Are online poker tournaments profitable, and how do I get started?

It depends on how good of a poker player you are, and also at which poker sites you can play from your location but they are for sure profitable if you put the volume in.

They certainly can be! Many kinds of tournament games are available, some pay final top ranks, and some pay immediately upon claiming a player's bounty by knocking them out of the game, and some pay both - top ranks & bounty percentages!

Have fun!
