What is the Best Free Online Poker Site? (Top 6 Reviewed)

Playing poker for free can be a great way to learn the game and build confidence for real-money games. 

Newcomers to the game can enjoy free poker games on several different platforms. The sites on the following list offer free poker online, with no deposit or any kind of money commitment required.

Here’s a look at the best places to find free poker games online:

ClubWPT Gold

A sweepstakes poker site backed by the World Poker Tour (WPT) brand, ClubWPT Gold is a newer option for those looking to learn the game or just play for fun.

Not to be confused with PlayWPT, the “Gold” version is a separate browser-based site that offers No-Limit Hold’em ring games and multi-table tournaments. You can choose to participate using play money (“gold coins”) or virtual currency called “sweeps coins” that you can eventually redeem for real cash prizes. Neither option requires an initial deposit to get started.

There is no dedicated ClubWPT Gold mobile app as of yet so you will need to go to ClubWPTGold.com to sign up.

Enter your personal details and promo code UPSWING2 when signing up to receive free sweeps coins (SC) and qualify for special freeroll tournaments.

Navigate to the wallet or “coin exchange” to purchase or claim more free gold coins (GC). If you click on “daily login rewards,” you can claim a set amount of free GC (and bonus SC) every day, with additional bonuses available for seven days of consecutive logins.

At the top of the home screen or lobby, you can easily toggle back and forth from SC to GC mode.

If you’re looking to stick to play money only, be sure to keep the GC option selected. Both modes allow you to try out ring games and MTTs against real opponents in most US states, and also offer freeroll tournaments with chances to stack up more of the virtual currency of your choosing.

PlayWSOP.com

WSOP, perhaps the world’s most famous poker brand, offers free poker online through its PlayWSOP platform. The free poker site is available as a no-download desktop client, with a quick one-click sign up process if you want to use your existing Facebook or Google account to register.

PlayWSOP.com is also available as an app download for mobile devices. Apple iOS users can find PlayWSOP in the App Store, while Andriod users will find the app in the Google Play store. PlayWSOP is also accessible on Amazon Kindle Fire.

After signing in to PlayWSOP, the platform gives you the option of having a virtual dealer take you through the basics of poker. PlayWSOP offers both No-Limit Hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha as free poker games, and you can practice your skills in both cash games and tournaments.

Replay Poker 

Replay Poker offers free poker online in a package that very much resembles the world’s top real-money poker sites. The platform features a variety of “cash game” stakes that allows you to practice your bankroll management skills, with the site’s most skilled players awaiting at the top tiers of the play-money cash game ladder.

The Replay Poker platform offers No-Limit Hold’em, Pot-Limit Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, and Royal Poker, a version of Short Deck Hold’em with only tens through aces in the deck. 

Players can access Replay Poker with no download required, but note that the client isn’t compatible with the Internet Explorer browser. The desktop version stands as the only way to enjoy the platform, as no mobile app for Replay Poker has been released as of yet.

Zynga Poker

One of the longest-running platforms offers free poker online, Zynga Poker offers free poker games on a no-download desktop client. Like some of the other choices on our list, Zynga Poker requires just a one-click sign-up process if you use your Facebook or Google account details to sign up.

Zynga Poker presents the chance to play in free “cash games,” Spin & Wins, and Sit & Go single table tournaments. Zynga Poker’s games are free to play, but you can also buy play money chips at any time.

In addition to the desktop version, Zynga Poker can also be played on a downloadable app for both Apple and Android devices.

PlayWPT

Watch any World Poker Tour broadcast and you’ll no doubt see plenty of commercial time dedicated to the PlayWPT free online poker site. PlayWPT offers No-Limit Hold’em cash games, tournaments, and Sit & Gos.

The vibrant visual interface of WPT makes the platform one of the more aesthetically appealing places to find free poker online. Upon sign-up, the platform starts you off with play money credits, but you can also buy more chips for the free games at any time.

The PlayWPT platform is available as a browser-based client, and also as an app download for Apple iOS and Android devices.

247poker.com

The 247poker platform offers free poker online as more of a brain game versus the other free poker sites on our list. When you sign in for a session, 247poker allows you to pick among easy, normal, hard, or expert difficulty.

From there you’re instantly taken to a six-max No-Limit Hold’em game where you’re pitted against five AI opponents. 

The 247poker platform is perhaps the most efficient way to use a free online poker site as a training tool for real-money games. The more difficult levels of 247poker feature challenging AI opponents.
