Poker players love to try their luck at different tournaments but are often scared of losing their buy-ins as well as stakes. Help is at hand in the form of bubble protection offered by BubbleProtection.com.
BubbleProtection.com has launched a new buy-in protection service which will help online poker players insure their tournament fees/buy-ins and stakes being lost on the bubble. Poker players are offered protection for their tournament fees as well as rakes for a modest premium. Bubble protection uses technology from poker tracking technology firm PokerProLabs.com and helps players safeguard their interest.
Thanks to this new insurance kind of protection, players will now be able to preserve their bankroll and enjoy more tournaments without any distraction of losses or long forms. BubbleProtection.com covers a new bubble, calculated at 10% of the total number of tournament entries. The bubble refers to the single or small number of positions outside the last finishing position. It is the last finishing position in a poker tournament before entering the tournament payout structure ‘in the money’.
Poker players interested in this insurance protection have to register at the site. Players then have to just type their name and select a tournament from the insured daily tournament schedule. The screen will ask whether the player wishes to purchase the protection at a premium price. Players have up to ten minutes after the start of a tournament to purchase Bubble Protection.
Bubble protection technology tracks all their members in the tournament and automatically verifies the finishing position of players. If the player finished outside the new bubble then the policy is terminated. On the other hand, if a player falls within ‘the new bubble’ the player will be credited with their tournament fee and the poker site rake fee. The site will credit accounts within 30 minutes after completion of a tournament.
Bubble Protection is available to all the players where online poker is legal and allowed. However, this service is not available to US-based players presently.
