Hosting a private poker table on Poker Circle is one of the most enjoyable ways to play. Whether you’re organizing a friendly game night, a competitive mini-tournament, or simply want to avoid public tables, private tables let you control the stakes, structure, and guest list.

This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to create your own private game on Poker Circle.

What Are Private Tables?

Private tables are exclusive poker rooms where only invited players can join. Unlike public tables where you play with random users, private tables allow you to:

• Invite only friends or specific players

• Set custom game rules (e.g., blinds, buy-ins, time limits)

• Play in a relaxed, familiar environment

• Avoid disruptive players and enjoy more personalized gameplay

Launch the Poker Circle app on your mobile device or desktop. Make sure you’re logged into your account and have an updated version of the app.

2. Go to the “Private Tables” Section

On the home screen or in the menu:

• Tap on “Private Tables” or “Create Table”

• You may see this option under a section labeled “Clubs,” “Friends,” or “Home Games” depending on the app version
