What is Beat the Bubble?

Getting beat in the bubble is a frustrating experience we’ve all been through. For whatever reason it happened to you, we’ve designed a formula to ‘insure’ it does not happen again!

By having bubble cover before you enter the event, you arm yourself with an advantage over the rest of the field during that critical period we all call the ‘Bubble’.

It may well mean the difference between you getting into the formal payout structure and going on to a big payout, or losing everything.

How does this affect my playing strategy?

Having the confidence to oppose those big stacks when the tournament gets down to the bubble stage will bolster your game strategy and give you an edge that you never had before.

For qualifiers to guaranteed events from small buyin satellites, this is a ‘must have’. If you’ve found yourself in a big $ buyin event, either through qualifying or even being comped by your poker room, the extra few dollars to buy those extended payout places will seem like the biggest bargain you’ve ever seen!!

How do I pay for bubble cover?

When you have completed the purchase details of the tournament you want to buy bubble cover for, you will be taken to the Payments screen. Here you will choose the method of payment that suits you best.
If you have added a credit to your Account, you will always have the option of choosing to pay using your credit. Alternatively, you can pay via player to player transfer if the poker room you are playing at offers that option.

Whichever method you choose, please make sure you complete the payment before the tournament begins or any claim will be rejected.

We will be adding more payment options over the coming weeks.

What events are covered?

We only offer cover for tournaments events in which more than 32 players are registered to play at the time the tournament begins. We offer cover for one, two or three places above the payout structure for any one event. Do not try to buy cover if you think the tournament won't have enough players to meet this level as any claim will be rejected if there are not enough players in the tournament.

How long does payout take?

Claiming your payout is easy and guaranteed. We will pay you out within 24 hrs of every valid claim. We will always pay you via your poker account by depositing money into your account. Alternatively, we can pay you into your Moneybookers Account if you have one, or even via Paypal.

How is the Bubble payout calculated?

The maximum amount we will pay you if you find yourself out of a tournament in the bubble will be 125% of the tournament buyin (excluding fees). The final amount we will pay will depend on the final number of players in the tournament and which type of bubble cover you have chosen.
