How TC Hold'em plays

  • Real No-Limit poker

    Blinds, min-raises, side pots and showdowns by the book. Every hand is dealt and decided on our server.

  • People and robots

    Sit with real players and our robots. Robots are always marked BOT and never see your cards.

  • Big wins feel big

    Win 25 big blinds or more on a hand and it counts up centre stage with a fanfare, just like a big slot win.

  • Bad beat jackpot

    If a hand of Aces full of Tens or better, using both hole cards, is beaten at showdown, the jackpot pays out to the loser, the winner and the rest of the table.

  • Bet in one tap

    Presets for the minimum, half pot, three-quarters, pot and all-in, a slider for anything else, and keyboard keys on a computer.

  • A seat is always free

    Every table keeps a seat open: sit down and you are dealt in from the next hand, on any phone or computer.

How to play

  1. Press Play to open the table in its own window.
  2. Confirm you are 18 or over (once).
  3. Pick a table, from $1/$2 to $250/$500 blinds, and choose your buy-in.
  4. You are dealt in from the next hand. Fold, check, call, bet or raise when it's your turn; the slider and the presets set your bet.
  5. Leave whenever you like: your stack goes back to your wallet at the end of the hand. The house takes a small rake from each pot: 5% of it, at most 3 big blinds, and nothing at all when the hand ends before the flop.

The bad beat jackpot

The jackpot is paid for by the house and grows with every hand whose pot reaches 30 big blinds. It pays out when a hand of Aces full of Tens or better, using both hole cards, is beaten at showdown: 50% to the player who lost the hand, 25% to the winner and 25% shared by everyone else dealt in. It stands at $25,000 right now.

Free play, no cash prizes

TC Hold'em is a game, not gambling. Chips have no cash value: you cannot win real money and chips cannot be exchanged for cash. It is for adults only (18+). The house takes a small rake from each pot: 5% of it, at most 3 big blinds, and nothing at all when the hand ends before the flop. Sign up to keep your chips and trophies on any device and to appear on the leaderboard.

TC Hold'em FAQ

Is TC Hold'em free to play?

Yes. You play with chips from the same wallet as all our games. Everyone starts with $1,000 in chips, gets $300 in free chips each day they visit, $500 the first time they open a game and $50 a day for each game they open. Chips have no cash value: you cannot win real money and chips cannot be exchanged for cash.

Who am I playing against?

Real players and our robots. Every robot shows the TipsterCompetition robot avatar and a BOT badge next to its name, so you always know which seats are people. A new table opens with five robots and a free seat; when another player sits down they replace a robot at the end of the hand.

How good are the robots?

They play a solid, tight-aggressive game, each with its own style: some bluff a little more, some are a touch more aggressive. They make the occasional mistake, like people do. They see exactly what a player in their seat would see, never your cards.

What is the bad beat jackpot?

A pot paid for by the house that grows with every hand whose pot reaches 30 big blinds. If a hand of Aces full of Tens or better, using both hole cards, is beaten at showdown, the jackpot pays out: 50% to the player who lost the hand, 25% to the winner and 25% shared by everyone else dealt in.

Is there a rake?

The house takes a small rake from each pot: 5% of it, at most 3 big blinds, and nothing at all when the hand ends before the flop. Chips have no cash value, so the rake only keeps the chip economy in balance.

How much do I need to sit down?

Tables run from $1/$2 to $250/$500 blinds. You buy in for 40 to 100 big blinds, from $80 at the smallest table. When you leave, your stack goes back to your wallet.

What happens if I stop playing or close the window?

You have 20 seconds for each decision, plus a little time bank. If time runs out you check if you can, otherwise fold, and after missing your turn twice you are sat out: your stack goes back to your wallet and a robot takes the seat.

Who can play?

TC Hold'em is for adults only (18+). You confirm your age before your first game.
