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
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
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
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
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
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.
