Whether you’re a seasoned grinder or a casual player, there’s a seat waiting for you at the virtual tables.
Daily Tournaments, Low Buy-Ins, Big Prizes
The PokerNews Home Games have been a fan-favorite for a while now, dishing out over $50,000 in tickets and prize boosts so far. With a mix of No-Limit Hold’em (NLH), Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO), and mixed game formats like HORSE and 8-Game, there’s something for everyone.
These tournaments kick off on February 1st at 7:30 pm BST and will run every single day throughout the month. The best part? Buy-ins are kept at an ultra-affordable $1.10, making it accessible to players of all levels.
For those aiming for more than just a single tournament win, the Leaderboard competition will track top performers across February. The top 10 players at the end of the month will receive extra prizes, adding more incentive to keep grinding.
