The blinds in tournaments are increased as the tournaments progress so as to ensure that the tournaments do actually end with more players being eliminated and the remaining players having more chips on hand. The levels in single-table tournaments increase every 10 hands. In multi-table tournaments, they are increased approximately every 15 minutes.
8. What is a Freeroll?
A freeroll is a multi table tournament that is free to enter where you can win cash prizes. To receive this cash however, you have to earn Poker Points. See Freeroll FAQ section.
