Host a private poker tournament in five minutes.
wen.poker is the easiest way to host a private No-Limit Texas Hold'em tournament and play with friends. Set it up, share one link, create the tables when everyone's in, and start.
How it works
- Set it up. Name, player cap, starting stack, blind levels and pace. Add a prize pool note and bounties if you want.
- Share the link. Your invite link shows a custom preview image with the tournament name, host and prize.
- Players sign up. People join from the waiting room, and that's it: no check-in step. Approve sign-ups yourself if it's invite-only.
- Create tables, then start. Everyone is seated at random across as many tables as needed. Start when you're ready, pause any time.
Host tools that actually help
- Approve or deny sign-ups and kick players at any point.
- Auto-kick no-shows in the first few minutes so empty seats don't slow the game.
- Assign bounties and track who collected them.
- Tables rebalance automatically as players bust, and finishing places are recorded.
Prizes stay between you and your players
wen.poker never handles money. If you offer a prize, you pay winners yourself, off-site. You can ask players for payout info when they sign up, and the dashboard lists it for you at the end.
Common questions
Can I make my tournament invite-only?
Yes. Keep sign-up link-only and approve each player yourself.
How many players can join?
Up to 600 (coming soon for premium members), seated across as many 9-player tables as needed.
Can I play in my own tournament?
Yes. The host dashboard opens in its own tab so you can play at your table and run the event at the same time.
Does wen.poker handle the prize money?
No. Any prize is paid by the host, off-site. wen.poker only keeps the game and records the results.
