How satellites work: win a real seat for a fraction
One table, up to nine players, winner takes the seat. Here’s the whole model in three minutes.
A satellite is a tournament where the prize isn’t cash — it’s a seat in a bigger, live event. Play a single table of up to nine players, outlast them, and the seat is yours.
Because you’re playing for a seat rather than a payout, a small buy-in can be worth a lot. A seat at a real Main Event costs a fraction of its face value to chase — winner-take-all, no bubble, no deal-making.
No seat ever fires before its table funds it. Until enough players commit to cover the seat, every buy-in is held and fully refundable. There is no overlay, ever — the house never covers a shortfall.
Your seat is one satellite away.
