The time bank is exactly as it sounds – a bank of time. Essentially it allows you extra time when those hard decisions are forced upon you.

In tournament games, the time bank is set at a certain amount depending on the type of tournament. When a player wants to use the time in their time bank, they must activate it by clicking on the button located just above the bet slider bar. You are able to activate the time bank once your assigned time is almost out; it then pops up next to your player box displaying how many seconds you have. Once you play your hand, any remaining time is saved for the next time you wish to use the feature.

This is the same for ring games; however ring games allow players to constantly accumulate time in their time bank as they play up until the maximum time has been accumulated.
