Polar Raven

A tournament only works with enough players in it. Until real numbers catch up, some seats are simulated players, entered and paid for by us, so every game still feels like a real one.

Every hand runs on the same random number generator as everyone else's. No shortcuts, no early look at an outcome, no different odds. Who's in the seat never changes how a hand plays out.

We fund every simulated entry. The fee goes into the real prize pool like any other, so a winning player takes the full pot. If a simulated player wins instead, that money goes straight back into running more tournaments, not into our pocket. As real numbers grow, we need less of it.

You'll always know which seats are simulated. A marker, every time, no exceptions.
