How it works in 3 steps
- Check the game you need. This app supports Texas Hold’em with two to nine seats, casual tables and tournaments. If your group needs other variants or a larger table, check those needs before choosing a service.
- Try before inviting everyone. Create a table and play a practice hand with a bot. Check the turn timer, blinds and controls on the device you plan to use.
- Send one table link. Friends join with display names. Keep a separate voice or video call open if you want conversation, and explain that every chip is a point with no cash value.
