How can I play with play money?
- You must first sign up for an account. Then you will get $1,000 in play money on your account.
- Then log in to the client by visiting the Play Now or Instant Play page. You must log in using your username and password.
What is play money?
Play money is credits without an actual cash value. You may use them to try
out new games, experiment with new strategies and, most importantly, test your
skills against other peoples' - without the element of real money.
How can I log into the games?
The games are found on the Instant Play or Play Now pages. If you aren't
already logged in, you will be asked for the username and password you entered
when you signed up.
What can I do if I run out of play
money?
You can refill your play money twice in 24 hours for up to $1000. To refill
your account, log in and go to My Account. Under "Play For Fun Chips", click
the "REFILL" tab to refill your account.
Why did you get rid of Poker
Version 3?
After releasing Poker 4 early this year, our developers have worked hard to
improve the features and resolve the initial bugs. We are now confident that
our Poker 4.2 software is the best on the market. Since most players who tried
our new Poker 4.2 have happily switched to the new version, we believe that it
is time for Poker 4.2 to completely replace the older Poker 3.
This will obviously create more space in our server for future developments. We sincerely thank you for supporting our games, and we hope that Poker 4 will give you the better gaming satisfaction you are looking for.

How can I create a private table?
Choose the sub-menu, "Private tables" at the Ring Games lobby. Press the green
button, "Create private table" for players on the Java version. Choose the
type of game you want to create from the list, then set your preferences and
click on "create" to confirm. You are now ready to go!
How can I change seats at a poker
table?
In order to change seats at a poker table, you have to leave the table and
return, at which time you will have to pay the blind. This prevents players
from changing seats deliberately in the middle of a session to avoid paying
the oncoming blinds.
May I bring more chips to the table without
leaving the game?
You are allowed to sit out when a hand finishes and click on "Cashier" on the
bottom left hand corner to bring more chips to the table, but you will have to
pay the blind when you sit in again.
Why may I not bring more chips to the
table?
You are only allowed to bring up to 100 times the minimum bet for no-limit
games to the table. This is to make the game more even and eliminate certain
players from having too big a chip advantage over the rest of the players.
What do the table abbreviations and symbols stand
for?
The symbols and abbreviations for the tables in the lobby are illustrated below:
HE = Texas Hold'em
7S8 = 7-Card Stud Hi/Lo
7S = 7-Card Stud
OH8 = Omaha Hi/Lo
OH = Omaha
Red padlock = private table, creator's permission needed
Green and red "lightning" = adaptive or turbo speed (faster than normal)
What does the "delay" by the side of every
player's nickname in the lobby mean?
It is the approximate response time between the player's computer and our
server.

Why were my cards folded when I clicked on
"raise"?
You may have been timed-out of a hand. It is not unusual for players to
sometimes experience lags from their ISP, and you do not see your turn coming
to you until it is actually over.
It is unlikely that our system will automatically check/fold a your hand otherwise. However, we will be gladly look into the incident further for you if you provide us with the hand number or a specific date and time, and the description of your pocket and board cards.
