$Tickets are cash-equivalent at this site: 1 $Ticket = $1 USD. You can use $Tickets to play games or tournaments for cash. Just as in real land-based tournaments, players pay an entry fee to participate. Entry fees range from 50 cents to $200. A winner collects a prize based on the total tournament prize-pot consisting of entry fees.

Playing a $Ticket mini-tourney is the easiest way to start playing games for real money. Mini-tourneys are fast-paced 2-player tournaments in the games of skill that you can play in all of the playing rooms. If you play free games in backgammon or gin rummy, for example, you can also try to play them for $Tickets. Just select playing for $Tickets in Table Creation Dialog and choose your stake for the game.
