Private Group Online Poker?

Make the holidays special with private poker games among friends and family.

Hey hey Poker People. Lara here. As the holidays approach, many of us, including myself, think about all of those times our families sat together around the kitchen table playing cards. Poker has a long history in my family and I am sure card games of all types played a role in yours as well. In today’s busy world, getting everyone together under one roof can feel like an impossible task. As the holidays approach yet again, (seriously, already?) I start to think about getting together like in the years past. If you are thinking the same thing then why not host a game of online poker for your private group? All the fun of the kitchen table game but available anywhere in the world.

Need a Great Virtual Holiday Idea?

Online private group poker is the solution to holiday separation.

Bring everyone together — no matter where they are with an online private group poker experience. That’s just a way of saying it’s your private virtual poker game for just the folks you invite. Go all in against your kids away at college; check and raise your friend in the military stationed half a world away; or bluff your weird cousin.  (I can say that, I both have, and am, the weird cousin.)

You can do all of that and more when The Poker People hosts your private group online poker holiday party. Just you and your guests enjoying the holidays together.  At The Poker People, we make it easy to recreate that holiday magic, turning a private virtual poker game into an unforgettable family event.

Why virtual poker is a great holiday party idea.

There’s something special about family game time. The friendly competition, the lighthearted banter, the inside jokes that resurface year after year — these are the moments that stick with us, long after the holiday lights have been taken down. While an in-person poker night may not always be possible, The Poker People makes it easy to recreate that same feeling of togetherness, even from a distance.  We have live dealers at every virtual table and will make your private virtual poker game feel like the kitchen table at grandma’s house.  Simply select a date that works for your family and speak to one of our schedulers.

What to expect on Game Day.

When the big day arrives, everyone will log into the designated Zoom meeting and be greeted by real, live poker dealers who will make sure the game runs smoothly. We’ve hosted private group poker online games for years and will make your event special for your family and friends.  Here’s what you can look forward to:

  • Create Your Poker Identity
    Get creative! Each family member can come up with a fun poker username and choose an avatar to represent themselves at the virtual table. I can’t wait to see GmblGrany take on WeirdKuzn for a huge pile of chips.
  • Learn the Ropes with Real Dealers
    For family members who might not be familiar with poker, our professional dealers are there to help. They’ll teach the rules, offer guidance, and make sure everyone feels comfortable, even if it’s their first time playing.
  • Friendly Competition
    Whether your family is full of seasoned players or enthusiastic beginners, the key to a great holiday poker night is fun! Enjoy some friendly competition, laugh over bad beats, and engage in just the right amount of trash talk.
  • Play for Fun or Prizes
    Depending on your family’s preferences, you can either play for fun and bragging rights, or spice things up by adding small prizes. It’s your holiday game — you get to decide how competitive (or laid-back) you want it to be!
