A brief history

We would like to remind our readers about the brief history of online tournaments and just how it all started.

The year was 1998 and the owner of the now closed Planet Poker cardroom came to the idea of hosting an online tournament in Texas Hold ‘em Poker. After several weeks and months of planning and preparation, more precisely in February 1998, the world witnessed the first – ever tournament which changed the game forever and became a major milestone in the history of online gaming.

Although in its infancy, this event amassed a large crowd flocking from around the globe that at the time were using dial – up internet access. Of course, many technical difficulties followed but as the time moved forward a more recognizable structure was taking shape.

In the following years, many such events took place which further perfected the formula and established tournaments as a must have feature in the casino’s repertoire.

Nowadays, online tourneys have become a sort of a staple across the market and you will rarely see a platform that doesn’t host them.

But why is that?

Online gaming hubs have realized the ever – growing potential of such events as means of gathering a bigger player base and securing a lot more traffic than before.

The truth is that competing is a trait which humans have possessed since the dawn of time and bettering others is always a rewarding feeling, when you add a great prize pool and other goodies on top of that, you have a win – win combination.

Tournaments: Types and which to choose?

If you scrolled down this page you might have come to a certain list which consists of various sections, different - colored symbols and buttons, so you are wondering what to do next.

First things first

Since this is an article made especially for the clients coming from America, the country and the tourneys relevant to it will be set by default to the US, but you will have an option of adjusting it to your liking by changing the filter on the lower left portion of the page.

Different types

These events generally revolve around different classes of games such as slots, poker, roulette, blackjack or other.

Of course, depending on the game that the particular tourney is based upon, the rules may differ, for example:

The goal of the Poker tournaments is to better other players around the table and win the pot, on the other hand, slot tournaments come with a different set of rules entirely and unlike the card games they can vary enormously in the way they work.

A general rule of thumb is to pick what category suits your play style the best and start from there, or if you feel lucky try other things you are not comfortable with and see if you have what it takes, but keep in mind that you will be competing against more experienced players.

Now, the trophies

You might have realized that certain events come with different symbols, mainly silver and golden trophies. So, now will be a good time to realize the difference between the two:

• Silver trophy – this symbol signifies that this is a standard online casino tourney.
• Golden trophy – marks the Exclusive LCB Tournament.

Going the Golden Route

The LCB community often organizes exclusive contests with well – renowned online casinos and the main reason behind these kinds of collaborations is to offer the community something special and present a more unique experience than the regular tourneys have at disposal.

If you wish to take this exclusive path, here are some guidelines you must meet and things you need to know in order to qualify:

• Every participant needs to be a member of the LCB site
• You will need to be on good terms with the casino that hosts the tournament.

No matter which route you choose, it is always a good thing to understand the specific rules of each tournament and we always like to advise our readers to check out the T&C of the casino hosting them, before opting to take part in any kind of event.

Now will be a great opportunity to join our amazing community, if you haven’t already. Having registered an account will offer you many perks, such as an insight in all of the important information and rules about each event such as buy – ins, wagering requirements, country eligibility and other relevant details.

The most important advantage of having an account is certainly access to exclusive LCB links and passwords which will be needed for joining into certain tournaments.

Entry fees

This is certainly one of the more important distinctions you will need to learn before choosing which tournament to take part in.

Participation is often divided in two different ways:

• Fee is required
• Freeroll (no fee)…

…you might be wondering why even choose, it is always a good thing if you can get something for free, right?

In all honesty it is a great thing if you don't have to pay your way in the tourney and test your skills with no strings attached. Who knows you maybe even take home the prize.

But take this in consideration, most of these freerolls often don’t have much to offer, mainly their prize pools are much lower than the one where the buy – in fee is required.

We will let you in on a little secret…

…in some instances you can use loyalty points to cover the buy-in fee, so you can have the best from both worlds.

Otherwise if you are full on buy – in tournament guy, it is good to know that there is always a rebuy option which you can use once the fee is spent but you want to keep going.

What about the Rules

We have come to the most important section of this article and understanding the rules of each tournament is crucial before taking part.

As we already mentioned, there are several tournament mods such as slot, roulette, blackjack, poker, to name a few and each of the mentioned ones come with their distinct set of rules, so you will need to adjust your strategy accordingly.

For example is the particular slot tournament scheduled or buy-in and require advance registration, which often involves a fee, is it Free or Sit and Go competition which allow fresh punters to take part, are you even eligible, etc.

Understanding these requirements is always important beforehand, as well as checking the availability of games, because sometimes the events are limited to one software provider or small selection of titles.

We also strongly advise in taking a closer look in the casino’s T&C and checking out if the platform is compliant with USA Gambling regulations.

If you make these kinds of preparations before entering any online competitor, you are certainly setting yourself on strong foundations and a few steps closer to victory.
