PLAY-MONEY POKER GUIDE

Host a virtual poker night with friends

A good online poker night needs a shared table, a way to chat, and a plan everyone understands. Keep the first session simple with a casual play-money game.

Create a table

Play money only: no real money, no prizes, no cash-out.

How it works in 3 steps

  1. Plan the evening. Choose a start time and a voice or video call. Tell everyone the game is Texas Hold’em with play-money chips, and link the rules for newcomers.
  2. Set up the table. Enter your name, choose a game preset or customize chips, blinds, and turn time. Leave List in open tables unchecked for an invite-only gathering.
  3. Invite, check, and deal. Send the table link to your group. Give everyone time to join and review the controls before the host starts the first hand.

A useful table tip

For a mixed-experience group, allow longer turns and agree on a break time. Explain check, call, and fold before the first deal.
