🏆 Sit-n-Go Tournament Formats

Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve been testing out new Sit-n-Go tournament formats such as Turbo Tuesday.

We’re loving the community’s excitement around these. We’ll be hosting routine Tournament Mode events each week — and we’ve got more formats on the way!

Here’s the schedule for the upcoming week:

October 11 — Turbo Tuesday (2 min blinds)
October 12 — Super Shine Wednesday (9 Shine entry)

Each event starts at 1pm EST and will run for 24 hours.

Stay tuned to our Twitter and Discord for more tournament event announcements.

🤣 ICE Poker Emojis

One of the ways we’re working on delivering a more social gameplay experience is by adding ICE Poker Flex emojis.

These emojis and phrases will pop up next to your avatar at the table.

There’ll be default emojis available to everyone, and we’ll also have exclusive emojis you can buy with $ICE or unlock through a player leveling system.

Got suggestions for an emoji? Drop a comment on this Twitter thread.

🤝 RSOP Partnership

This week, we announced a Tournament wearable partnership with Royal Society of Players (RSOP).

The RSOP community received custom ICE Poker Tournament wearables loaded with 9 Shine to instantly start playing Tournament Mode.

RSOP

Royal Society of Players is an exclusive membership-based global community delivering the highest levels of utility, rewards, and experiences.

Owning one of the 10,000 hand-made NFT playing cards provides access to their social club and incredible opportunities across entertainment, networking, mentorship, and world-class art.
