Site FAQ

Last updated 3 August 2026

Poker Game Database is a free reference to the rules of poker game variants — 154 of them, every one with full rules and a sample hand you can watch deal out. Questions about Player One Poker, the game you can buy once and play offline, are on the Player One Poker FAQ.

The rules

Is the site free?

Yes — every rules page, sample hand, guide, and tool on this site is free, with no account and no ads. The one paid thing in the family is Player One Poker, and its three free games cost nothing either.

Can I actually play these games?

A growing selection of them, yes. Player One Poker ships fifteen of the documented variants as a playable game against computer opponents — see its FAQ for what is free and what the one-time purchase unlocks. The other rules pages are for your own table.

Where do the rules come from?

They were collected and cross-checked from many corners of the poker community, then audited against Robert's Rules of Poker for betting order, bring-in rules, and hand evaluation. Sources and thanks are on the about page.

A rule on one of these pages doesn't match how we play it.

Very possibly both are correct. Home poker is regional, and a lot of these games have multiple names and multiple house rulings. Where a variant is genuinely contested we try to say so on the page. If you think something is simply wrong, tell us; corrections are welcome.

The site

How do I get help or report a mistake?

Use the contact form — it reaches a person, not a queue. Expect a reply within two business days; if a message needs digging into, you will at least hear that it arrived. Questions about a Player One Poker purchase, license, or refund are covered on the Player One Poker FAQ.

Do you track me?

No advertising trackers and no third-party analytics profiles. The privacy policy spells out exactly what is and is not collected — it is a short read, because there is not much to describe.
