Sites for playing poker

Do you have some free time, would you like to spend it playing poker on the Internet but don’t want (or can’t) install new programs on your PC? Are you looking for an easy way to create an online poker game with friends, without having to go crazy between servers and connections that don’t work?

If this is your need at the moment, know that I am here to help you! In the course of this guide, in fact, I will show you some of the best poker sites available at the moment. In particular, I will list the portals dedicated to free gaming, those dedicated to playing with real money and those dedicated to playing with friends, without neglecting the apps for smartphones and tablets. Fun is guaranteed!

Before continuing, however, I believe it is necessary to clarify a fundamental aspect of the question: the game of poker and, in general, gambling, can cause pathological addiction and lead to serious negative consequences on a personal, social and economic level. Therefore, I invite you to play with conscience and moderation and, if you intend to do it with real money, only if you are over 18 years old. It is not my intention to encourage unauthorized gambling activities, due to a minor age or pre-existing pathological conditions. Clear? Well, then let’s proceed.

Sites to play free online poker

The sites to play free online poker are so many: now I point out some of the best. Most of them require registration and offer a quantity of free chips which is usually increased on a daily basis.

World Series of Poker

The first of the online poker sites I want to tell you about is World Series of Poker (WSOP). This portal allows you to participate in Texas Hold’em or Omaha poker tables with players from all over the world, without spending a single euro, thanks to a set of free chips that are obtained upon registration.

So, to start, connected to the website in question , click on the Play Now button and choose whether to subscribe via Facebook , Google or email , using the buttons that are proposed to you. In the latter case you will need to indicate a valid e-mail address , which will allow you to access the service, together with a password to use to protect your account.

Once the login is complete, click on the Accept button , to accept the terms of use of the service, and click on the type of poker you prefer ( Hold’em or Omaha ); now, to access the table, click on the OK and Select buttons , then indicate the amount of chips to bring to the table ( buy-in ).

Please note that WSOP is providing 750,000 chips for free and these can be unlocked via daily bonuses, waiting for an in-game reload, or can be purchased for real money. In any case, having defined the value of the initial investment, click on the Buy-In button to access the table and start playing immediately. That’s all!

Sites for playing poker for real money

In the field of legal gaming, there are several sites to play poker for real money , mainly managed and sponsored by big names in the betting or live gaming sector. Before listing those that, in my opinion, represent the most valid alternatives, I renew my invitation to gamble responsibly and only if you are of age : gambling can be addictive and must always be practiced wisely. Never forget it!

Sisal

The Sisal portal , the leading Italian company in the management of paid games, allows you to play online poker for real money, without downloading any software. Clearly, to take advantage of the platform, it is essential to be at least 18 years old ; as things currently stand, on Sisal.it it is possible to play the Omaha and Texas Hold’em variants , on three different table modes: tournament , twister and cash ( more info here ).

Poker Now

Poker Now is a site that allows you to create a poker room in just a couple of clicks, without having to register or spend any money. After creating the virtual table, simply send the invitation link to your friends to allow them to join.

You ask me how to use it? It’s that easy. To start, connect to the Poker Now website and, using the left part of the screen that is proposed to you, indicate the poker variant to play ( Texas Hold’em , Omaha hi or Omaha hi / low ), indicate your nickname and specify whether or not to use cents, the value of the small and large blind and the amount of virtual currency to invest, using the Use cents boxes ? , Small Blind , Big Blind and Your Stack .
