Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers about overlays, late registration, coverage, and terms.

What is Profitmaxxer?

Profitmaxxer is a real-time poker tournament alert service for online MTT players. It scans the lobbies of 11 poker networks every 30 seconds and sends Telegram alerts for tournaments with an overlay (extra prize money added by the site) and tournaments approaching maximum late registration, which is the highest-ROI moment to enter. It costs $99/month with a 7-day free trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

What is a poker tournament overlay?

An overlay happens when a tournament guarantees a prize pool larger than the total buy-ins collected. The poker site pays the difference out of its own pocket. Every dollar of overlay is money added to the prize pool that the players did not pay for, which raises the expected value of every entrant. Example: a $10,000 guaranteed tournament that collects only $7,000 in buy-ins has a $3,000 overlay.

What is max late registration and why does it matter?

Max late registration means entering a tournament in the final minutes before registration closes. GTO Wizard's research found that late registering a standard MTT adds roughly +9.4% ROI, because you enter with a shorter effective stack against a field that already contains dead money from busted players. In satellites the effect is larger, around +57% ROI. Profitmaxxer alerts you minutes before registration closes so you can enter at that moment.

Should you late register PKO (bounty) tournaments?

No. Progressive knockout tournaments are the exception: GTO Wizard's data shows late registering PKOs runs about -14% ROI, because arriving with a short stack makes it hard to win bounties, which carry a large share of the equity. Profitmaxxer handles PKOs differently: it sends pre-registration alerts before the tournament starts so you can play for every bounty from the first hand.

Do mystery bounty tournaments work for late registration?

Yes. Mystery bounty tournaments are strongly +EV to late register because bounties typically do not unlock until Day 2, so entering late means you miss nothing while still gaining the dead-money advantage. Profitmaxxer times mystery bounty alerts for exactly this window.

Which poker sites does Profitmaxxer cover?

Eleven networks: GGPoker, PokerStars, PokerStars.es, Americas Cardroom, 888poker, WPT Global, iPoker, CoinPoker, TigerGaming, SwC Poker, and Stake Poker. You can filter alerts to only the sites you play.

How often does Profitmaxxer scan?

Every 30 seconds, 24 hours a day, across all covered networks. In its first 112 days of operation it detected over $22 million in total overlay across more than 35,000 overlay instances in about 6,900 unique tournaments. Current numbers are on the live stats page.

How do I receive alerts and can I filter them?

Alerts arrive as Telegram push notifications. Each alert includes the exact +EV calculation per entry. Filters cover buy-in range, minimum overlay percentage, PKO pre-registration timing, satellite toggles, tournament speed, currency, and per-site alert windows. You can also type what you want in plain English and the settings adjust.

How much does Profitmaxxer cost?

$99 per month, locked in for life while you stay subscribed. There is a 7-day free trial with full access and no limits. Membership is hard-capped at 50 players to protect the edge.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

Yes. If you do not find overlays and max late reg opportunities worth more than your subscription in the first 30 days, every cent is refunded. No questions asked.

Is Profitmaxxer against poker site terms of service?
