How to host a poker night (online & free)
Hosting a poker night doesn't need chips, cards, or everyone in one room. Here's how to run a fun home game online in a few minutes with BombPot — free, no signup, play-money only.
- Pick a night and a game. Hold'em is the easy default; mix in PLO or a bomb pot for extra action.
- Create a private table — set the number of seats and starting stacks.
- Invite everyone with one link. Drop it in the group chat; friends tap to grab a seat (you approve buy-ins as host).
- Run the game. Deal, play, and use host controls to manage the table. When you're done, end the game to see final standings and an easy settle-up summary.
Host tips: agree on stakes as play-money units up front, keep it to friends you know, and use the built-in chat to keep the banter going. Everything is play-money — settle however your group likes, off-platform.
