Online casino tournaments can be a quick and fun way of achieving a big win without putting much of your bankroll at risk. The most popular variety are slots tournaments, but several casinos also offer tournaments for blackjack, casino hold'em, roulette and other table games, as well as video poker tournaments. Below we list current and upcoming casino tournaments in our live tournaments feed.
How do online casino tournaments work?
It is very simple. You enter the tournament and are then given an amount of casino chips to start with. You then have a limited amount of time to try to build the biggest chip stack by playing the tournament game. Some casino tournaments require an entry fee, but there are also many free casino tournaments, known as "freerolls". We have noted the major rule variations between casinos in the notes below the table.
Microgaming slots tournaments feature an unusual time-limited format which you may not be familiar with. So we have written this Microgaming slots tournaments guide which explains the format in detail.

Online casino tournament notes:
- Rows coloured green indicate that the casino tournament has already started. Often you can still join in!
- The Cryptologic and Microgaming casinos all have a limit on the amount of time you can play during the tournament, so use it wisely.
- All Microgaming casinos with tournaments (such as Blackjack Ballroom, All Slots, or Crazy Vegas) run scheduled tournaments for smaller prizes at all hours of the day, not all of which are listed here. They also run sit-and-go slots tournaments which start as soon as the minimum number of players have registered.
- Betsson and Tower Gaming use an "equalized payout system" to determine the winners, ignoring bet size. You don't even have to enter - simply play the nominated games with real money during tournament hours, and players are automatically ranked according to the amount won per unit wagered over their best 20 consecutive wagers.
- We don't list online casino tournaments where the winners are determined by the amount wagered over a time period, or accumulation of comp points. We feel they are not fair to all players, they may encourage irresponsible gambling, and frankly, they are just lame attempts by the casinos to encourage players to lose far more than the prize on offer.
