Agree on this that they should put it in original list or at the homepage when you go to the casino section.

However it was listed on the home menu under the baccarat but I doubt regular Stake user will notice it since it’s on the bottom part while no one is aware on this new addition. It’s easy to notice it if Stake will highligh it on the home page as new game.

Also I can’t fully view the freeroll tournament details via handheld device.

Yes it is availble in the home drop down menu, I had a hard time in finding it hours ago
It will be nice if they create a special banner for the poker game so players will find it easily.
I played the freeroll today but not lucky enough to win big prize as I finished at 62th position and won $1.5 only LOL.
More winners is good for a freeroll but too much winners is not good as well IMO, so I think stake need to consider to revise the prize structure.

No hand history, no real timer for "time to act", can barely see folded cards, no real chat (just draft options), ugly design, and so on.

The design is simple, I won't address it as ugly though. Seems like they are just testing the game now with freeroll tournaments. The hand history and real chat could be available when this testing period will end. They are showing an animation instead of the seconds for the 'time to act'. However, the time to act is mentioned in the info page which is 15 seconds.

Anyone have some issue with mobile ?

I haven't faced this on Stake today. I have seen such page two to three times before when my internet connection was super weak.

Kinda shocked noone has mentioned stake now has launched poker. They have been running $1000 freerolls for the last 2 days. All you grinders might wanna go take a look and see how you like it. I haven't seen any ring games so far, just the freerolls, but I'm sure ring games and other tourneys are coming soon.

Thanks for the info! I had to search that for a while. I was so sure that this would be some sort of weird prank and that i would just just find those old third party pokers, as surely they would have told us.  But they were sneaky! I am thinking it's part of the plan, to test it with a smaller crowd who founds it before the big announcement. I would be very surprised if there wouldn't be one.

This is really cool! Are those freerolls filling up instantly? I would imagine there's a change to get in if they aren't advertised widely.

In my opinion.

They don't share the news and others for the game is already being deploy, testing the game first with freeroll + to avoid people overload access the game. That's why, they want to make sure the server or dashboard poker can handle a huge visitor/player. But still even they not announcement the game, total people who already joined the freeroll over 2,000 user.

Just want to give some feedback on the Poker Freeroll Tournament. I see the tournament takes 2 hours to finish. Ngl It is quite good experience. I have already managed to join 4 tournaments. There are times at the beginning of the tournament when I experience lag. But overall, the experience is smooth. It is just so annoying with players who are AFK and who take too long to make decisions. Hopefully, they lower the time to make decisions in this tournaments.

Another new poker free tournament will start in the next 30 minutes: https://stake.com/casino/games/poker/play?mode=real

It is just so annoying with players who are AFK and who take too long to make decisions. Hopefully, they lower the time to make decisions in this tournaments.

How come does an AFK is still in the table? Does this player is not active since the start and still there until they lose all their chips on the small blinds? This is really annoying if this AFK player will be on the table for that long and keep using all the decision time.

Stake should automatically remove players that are not online since it’s considered as forfeit for not being on the table when it starts. I do a lot of Blackjack tournaments in the past but no AFK player allowed, I’m skeptical on how freeroll tournament for poker works because they allow AFK players which means they are still allowed to enter even the tournament is already in session.

Plus they are probably not even sure if it is working as well as they hope it would, so they want to first consider this stage as open beta, that way they would still have some people playing there, they would get to watch and see if people are having trouble of not. That way it would be quite good and would result with something much better.

Obviously it is not going to be easy, and a lot of people will not see the benefit of this, but the truth be told I think it is quite obvious that we are going to see this open beta be fine. That way they can fix whatever issues that they have, and it will get a lot better on the long run, they will move along while fixing all the issues and will not face with any trouble on the long run.

If the player goes AFK, other players will wait until his turn is over. He won't be disconnected or even kicked from the table, just pure waste of time. While if a player is disconnected, he will also stay at the table, but bets will be placed automatically and he will automatically fold. He will be removed from the table once his balance goes to zero. I know other online poker once you go AFK you will be kick in the next round and if you want to join again wait for another round.

