Late registration is great for those who sometimes lose track of time and enables you to get involved in a tournament even after the tournament has already begun.

bwin.es offers some tournaments with late registration up to 6 levels into the tournament, with late registration remaining open even if some players have been knocked out.

Synchronized breaks begin at 55 minutes past every hour for five minutes. The five-minute break will begin when all hands for each tournament end, For example, if a tournament starts at 21:10 (GMT +2), the tournament clock will stop at 21:55 (GMT +2) but all hands currently being played must be completed before the break actually begins. The tournament break counter then ticks down for five minutes and the tournament again resumes as soon as the five minutes elapses. The next Synchronized Break will take place at 22:55 (GMT +2).

The concept of synchronized breaks allows you to play more than one Multi-Table Tournament by providing that valuable break every hour across all tournaments.

Synchronized breaks will not happen in the following instances:

• If Turbo tournaments haven’t yet passed the first two blind levels
• If the tournament hasn’t yet passed the first blind level
• If tournaments are running but still open for registration

Please note the following when taking part in rebuy or add-on tournaments:

• In the cases of rebuy and add-on tournaments, there will be a one-minute break after the rebuy period for add-ons.
• In the cases of rebuy tournaments without any add-ons, there will be a 30 second break at the end of the rebuy period for anyone to make final rebuys.

Now you can take advantage of the breaks during your extended tournament session. Even when you're playing in more than one Multi-Table Tournament, synchronized breaks will let you take time out without missing any of the action.

bwin.es is using Tournament Euro (T€). If you win multiple entries to tournaments, any extra entries will be exchanged for Tournament Euro which you can use to buy-in to any real- money or Sit & Go tournaments (Except Heads-up STTs).

A heads-up tournament consists of tables with two players per table. The players on each table play against each other (heads up) until a there is a winner. The winners then progress to further rounds to play more games until there is an overall winner.

Players will be able to finish their hands on all tables but will then be sat out across the board.
