Blinds level - poker term used to reflect on big and small blind sizes in a certain tournament in a current moment.

In multi-table tournaments blinds level increases after a certain period of time (usually around 10-15 minutes). Each tournament has its own blinds increasing structure which can be seen in the lobby of the tournament.

Blinds level usually increase every 5 minutes in turbo tournaments. In standard structure tournaments the intervals between the increases in the size of the blinds is 10-15 minutes. Tournaments with big stacks and deep structure have even longer intervals between the blinds increase - 20 minutes and more.

Blinds levels are made for the tournaments not to be too tightened in time.
