    Read on for full details of the tournaments you can play at Natural8.com.

    Guaranteed Tournaments - Guaranteed tournaments have a guaranteed prize pool. The guaranteed amount will be distributed as promised even if the total collected buy-in amount falls short of the guaranteed amount.

    At Natural8, regular tournaments contribute the collected buy-in amount to the prize pool. If there are more buy-ins than the guaranteed prize pool, the total money pool increases accordingly.

    Freezeout - Essentially a single elimination tournament where players are only allowed a single buy-in. At the start of the tournament, all players will receive an equal amount of tournament chips. If a player loses all of their chips, they will be eliminated from the tournament and will not be able to re-enter.

    Progressive Bounty - In a Progressive Knockout (PKO) Bounty tournament, each player has a bounty on his or her head. When a player is knocked out of a tournament, half of the corresponding player’s bounty is added on to the bounty of the player who knocks him or her out. The other half of the knocked-out player’s bounty is awarded to the player who knocked them out as an instant cash prize.

    Mystery Bounty - Mystery Bounty tournaments provide an exciting twist to Natural8’s regular Bounty series. Players are rewarded for each player they eliminate. However, there is a twist as the value of the bounties are a mystery!

    At the start of the tournament, all players receive an equal amount of tournament chips. During the tournament, every player can purchase additional chips equivalent to the starting chip stack. This is called a ‘Rebuy’ and players have the option to rebuy at any time during the specified time when their current chip amount is equal to or below the starting chips. The time allotted for rebuys and the number of rebuys available are different depending on the tournament.

    N-Stack - In an N-Stack Tournament, each player receives a set number of chip stacks when registering. This set number is also known as ‘N’. Before the tournament starts, you can decide how many of these stacks you will start with and how many to keep in reserve to use later.

    Satellites - Satellite tournaments are qualifying events that give you an opportunity to win a seat at the main tournaments' tables with a much lower buy-in. These Satellites are typically in turbo or regular speed types and run between 30 to 90 minutes before the main event. Satellite winners will then qualify to the main tournament and be able to participate without having to pay the regular buy-in amount.

    Tournament Overlays - Overlays refers to the gap between a poker tournament's guaranteed prize pool and the actual size of the prize pool generated by entrants. For example, if a tournament has a guaranteed prize pool of $1000, a buy in of $10 and 90 players enter, the players will contribute only $900 to the prize pool. This would give the tournament an overlay of $100.

    Flipout - Flipout tournaments are all-in tournaments where players will go all-in on every hand until there is a winner!

    Sit & Go - Sit and Go tournaments (SNGs) are online poker tournaments that start when a specific number of players have signed up. There is no fixed schedule and the event will begin as soon as the required number of players have been met.

    Freeroll - Freerolls are free-to-play poker tournaments, allowing you to enter a tournament without paying a buy-in or entry fee.

    Shootout - A 'shootout' is a type of tournament where a player must win and be the last one standing at their table in order to move onto the next round or final table. Most other tournament formats tend to merge tables in order to maintain balance among the field, but a shootout will require you to play out the full table before progressing.

    Hyper Turbo & Turbo Tournaments – These popular fast-paced variations of regular tournaments have shorter blind levels and less time to make your next move. Turbo tournaments typically have five minute blind levels while Hyper Turbo tournaments will feature three minute blind levels.

    Private tournaments - Private tournaments are tournaments that take place exclusively on Natural8. They are either held for a particular group of players for the purpose of promotion or open to all Natural8 players to participate.

    Asian Poker Tour

    The Asian Poker Tour (APT) is a prestigious series where top players from around the world compete in various tournaments held in different countries throughout the Asia Pacific region.

    APT offers large prize pools and attracts players of all levels - from seasoned professionals to up-and-coming amateurs. It provides a platform for Asian poker players to showcase their skills and has contributed to the rising popularity of poker in Asia.

    You can enter APT events by playing on Natural8!

    World Series of Poker

    The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is the largest and most prestigious gaming event in the world, and players can enter WSOP events directly at Natural8, with international players around the world able to play Satellite events for the chance to secure a place at the tables in Las Vegas.

    Zodiac Series

    The Zodiac Series at Natural 8 Poker offers a unique and diverse range of tournaments tailored to various player levels, focusing on the Chinese Zodiac theme. This series includes daily events with special collectable avatars and significant guaranteed prize pools. Most significantly, they take place at peak times for players in Asia.

    These tournaments feature a starting stack of 20,000 chips, with blinds increasing every 10 minutes and unlimited re-entries during the late registration period.

    The Zodiac Series runs a comprehensive schedule of daily tournaments, each named after a Chinese Zodiac sign. Some highlights include:

    • Zodiac Rat Opener: ¥88 buy-in with an ¥18,000 guarantee.
    • Zodiac Dragon High Roller: ¥800 buy-in with a ¥60,000 guarantee.

The Zodiac Series also features in some wider online series on the GG Poker Network, when guarantees are extended even further than usual.

    Players can collect unique Zodiac avatars by participating in these tournaments. These avatars add a fun and thematic element to the series, encouraging participation across different events to complete the collection.

    Natural 8 offers several satellites for the Zodiac Main Events, making these high-stakes tournaments accessible to a broader range of players. Satellite buy-ins start as low as ¥40, and there are multiple opportunities to qualify each day.

    This series is ideal for players in Asian time zones, looking for competitive play with the added excitement of collecting unique avatars.
