Home poker games, organized.
PlaySomeCards helps hosts schedule a home poker game, invite players, confirm attendance, randomize table seating, and manage overflow with a waitlist — without long group chats or manual tracking.
How it works

Generate fair, randomized seat assignments when the game starts.

FAQ
A few common questions from hosts and players.
Is this a real-money poker site?
No. PlaySomeCards is a scheduling and coordination portal for private home games. It does not run games, take a rake, or facilitate gambling outcomes.
What does “email and/or SMS” mean for the MVP?
Email is the default for invites and confirmations. SMS confirmations are supported when enabled by the host (availability may depend on region and configuration).
What happens when the game is full?
Additional confirmations go to the waitlist. If a seat opens, waitlisted players can be promoted and notified.
Do you store player data?
The goal is to store the minimum needed to coordinate invites and RSVPs. For this marketing theme, signups are emailed to the site owner and not stored in a database by default.
