The week at a glance

The starts in UTC. WePlay publishes its schedule in GMT+2, two hours ahead of UTC, and Basepoker keeps its clock in UTC; when a lobby shows something different, the lobby is right.

Cheaper ways in

Several specials can be reached for a fraction of the buy-in. On WePlay a $4.40 satellite at 15:00 UTC on Tuesday pays $44 seats to the Eliminator, and a $5.50 satellite at 15:00 UTC on Sunday pays $55 seats to the Sunday Showdown.

Every day WePlay also runs three ticket satellites, $1.10 for an $11 ticket at 10:00 UTC, $2.20 for a $22 ticket at 12:00 UTC and $3.30 for a $33 ticket at 14:00 UTC, and three free ticket freerolls half an hour after each, which pay $1.10, $2.20 and $3.30 tickets.

On Basepoker the $2,000 Weekly Freeroll is entered with a ticket from the Daily Freerolls at 02:00 and 14:00 UTC, and freeroll steps through the evening lead into the $500 Daily Main Event.

A satellite asks for a different plan from the tournament it feeds: in most of them every seat pays the same, so survival is worth more than chips. Our satellite strategy has it in plain words, and the bounty calculator helps with the knockouts once you are in.

Every start, tonight

The specials are the big dishes. The Daily Grind, the Bounty Blitz, the Daily Turbo and the Rebuy Rush run every evening with guarantees of their own, and Basepoker fills its evening with Standards, Turbos and Hypers. Tonight's menu lists every start of the next 24 hours, and WePlay's promotions and Basepoker's races have the rest.

Questions about the specials

Which day has the most guaranteed prize money on WePlay?

Sunday, with $23,575 across the day, the $10,000 Sunday Showdown included. Tuesday comes next with $13,525, the Eliminator's $5,000 included.

What is a progressive knockout?

A tournament where every player carries a bounty. When you knock a player out, part of their bounty is paid to you at once and the rest is added to your own bounty, so a player who wins knockouts carries a bigger prize on their head.

How do I get to Rozvadov through WePlay?

WePlay runs a ladder of qualifiers to the SZTOS Millions festival at King's Resort in Rozvadov, from 7 to 14 December 2026, where the Main Event costs €185 and guarantees €300,000. Freerolls pay $1 steps, the $1 steps pay $6.60 steps, and the steps lead to the package satellites. One package per player.

When does Basepoker pay its races?

At each reset: the $1,000 Daily Race at 00:00 UTC every day, the $10,000 Weekly Race at 00:00 UTC on Sunday and the $50,000 Monthly Race at 00:00 UTC on the 1st. Points come from poker and the casino, every player is in, and the prizes are paid in USDT.
