What does a misdeal mean?
On rare occasions due to a technical issue on our end, a hand will not be able to be completed. In these instances, the hand will be declared a misdeal and ‘Misdeal’ will be displayed across the table. The hand will then be redealt.
How long do I have to reconnect and get back in the hand after I’ve been disconnected?
If you were disconnected while playing in a game and you reconnect within 35 seconds, you will be able to act on your hand. In fixed-limit cash games, if you do not re-connect before your time bank expires; your hand will be treated as if you went all in. However, to avoid abuse of this system, this courtesy is limited per player.
What happens in event of a server interruption on Black Chip Poker?
Extensive preventative precautions have been taken, however, 100% reliability remains impossible. In the unlikely event of a server crash, all player account information in a tournament reverts back to the end of the last completed hand. For Ring Games, all hands in progress will be cancelled and your balance will revert to the last completed hand.
In the event the software has a technical issue that is resolved in less than 2 hours, the tournament is resumed normally. If the software has a technical issue that lasts longer than 2 hours, the tournament will be cancelled.
The tournament team reserves the right to cancel the tournament before the maximum 2 hour allotted time if it is determined that it will be impossible to resolve the issue within the 2 hours. For more information about our Tournament Cancellation rules, click here.
