Tournaments - Qualifying
We reserve the right to use other means to resolve cancelled tournaments. However, the above is our guiding policy. By playing on this site, you acknowledge that you may be disconnected for reasons beyond your or our control and that may lead to a loss of your points buy-in, the chips you have accrued in the tournament and/or your position in the tournament’s ranking. You may be in the process of winning a large pot when a tournament is cancelled only to have that tournament resume with an earlier chip count or even restart from the beginning. You also acknowledge that you may be involved in a tournament where you are the clear chip leader and receive the same refund as a player with many fewer chips.
Passwords are no longer used in the new version of our software. If a tournament has a certain qualification criteria, such as the Girls All-In or the Senior Tournaments, you will be able to register simply by clicking the Register button only if the data you supplied in your registration match the tournament registration criteria.

To report chat violations in the Community Chat rooms or at the poker tables use the Report Profanity link.

All claims will be thoroughly investigated; Knockout reserves the right to determine a course of action appropriate to the offense; all decisions are binding.

Collusion - Collusion is a form of cheating in which two or more players signal their holdings or otherwise form a cheating partnership to the detriment of the other players at the same table. While on one hand it is easier to pass information between colluding players in online poker than it is in brick & mortar rooms, it is much more difficult to avoid eventual detection as the cards for all players can be examined after the play. 9.
