NO LIMIT AND POT LIMIT HOLD'EM PRIVATE TABLES

All our real money players have the option to create Private Tables, so that they can play exclusively with their friends. These private tables will be password protected, and can only be viewed or accessed with the password assigned to this table. To create your own private table, just follow these simple steps:

1) On the Lobby, click on the Options menu.

2) Select the Create Private Table option.

3) Choose the type of game and the stakes for the table, and assign a password to the table.

4) Join your table, which will be displayed on the table list in the Lobby.

5) Give your password to your friends, so that they can join you and enjoy the games.

6) You can create private tables on Limit, No Limit as well as Pot Limit Hold’em tables. Stakes available on Limit tables are 0.5/1, 3/6, 5/10, 10/20, 1/2, 15/30. For No Limit as well as Pot Limit Hold'em tables you will be able to choose between the following stakes:

A) $25

B) $50

C) $100

D) $200

Private tables can be created only in Live Games; players cannot create a private tournament. Players are allowed to create only one private table at a time. Once, the private table is created it will stays for 10 consecutive minutes (600 seconds)for players to join.

More Info on Tournaments
To make sure you always have the most up-to-the-minute tournament information, we've added an extra feature in our tournament lobby. In the bottom right-hand corner, you will now find a "More Info" button that will take you directly to our tournament details page.

Your seat will never be taken again...
Have you ever tried to sit down at a table during busy times, only to find the seat has already been taken, after you have filled out the "buy-in information"? Well, this won’t happen again. From now on, whenever you click to take a seat, that particular seat will show to others as taken. You will then have 15 seconds to fill in the required information, after which the seat will no longer be reserved for you.

If you have any questions, please contact our 24/7 Customer Care Team.
