Video & Voice Chat for Your Whole Poker Tournament

Poker is better when you can see the people you’re playing against. The poker faces, the trash talk, the groan when the river lands.

At a tournament that was hard to get, because everyone at the table needed their own video time, and a tournament easily runs longer than the 30 minutes a day a free account gets.

Starting today, the host can turn on video and voice chat for the whole tournament with a single purchase. One pass covers every table for 24 hours, and every player who turns their camera on is covered, whatever plan they’re on.

How to turn it on

1. Open your tournament and go to the Structure tab.
2. Find Video & voice chat and click Enable.
3. Choose how many players can use video, from up to 50 to up to 600, and pay with NOW Coins.

That’s it. At every table of the tournament, the video chat button now shows Free, so your players know it’s on you.

Passes start at 250 NOW Coins for up to 50 players. The full price list is in the FAQ.

How the pass works

• 24 hours, starting with the tables. You can buy the pass while players are still registering, and the 24 hours only start when the tables are created. If the tables are already running, the pass starts right away.
• Seats follow the players. Every player who turns video on takes a seat until the pass ends, even when they’re moved to another table. Plus and Platinum players take a seat too.
• The pass is for your players. Registered players can take a seat, including the ones already knocked out. Spectators who aren’t in the tournament use video with their own plan.
• Need more seats? Upgrade. Moving to a bigger tier costs only the difference, and the pass keeps its end time.
• Running longer than 24 hours? When the pass ends, buy a new one from the same place. That gives you 24 more hours, and the seats start over.
• Changed your plans? If you archive the tournament before its tables are created, your NOW Coins are refunded.

FAQ

Who can buy the video and voice chat pass?

The tournament owner, from the Structure tab of the tournament.

How much does the pass cost?

It depends on how many players can use video:

Players with video	Price
Up to 50	250 NOW Coins
Up to 150	750 NOW Coins
Up to 300	1,500 NOW Coins
Up to 600	3,000 NOW Coins

When does the 24-hour pass start?

When the tournament’s tables are created. If you buy it after that, it starts right away.

What happens when all the seats are taken?

Players can still join video with their own plan. Players who have used up their free daily video time are asked to talk to the tournament host, and you can upgrade to a bigger tier at any time.

What if my tournament doesn’t have a pass?

Players use video and voice with their own plan: 30 minutes a day on the free plan, unlimited with Poker Now Plus.

Do spectators get video too?

Only players registered in the tournament can take a seat of the pass. Spectators use their own plan.

My tournament runs longer than 24 hours. What now?

When the pass ends, buy a new one from the Structure tab. It gives you 24 more hours with a fresh set of seats.

Can I get my NOW Coins back?

Yes, if the tournament is archived before its tables are created. Once the tables exist, the pass is in use and can’t be refunded.
