Straight answers about overlays, late registration, coverage, and terms.
Profitmaxxer is a real-time poker tournament alert service for online MTT players. It scans the lobbies of 12 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.
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.
Max late registration means entering a tournament in the final minutes before registration closes. GTO Wizard's ICM analysis found that late registering a standard MTT makes your seat worth about 10.9% more than the buy-in, 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, about 29.76% more. Profitmaxxer alerts you minutes before registration closes so you can enter at that moment.
No. Progressive knockout tournaments are the exception: GTO Wizard's data shows a late PKO starting stack loses about 14% of its value, 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.
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.
Twelve networks: GGPoker, PokerStars, PokerStars.es, Americas Cardroom, 888poker, WPT Global, iPoker, CoinPoker, TigerGaming, SwC Poker, Stake Poker, and QQPK. You can filter alerts to only the sites you play.
Every 30 seconds, 24 hours a day, across all covered networks. To date Profitmaxxer has detected over $42.1 million in total overlay across 70,127 overlay instances and 12,273 unique tournaments in 180 days of scanning. Current numbers are on the live stats page.
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.
$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.
Yes. The bar is not breaking even. The scanner catches hundreds of overlays a day and the average one is worth more than a month of the service. If your first 30 days of alerts do not show you overlays and max late reg opportunities worth several times the subscription, every cent is refunded. No questions asked.
Profitmaxxer reads publicly available lobby data such as APIs and XML feeds. No bots play hands, nothing is injected into a poker client, and it does not interact with the games themselves. It is an information service, similar to reading the lobby very quickly, everywhere, at once.

Profitmaxxer scans the tournament lobbies of 12 poker networks every 30 seconds and sends a Telegram alert the moment a tournament's guaranteed prize pool exceeds the buy-ins collected, which is an overlay. Each alert shows the overlay amount and the added expected value per entry, so you decide whether to register. It also flags tournaments approaching maximum late registration. There is a 7-day free trial.
Overlays appear and close within minutes as players register, so you need something watching the lobbies continuously. Profitmaxxer checks 12 networks every 30 seconds around the clock and pushes a Telegram notification with the tournament, the overlay size, and the per-entry expected value. You can filter by site, buy-in range, and minimum overlay percentage so you only see the ones that fit your bankroll.
Profitmaxxer sends a max late registration alert in the final minutes before registration closes. GTO Wizard's ICM analysis puts a standard MTT late seat at about 10.9% more than the buy-in and a satellite seat at about 29.76% more. Progressive knockouts are the exception, where a late starting stack loses about 14% of its value, so Profitmaxxer sends pre-registration alerts for PKOs instead.
Watching every lobby by hand is not practical, since 200 or more tournaments can run across several networks at any moment. Profitmaxxer scans 12 networks every 30 seconds and surfaces the events carrying an overlay, along with satellites and mystery bounties in their most +EV windows. Filters narrow the feed to your sites, stakes, and formats.
By hand you would need to watch four or more lobbies covering 200-plus tournaments for most of the day, and overlays open and close in minutes while you are busy playing your own tables. Profitmaxxer reads all 12 networks every 30 seconds and only interrupts you when there is an overlay or a max late registration window that matches your filters. It reads publicly available lobby data and never plays hands.
