How it works

Game night in three easy steps

No cards to shuffle, no scores to keep, and nobody stuck being the dealer all night.

  1. 1

    Open the page

    Head to Poker Pals in any browser — it runs right there — and pick a pal to play as. You'll be at a table in under a minute.

  2. 2

    Invite friends with a code

    Create a private table and drop your six-letter code in the group chat. Friends tap it and — boom — they're seated.

  3. 3

    Deal, chat & laugh

    Play a few hands, throw emoji at the big moments and crown the night's champ. Rematch? Obviously.
