If you are disconnected, and therefore unable to act on your hand while having chips invested in the pot in a ring game, you may be given extra time to reconnect.

While each user is responsible for his or her own Internet connection, we make an effort to protect players who are disconnected during a hand or final stages of a tournament (with a buy-in), by allowing you time to reconnect, known as Disconnect Extra Time (DET).

In Tournaments, the amount of DET provided depends on the size of the Total Pot. DET only applies in the case of ITM; therefore it does not apply in Satellites.

For Cash Games, players will receive a total of 120 seconds to reconnect from when they are disconnected unless stated otherwise.

Players may receive an additional 10 seconds for every 30 hands played after a successful reconnect.

*DET is not offered in All-In or Fold games and during Flip & Go (Flip Stage).
*DET is offered for Flip & Go (Go Stage) and Battle Royale games.
*Please note that the additional time given may vary at different blinds.
