Is there a website that you can set up a Private table for you and your friends to play on for play money. I would love to set up a game for my mom and her poker friends from the senior citizen center. They could play tourney style and just pay money after it’s all over.

Anyone on here wanna play a game. If we get enough players it could be fun.

It sucks so bad that we can’t play on sites like PokerStars. Would love to be able to play some online poker again. A bit more on topic, it’s not a website but an app called pokerbros. I haven’t used it but got invited to play with friends last weekend.

Play money. And then we settle payment outside of the app.

From poker stars main lobby, click “home games” and create a poker club. The site will give you a club # and then you make a password. Give your friends/family those two things and they will click home games and join poker club. Soon as they’re in, you can create tournaments and they can register.
Fyi-the site requires a minimum “buy-in” of 20k in free chips for every tournament. Think everyone is gifted 50k in free chips and you can “add” 15k in free chips every 3 hours. If anyone needs to add more, it cost like 3 bucks for about 750k in free chips so not a big deal if anyone runs out of free chips.

It's weird poker sites are not allowed in the US yet, especially since online gambling is starting to open up in a lot of states.

It’s funny, the only friends of mine that can’t join our poker games are the ones that live in states where online poker is legal: PA and WA

So they can only play the real money version of poker stars but can’t play the “free” version with fake chips. Makes no sense lol

One of them did find a work around though.

Which part? You can only play it on windows pc or Mac you can’t use it on your phone to play in a group. Doesn’t work with google chrome either. I didn’t include Mac in my previous statement if that’s what u meant. I meant to.

Yeah the Mac part.
They do have an app I heard. Said if you create an account from a web browser than you can use the app to play. But idk if that’s true or not.
