How Tournament Buy-Ins, Chips & Leaderboards Work

To keep the focus on social offline poker, all tournaments at The Marble Parlour use buy-ins collected in points or chips only. Tournament chips represent your starting stack and are used exclusively for play within the event and season-long leaderboard recognition.

Buy-Ins & Tournament Chips

Points and chips, not monetary rewards

  • Each event specifies a buy-in measured in entry points or chips
  • On registration, players receive their tournament chip stack
  • Chips are used exclusively on the felt for that tournament
  • No monetary payouts are ever made – events are strictly social

Rebuys, add-ons and late registration (where offered) are also handled in points or chips only and are fully explained by the tournament director before play commences.

Tournament Prizes & Leaderboards

Celebrating chip leaders and season standouts

  • Chip leader trophies for featured events and series finales
  • Leaderboard points for finishes across the season
  • Exclusive invitations to championship and high roller events
  • In-room recognition for standout tournament performances

Leaderboards spotlight consistent offline play, with points awarded based on finishing position, event field size and format. High-performing players are invited to special championship nights and curated high roller experiences.
