How to play poker on Discord
Updated November 2026
The short answer: add a poker game that runs as a Discord Activity, such as TableBoss Poker, to your server. Then join a voice channel with your friends and start the game there. Everyone in the call plays at the same Texas Hold'em table, on PC or phone, without downloading anything.
1. Add a poker game to your server
Open tablebosspoker.com and press Add to my server. Choose your server and authorize TableBoss. You need the Manage Server permission on that server. It is free.
2. Your poker club appears
In about a minute TableBoss creates a TableBoss Poker category in your server, with a main room and a voice room for each table. Every server starts with free tables, and every player has a table of their own.
3. Join a table's voice room and press Play
Join the voice room of the table you want and press Play. The game opens inside the call, so you can talk while you play. Everyone in that room sits at the same table. You can also start it from the Activities (rocket) button in any voice channel.
4. Take a seat
Press a free seat and choose how many coins to bring. A hand is dealt as soon as two or more players are seated, and each table has six seats.
5. Play your hands
When it is your turn, fold, check, call, bet or raise. Quick buttons set common raise sizes. A turn clock keeps the game moving. When you are done, press Cashout to leave the table with your chips.

Texas Hold'em rules in one minute
- Each player gets two private cards. Five shared cards are dealt face up in three steps: the flop (3 cards), the turn (1) and the river (1).
- There is a round of betting before the flop and after each new card. In No-Limit Hold'em you can bet any amount up to all your chips.
- The best five-card hand made from your two cards and the five shared cards wins the pot, unless everyone else folds first.
- Hands from best to worst: royal flush, straight flush, four of a kind, full house, flush, straight, three of a kind, two pair, one pair, high card.
What you need
- Discord on Windows, macOS, Linux, a web browser, iPhone or Android.
- A Discord server you can add apps to, or an invite to a server that already has TableBoss Poker. You can also try it in our official server.
- You must be 18 or older. The game is age-gated in Discord.
Is it real money?
No. TableBoss Poker uses play coins only. Every player gets free coins to start and can claim more for free regularly. Coins are never sold, have no cash value and cannot be cashed out.
