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.

  1. Pick a night and a game. Hold'em is the easy default; mix in PLO or a bomb pot for extra action.
  2. Create a private table — set the number of seats and starting stacks.
  3. Invite everyone with one link. Drop it in the group chat; friends tap to grab a seat (you approve buy-ins as host).
  4. 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.
