PokerStars has today launched a massive update to its Home Games product, making them available on the mobile app in addition to adding several new game formats.

Home Games have increased in popularity at PokerStars, as they make it possible for PokerStars’ players to create private clubs where they can run cash games and tournaments against friends, family, and anyone else who receives an invite code for the club.

Previously, Home Game players had to be at home, literally, because they were only available on the downloadable desktop PokerStars client. Now Home Games are available on the excellent mobile app, meaning players have more freedom than ever before when it comes to competing against their friends, being able to play poker on mobile as well.

New Home Game Formats and Options

New game formats are now available. PokerStars has removed some of the lesser played games and added some new variants. You can now create cash games and tournaments in the following disciplines, so you'd better brush up on your poker rules!

• Hold’em
• Omaha
• Omaha Hi/Lo
• 5-Card Omaha
• Stud
• Stud Hi/Lo
• Razz
• 5-Card Draw
• 2-7 Single Draw
• 2-7 Triple Draw
• H.O.R.S.E.
• 8-Game
• Badugi

Both cash games and tournaments have plenty of customisable options, including players per table, and betting format. Exclusive to Home Game tournaments are options such as rebuys, starting stack, blind levels of three, five, 10 and 15-minutes, and payout structure.

Another welcome addition to PokerStars’ Home Games is late registration for tournaments. Late registration is now available for the first six levels of the tournament, giving you plenty of time to ring round those friends who said they’d join your game but are now off the radar!

Tournament players can also enjoy improved time banks that add more thinking time as the tournament progresses, bringing them in line with PokerStars’ regular tournaments.

_{Home games are currently only available on Android-powered devices with iOS coming in a couple of weeks}

During these difficult times of the COVID-19 pandemic, when many people are following orders to practice social distancing, be it out of necessity or as a preventive measure many of our daily routines have been affected. Playing poker with friends online may not be high on the list of priorities but it sure is a good way to pass some time and get away from heavy thoughts for at least a couple of hours.

Since gathering a number of people in a small room is pretty much out of question, you ought to perhaps think about moving your home game online. Thankfully, there are some great options out there to make this happen and with a bit of creativity, you can make it just as fun as if you were all gathered around the actual table.

Setting Up Your First Online Home Game

The good news is that you don’t need any special technical knowledge to get an online poker game with friends set up just the way you like. While there are a few online casino and poker sites out there offering this option, my own personal experience has been limited to PokerStars. They allow anyone to create private cash games and tournaments with many parameters you can tailor to your needs.

To get the ball rolling, you’ll need to follow a few simple steps:

• Download and install the PokerStars client (if you don’t have it already)
• Go to the ‘Home Games’ tab
• Create your Poker Club with unique name and invitation code
• Invite your friends to join using the code

You can set up your private poker club in a matter of minutes and you don’t have to pay anything for it. The Home Game feature is completely free and gives you an opportunity to create games that are open only to the players you invite. No one can join the club unless they have the invitation code so you won’t have to deal with random players jumping in and spoiling the fun.

As far as the options go, you’ll have a lot of flexibility. You can configure MTTs to suit your needs (level durations, starting stacks, etc.), cash game tables, and sit & gos. The best part is, you can configure buy-ins to be in real cash or play money, so your friends don’t need to have any real cash in their accounts. You can play online poker with friends with almost no limitations, from anywhere in the world.

Unibet Poker also offers the ability to facilitate online home games, according to a recent Tweet from company ambassador David Lappin. I haven’t tried them yet, but they’re worth looking into as well.

Make It Really Count with Enhanced Online Communication

Most people who run regular home games know that it’s not just about playing poker. It’s also about getting together for some good banter, having a few drinks, and getting rid of some stress. This part can be a bit hard to replicate online but if you put some effort into it, it’s doable.

While most online poker rooms do have inbuilt chat functionality, it probably won’t cut it. Instead, you could all jump into a Zoom meeting (or you can use similar software) so that everyone can see each other while playing and actually talk. It may feel weird at first, especially if you’ve never tried it before, but give it a bit of time. Once you’re a couple of beers in and when things get heated up at the table, it’ll be almost as if you were all in the same room.

It’s Okay to Have Some Fun

Recent events have affected the world at large. We’ve found ourselves in a situation that we aren’t really prepared for and people are uncertain as to what they should and shouldn’t be doing. Even so, rest assured that having some fun and taking your mind off of things for a little while is perfectly fine and very much needed right now.

If you want to play poker with friends online, go for it! You have the tools to do it and (likely) a lot of spare time on your hands. Give it a go and see if it works for you. At the very least, you’ll have a few laughs along the way and maybe come up with ideas on how to make things even better for the next time.
