In more detail, an Add-On allows players to buy extra chips regardless of the size of their current stack. It’s typically offered at the end of the rebuy period in a rebuy tournament. Unlike a rebuy, players can purchase an Add-On even if they have a large chip stack. This option is often used to increase a player’s chances as the tournament progresses, giving them a competitive edge with more chips.
Add-On Example
For example, in a tournament that offers an Add-On after the first hour of play, all players are allowed to buy an additional set of chips, whether they are low or high on chips at the time.
