, but it operated under the classic rebuy system. Under this system, players had to make a quick decision immediately after getting eliminated, and if they missed the rebuy window or chose not to rebuy, they were unable to re-enter the tournament later during the late registration period.
With the implementation of the re-entry feature, players now have the freedom to re-enter tournaments at their own discretion as long as the late registration period is open. This means that even if a player leaves the table or closes the lobby after elimination, they can still rejoin the action by paying the buy-in and re-entering the tournament.
This improvement in the system removes the restrictions that were inherent in the classic rebuy method.
