An overlay instance is one scan observation of a tournament whose guaranteed prize pool exceeded collected buy-ins at that moment. Counts reflect how often each site's tournaments run short of their guarantees.

Methodology

The scanner reads publicly available lobby data (APIs and XML feeds) from each network every 30 seconds, around the clock. Overlay is computed as guaranteed prize pool minus (entrants × buy-in contribution to the prize pool) at registration close or the latest observation. Figures above are cumulative since launch, 224 days ago. No estimates, no extrapolation: every dollar counted was observed in a live lobby.

These overlays were all alerted to members in real time. 7 days free, full access, 30-day money-back guarantee.
