Blockchain Poker private tables: password and access settings

In Blockchain Poker's cash-table form, choose Private and set a password to control entry. The separate Verified Only switch checks account status; it does not make a Public table private. Check both settings before you invite anyone.

For example, a group that chooses a $5 buy-in for five players needs $25 in combined entry balances, in the table's selected currency. This is an illustration, not a listed table minimum. The password does not remove rake.

The browser lobby also has Create Sit & Go and Create Tournament controls. Blockchain Poker describes password-protected registration for those formats in BTC, BCH, XEC, FIRMA, and LTC; review each form's current settings before announcing a game.

How it works

Set a private cash table and check tournament access

Set Privacy and Access separately in the official table form. Check buy-ins and rake before you create a game.

  1. 1

    Set the cash table to Private

    Open Lobby > Create Cash Game. In General, choose Private under Privacy and set a password. Leave it on Public only when anyone may find and join it.

  2. 2

    Check the separate Verified Only rule

    In the same General screen, Access offers Everyone or Verified Only. Verified Only limits accounts by verification status; it is not the privacy control. Use Private with a password for an invited cash table, then review Gameplay and Buy In before creating it.

  3. 3

    Create a password-protected Sit & Go

    Open Lobby > Create Sit & Go and enter a password. The game supports 2–9 players; spectators can watch, but entrants need the password.

  4. 4

    Create a password-protected MTT

    Open Lobby > Create Tournament and enter a password. Set the tournament options for 4 or more players. Spectators can watch, but registration requires the password.

  5. 5

    Share the game details

    Give invited players the game name, currency, entry amount, and password. Check the rake and settings before the game starts.

Check entry balances, passwords and rake

  • A password on a Sit & Go or MTT restricts registration, not viewing.
  • Set the format and structure when you create the game. Cash tables can run No-Limit Hold’em or Pot-Limit Omaha, with heads-up, 6 or 9 seats.

Private-table entry and rake questions

How do I make a private cash game?
Use Lobby > Create Cash Game. Under Privacy, choose Private and set a password. The separate Verified Only control checks account status; it does not make a Public table private.
Can I run a private tournament?
Yes. Use Create Sit & Go for 2–9 players or Create Tournament for an MTT with 4+ players. Enter a password to restrict registration; spectators can still watch.
Do private games have rake?
Check the rake or tournament fee on the game form before you start; a private password does not remove it.