You can't really call it a beta anymore.
They tested it for at least 6 months on their .us site, and it still looks like a college kid made this software in 1 evening in his dorm. 
There are so many flaws, it amazes me a big site like stake would publish this as a finished product. Reminds me of the Cyberpunk 2077 release, hahaha.
I thought I would use stake again when they finally publish poker but it seems like this ship has sailed, totally not worth it!

The reason was simple.

It's because (STAKE-POKER) it's not being updated on Stake Originals List Games. You can check by your self, there is no (STAKE POKER GAMES). People needed to search manually with the type word (POKER) on the search function.

No wonder everyone doesn't know anything about these ones. I don't even know, I search them once you told these

Agree on this that they should put it in original list or at the homepage when you go to the casino section.

To be fair it looks like they are not marketing poker all that much at the moment, not saying that they do not want players or anything, but they are not making a big deal out of it just yet.

I bet that when they are ready, they are going to get some amazingly famous poker player, maybe a few, and make them do the marketing and play in some ad or something and put all their name there etc and even make them who knows stream playing poker (which is a little weird if it happens considering someone might be playing against them) so all in all, we could see them do a lot more.

Plus, they will do these huge reward poker tournaments as well, with rewards being as high as hundreds of thousands of dollars, and that would then be the point where they expect everyone to know about it.

Indeed, their poker game design is not the best.
The players circles at the table are kinda small, players cards and my own cards have some issues with transparency over the circle and username (especially when you fold).

I agree with that transparency, as it isn't clear to read at all...


But it's an easy fix, and i love the other simplistic / minimalistic design on the table. Throwin tomatoes etc taunting seems reallty unnecessary, but i suppose it's a matter of perspective and can just turn it off.

And maybe i just haven't used it enough, but i tried to add a poker table before my freeroll game started dealing cards just to see what that button does. I was instantly lost in gui for a while and took a while to find my table. That didn't seem like intuitive design, but maybe it's just confusion of a first timer.

Setting notes and and color rings on players is a good idea and i was using that a lot. I didn't go all in at the start even though i had a winning hand because i didn't want to accidentally lose before looking around and figuring out how everything works, and now i am annoyed i didn't. But there's always next time.

And i haven't played online poker for a while but is that option to choose from predefined text bubbles in a chat, as only form of communicating a thing? Or is this just some kind of placeholder before they get things working?.

I have to agree that their poker table is not the best, I think they can create/develop much better poker table.
Currently their poker freerolls are played by many users but I'm wondering once they open the ring games, will it get the same average number of active players?
We have seen many poker sites that failed in the past, when they open freerolls = there are many users but when they stop freeroll, there was so small numbers of active players.
Without a doubt, Stake has a big player based but I'm not sure how many of them who are really poker players who will be willing to play in ring games.

This is the worst experience. You’re right that AFK player should be removed with just 1 turn of being offline since the decision time is too long to be consumed consistently every round.

I’m not a regular poker player but I have experienced playing poker app like pokerstar which automatically kick out user that doesn’t do decision in a turn. Maybe this poker table is still under ongoing improvement that’s why Stake doesn’t market it full blast or else we should be seeing this game frequently advertised here.

Stake signature code is not even updated with this latest supposedly a power house game for them.

I am not a poker player, and neither do I even know how to play, but one thing we need to also consider here is that, the US version of that site is not the same as the global site, for one sure thing first is that, number users of the US site and number of users of the global site can't be compared, and we know that tech products always have issues when hit with the type of traffic it wasn't designed for.

And Secondly, you don't expect stake to just take the software from their US site and implement into the global site without tweaking some line of codes, adding and removing some stuffs, and as long as this is done, the software automatically considered new and in beta test mode since those code thats been updated may not have gone through a normal rigorous test phase or process to guarantee not just usability, but durability, reliability as well.

Anyways, I am not here to defend stake for releasing a poorly crafted piece of tech to their users, i am just stating some possible reasons that could have lead to the low rating and dissatisfaction of users on the newly launched poker game on the site.

US and.COM

Have different total users, did (US) are facing the same lag with .com ? I don't think soo, even they're sharing the same system, bandwidth server and other. US have more steady rather than .com. Basically, it's not the same.

Poker required created a room, there also has some tournaments. Total number user who are accessing the dashboard, people are joined in the room, and how many room they can created are quite different with .US.

The dashboard can crash on .COM meanwhile in US is not.
