How to
play free poker
At our free tables, all that is at stake is play money, and you can
always get more chips when you run out! Thousands of players try out our play money
tournaments and ring games every day, as it’s the perfect way to learn the game and
refine your online strategy. To get started, download our free poker software and
create a new Stars Account now - it only takes a couple of minutes. Choose your
username (which will be your nickname at the tables), select a password and confirm
your email address. Once your registration is complete, you will receive virtual play
money chips to join our free games. There are two main types of online poker game: ring
games and tournaments. Ring games are the ‘classic’ type of game than can be joined,
and left, at any time. Players can choose how much of their real or virtual funds -
known as their bankroll - to bring to the table, and are free to top-up or buy-in again
if they lose their chips (and have more in reserve). Tournaments start at a specific
time, or when a certain amount of players have registered, and usually require a
one-off buy-in to play. Players who lose all their chips in a tournament are knocked
out, until there is just one winner remaining. The combined prize pool of all the
players’ buy-ins is shared between the players who last the longest, with the winner
receiving the greatest share. To try our free games, open the software, and select the
‘Play Money’ option. Then simply choose the game you want to play. If you run out of
play money chips, take a seat at a ring game table and you’ll receive a free
top-up.
Real money and play money
There are plenty of options and games available when
playing with play money, and if you wish to play for real money, you can deposit funds
into your account and take advantage of our first deposit offer. To see your current
balance, of both real and play money, just open the ‘Cashier’. We offer a huge range of
different poker games and tournament formats in both free and real money variants. Once
you’re comfortable with how the games work, you can also try our fast-paced Zoom
tables, available in both real and play money versions. By playing at our play money
tables, you’ll get a feel for everything we have to offer, as most of the special
features at our regular tables are available at our free tables too. And don’t forget
that however experienced you are, you can always learn, practice and improve with our
free Poker School.
