It's social online poker. Play with your friends, not random Internet donkeys! Host private online poker games: you set the stakes, you choose the rules! Integrated TableTalk VoIP voice chat—talk while you play! Play cash games, tournaments (up to 90 players), and sit & go's; Choose from Texas Hold'em, Omaha., even Dealer's Choice!

We often get suggestions for private tables so that groups of friends can play poker together without the risk of other players interrupting their game. As a poker site eager to listen to feedback, we are keen to provide as many features as we can to make our players happy. We're considering adding this option in the future, but we don't currently have a way for people to play in private games.
We do have plenty of ways for you to sit at the table with friends to enjoy some poker. It can be as easy as having them meet up in a Sit and Go!
Ring games
If you're looking for a ring game, then you don't need to join the waiting list for a game that's already running. There are unlimited empty tables where you can all join a game together without waiting at all.
That said, if you don't have the exact number of players to fill the table, you may find that one or more seats is open and eventually gets occupied by someone you don't know. In this situation, we ask that you carry on playing however you were before, but be aware that the new player may not realize that they stumbled into a game between friends.
Tournaments
If you and your friends want a tournament with just yourselves, why not try a Sit and Go (SnG)? SnGs start when a set number of players register. Replay has 2, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 18-seat SnGs with entry fees of 1,000 and less, and empty ones can easily be found and filled in the SnG Lobby.
Up for a multi-table tournament (MTT)? There are a number of scheduled tournaments starting every 15 minutes. Even if you miss the start of one, there is usually a late registration period where you can join in.
Replay Poker also runs freerolls every hour. Like their name implies, freerolls are free to play. With a variety of game variants, you might discover a poker format you've never played before.
The freeroll every fourth hour is the New Player Freeroll and open only to new accounts. If you are new to Replay, why not check it out to learn along with other newbies?
Leagues
You may have heard about our player-run leagues, and read about them in the Replay Poker forum. You can view the policies and rules all leagues must follow in our forum thread right here.
The only league games we can provide right now are scheduled multi-table tournaments. Sit and Go and ring game tables are not available.
You can find leagues by clicking on your avatar in the upper right hand corner to find the following drop-down menu:
These leagues have been established by groups of regular players with large circles of friends they have made on Replay Poker. They are managed to a large degree by player-nominated league owners or Primary League Members. These players got together and found that they want to play a certain game at a certain time each week.
Managing and running a league like this takes up a great deal of time and effort. It involves keeping in regular contact with league members via the forum and private messaging. This is why we only accept new league requests from accounts who are:
- Fairly well-established on Replay Poker
- Have a network of friends interested in playing regularly
- Have a good idea what games they want to play
If you and some friends have recently found Replay and want to have some tables to yourselves, we are more than happy to help you as best we can, but for the time being we can only offer regular Lobby games.
We're deep into lockdown and we don't know when it it's going to end. There's a chance this might be going on for a long time, so it's best to make contingency plans. One of the best ways to make Saturday night really feel like Saturday night is to play online poker with friends online.
You would think in the age of 3-D printers and instant communication that playing poker with friends over the internet would be easy. But it is surprisingly difficult, thanks in large part to America shutting down the bulk of the online poker industry a few years ago. We've just about hacked it, and here's our tips on playing online poker with your friends.
Before we get into it, let us just establish that this post is intended for casual players looking for a bit of poker and a bit of conversation, who want to play in the easiest and quickest format. We're pointing you towards online poker options that are free and next to no cash outlay. Poker is fun game when played amongst friends and we don't at all advise getting involved in the murky world on 'online poker'. All of these games are perfect with Zoom/Skype/Google Hangouts on a second screen.

Poker Stars
Game notes: Poker Stars is one of the biggest online poker sites in the world. After downloading their software, you set up a 'home game' via a league that can host your private game and invite mates. Here's a step-by-step guide to that process.
Set up difficulty: Easy to medium. You'll have to install the PokerStars software in order to play, and that involves creating logins, verifying emails etc. I know people have had varying degrees of success creating the home game/private game. Many Balls.ie readers recommend it, this humble writer and his friends couldn't get it to work. If you do get it working, it's brilliant online poker software.
PokerNow.Club
Game notes: The perfect resource for casual players. This is no frills poker. Game play is easy and minimal and there's a chat function.
Set up difficulty: Piss easy. Nothing is required to get this off the ground. You don't have to download anything. You get a table and send an invite link to friends and the game takes care of itself. Because of its simplicity the game has seen a massive spike in popularity over the last month, to the point that it can be very hard to get a table on a weekend evening. Make this your first port of call.
Blockchain.Poker
Game notes: Basically a crypto version of the Pokernow game. You start with some crytpo coinage and have the option to play at private tables or with strangers.
Set up difficulty: Easy to medium. There's nothing to download, which is great. However, the front design isn't mindblowing and connecting via the private table proved tricky for me and my mates. Maybe you'll have better luck. It definitely doesn't have the popularity issues of PokerNow. If you do spend your free money, you'll have to purchase crypto currency to top up again.
Poker Face
Game notes: This is a fun app that mixes video and poker in the one place.
Set up difficulty: Easy to medium. It's a tablet or app version, which takes the desktop element out of it.
Prominence Poker
Game notes: Prominence Poker is an old Xbox game that you can download for free over the gaming network Steam. You create a character and can play with your friends in private games. To play with friends, just set up a private game and invite your Steam buddies.
Set up difficulty: Medium to hard. First you need to download Steam, then you need to download the game, then you need to create you character and do a few demos to build cash. You'd want to really enjoy gaming to opt for this set-up. While the graphics are cool and the poker venues are enjoyable, it's perhaps needlessly complicated for a casual Saturday night game. Also, you need to put €5 in your Steam account to connect to friends and this game is not compliant with Macs, which might rule your cool friends out.
Pokrrrr/Zynga/Pokerbros/etc
Game notes: There are hundreds of online poker apps run by gambling companies that claim to let you play poker with friends. In our experience, these were all painful to navigate and involved a cash outlay at some stage
How.play.virtual.poker.with Friends
Set up difficulty: Hard to impossible.
