Ever wished you could set up an online poker club just for you and your friends? Well, with Poker Home Games from PokerStars, you can have your own private poker club, where you can play poker with a select few of your closest friends. With this free software, you can not just create your own poker club but also join an existing club and play online.
How Home Games works
You first start by registering as a member at PokerStars and downloading the free PokerStars software. The next step is to create an online poker club, which is done by picking a club name and identification code. Once your private poker club is created, you can send invites to friends whom you wish to have in your poker club. Send your club ID and code to your friends along with the invites.
If you want to schedule a game or tournament, all you need to do is choose the game type and the buy-in level. Once you have set the date for the tournament, club members are automatically notified of the tournament or game that will be coming up.
Features of Home Games
Home Games from PokerStars comes with very useful and convenient features. One of them is the customizable lobby with Home Game tables and tournaments that you can choose. Another key feature of Home Games is the Club management tool, which enables you to appoint administrators, remove/accept members, set tournament durations and perform other tasks. The game management tools help in various game-related tasks like scheduling of the games and customizing the various game parameters.
Another tool is the Club leaderboard, which notifies the ranks of the players in your club based on the points earned in the games. The player statistics tools displays detailed information about every player in the club including points earned, knockouts and top finishes. You can choose to play all poker types that PokerStars can offer. Also you can play with your friends regardless of which part of the world they may be in, as long as they have access to a PC and a sound internet connection.
Home Games Promotions
Like the promotions offered by most online gambling portals, PokerStars’ Home Games also has its own set of promotions. One of the past promotional offers was for players in the UK and Ireland, where players could host a professional poker player from Team PokerStars for an exclusive tournament. For this, a poker club needed to have minimum of six members. PokerStars would add an amount of ₤1,000 to the prize pool and a bounty of ₤100 would be placed on the pro’s head. Newer promotional offers can be found out by signing up using the poker stars marketing code and going to the Home Games webpage.
Poker is not only played competitively in poker rooms; it is also an enjoyable game played between family and close friends. The PokerStars Home Games feature enables you to relive the experience of playing poker with your private group of friends, with the only difference that all the playing is done online.
