Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, completely. All chips are virtual play-money. There is nothing to buy and nothing to cash out.

No. MoonLight Poker is a free-to-play game for entertainment. Chips have no monetary value, cannot be withdrawn or redeemed for prizes, and cannot be transferred between players.

No. Pick a nickname and play. An optional free account saves your statistics, recent results and chip history across devices.

You must be 18 or older to create an account or play. Some jurisdictions restrict simulated gambling games; you are responsible for following your local laws.

On public tables you start with five AI players. On private tables your friends join through a link and AI players fill any empty seats, stepping aside between hands when a person needs the seat.

Open Private Table, choose your settings and create the table. Copy the invitation link and send it to your friends. They open it, choose a nickname and are seated at the same live table.

Yes. You can set an optional password, remove players, and revoke the invitation link at any time. Players already seated stay seated after a link is revoked; new visitors with the old link are turned away.

Yes. Shuffling uses a cryptographically secure random source on our server, the server decides every outcome, and we never rig deals or favour any player. Your browser is never sent anyone else’s hidden cards.

Your seat is kept and the game reconnects automatically. If it is your turn, the clock keeps running: a missed turn is a check when that is free and a fold otherwise. After several missed turns in a row you are sat out until you return.

In cash-style play the blinds stay fixed and a busted stack is refilled so you can keep playing. In a private tournament everyone starts with the same chips, the blinds rise on a schedule, and busted players are eliminated until one player remains.

To keep tournaments fair, players cannot re-enter or join after the first hand. You can watch from the rail.
