What is a bounty tournament?
Bounty tournaments are similar to money-added tournaments, but the money is added on to a player’s head. The tournament plays as normal until there is one player left at the end. If you’re the lucky player who knocks out the bounty you continue to play in the tournament and the bounty amount will be paid into your account when the tournament ends.
