What are Pokerstars T$ W$? |
Poker Tournament Dollars (T$)As the world's largest online poker tournament site, PokerStars is proud to offer a unique Tournament Dollar system. When you qualify to any event through a satellite (excluding the W Dollars events discussed below), you have the option to unregister from the target event and receive Tournament Dollars. These Tournament Dollars can be used to register in any other PokerStars tournament, including Sit & Gos, and satellites. If you win multiple seats to the same target event, the value of these seats will be automatically credited to your Tournament Dollar account. Tournament Dollars differ from real money, because they cannot be used in real money games - only for buying into poker tournaments. Many events will not allow you to unregister until one hour prior to the event. In that case, you may email PokerStars support at \n This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
