What Is Poker Arcade?

Poker Arcade is a poker app that you can play on any mobile or desktop browser, no download needed. There are no region restrictions and anyone around the world can play.

There are currently 2 game modes:

• Free Play Mode: Receive free chips each day and complete daily challenges.

• Arcade Mode: Enter Sit and Go (SNG) tournaments and compete for prizes.

You earn points toward your player level while playing either game mode. Every time you level up, you’ll earn a Chest that contains mystery prizes.

Free Play Mode

Play free poker and earn rewards.

Each day, you’ll receive a set amount of free chips and 3 random daily challenges. Increase your chip stack and complete your challenges to earn points. Chips and challenges reset every day at midnight UTC.

Free Play Mode is perfect for learning the ropes, testing out new strategies, or growing your level.

Arcade Mode

Test your poker skills for big prizes.

Arcade Mode features single-table, 6-player Sit and Go (SNG) tournaments. To enter a tournament, you must buy Tickets. The entry fee varies depending on the stakes and format.

Games start with 10/20 blinds and increase at set time intervals throughout the tournament until there’s 1 last player standing. The 1st and 2nd place winners get Tournament Badges which are used to redeem for high-ticket prizes in the Arcade Prize Shop.

Your level corresponds to a rank that unlocks exclusive features.

• Bronze: Levels 1 to 20

• Silver: Levels 21 to 40

• Gold: Levels 41 to 61

• Platinum: Levels 61 to 80

Chests

Chests are in-game rewards that contain randomized prizes.

You receive a Chest every time you level up. Chests come in different rarities—the higher the rarity, the higher the potential for a bigger prize.

• Common: Free to open.

• Rare: Costs 1 badge to open.

• Legendary: Costs 2 badges to open.

To open higher rarity Chests, you’ll need to spend Tournament Badges which you can get by playing Arcade Mode. Learn more about Chests.
