Get paid
One pool. Every table.
A Wagr Poker night is a free poker tournament, often called a freeroll. Players start with equal stacks across as many tables as the field needs. There is one prize pool for the whole event, so your rivals are every player in it, not only the ones in your seats.
- Game
- Texas Hold’em with rising blinds. You can bet, raise or move all-in on any turn.
- Entry
- Free. There is no purchase, no entry fee, no rebuy and no chip sale. Registration closes when play starts.
- Chips
- Everyone starts with the same stack of play chips. Chips track your place in the event and are never money.
- Tables
- Players are seated across balanced tables. As players bust, tables merge until one final table is left.
- Finish
- An event ends one of two ways: last player standing, or a set time, after which final chip counts decide the places.
- Prizes
- One promotional prize pool for the whole event. It pays the winner only, the top three, the top five or a custom list of places.
- Payment
- Prizes are credited to eligible winners’ Wagr balances automatically after the event finishes.
How to play Texas Hold’em
You get two private cards. Five shared cards arrive over four betting rounds. Make the best five-card hand from any of the seven, or bet so that everyone else folds. Follow one hand, the ace and king of spades, from the deal to the river.
Preflop
Every player gets two private hole cards. The two players left of the dealer button post the small blind and the big blind, and betting starts with the player after them.
Ace-king of spades is one of the strongest starting hands.
Flop
Three shared cards land face up. Everyone still in the hand can use them, and a second betting round starts with the first active player left of the button.
The king pairs, and two more spades are one short of a flush.
Turn
A fourth shared card. Draws become clearer and the pot is usually larger, so each decision costs more chips.
The queen of spades completes an ace-high flush.
River
The fifth and last shared card, then the final betting round. Players left after it show their cards, and the best five-card hand takes the pot.
The flush holds. Ace-high spades takes the pot.
Poker hand rankings
Every Hold’em showdown is settled by the same ten hands. A hand higher on this list always beats a hand below it. When two players hold the same kind of hand, the higher cards in it win.
Royal flush
Ace, king, queen, jack and ten of one suit. It is the best straight flush and cannot be beaten.Straight flush
Five cards in a row, all of one suit. Between two straight flushes, the higher top card wins.Four of a kind
Four cards of one rank. The fifth card, the kicker, breaks a tie when the four are on the board.Full house
Three of one rank with two of another. The three of a kind is compared first, then the pair.Flush
Five cards of one suit in any order. The highest card decides between two flushes, then the next highest.Straight
Five cards in a row of mixed suits. An ace plays high above a king or low below a two, never both.Three of a kind
Three cards of one rank with two unrelated cards. Also called a set or trips.Two pair
Two different pairs and one kicker. The higher pair is compared first, then the lower pair, then the kicker.Pair
Two cards of one rank. Three kickers follow, compared from the highest down.High card
No pair, straight or flush. The highest card plays, then each card after it.

- Blinds
- Forced bets posted by the two players left of the button before the cards are dealt. They rise on a schedule so the event keeps moving.

Poker guides
Is Wagr Poker really free?
Yes. Every Wagr Poker event is free to enter. There is no purchase or entry fee, and play chips are not money.
What game is played?
Texas Hold’em. Each event states its starting stack, seats per table and whether it runs until one player is left or for a set time, with final chip counts deciding places.
How are prizes paid?
Each event has one promotional prize pool shared by every table, split across the top places of the whole event. Prizes are credited automatically to eligible winners’ Wagr balances after the event finishes.
Who is eligible for prizes?
You need a Wagr account in good standing that passes age, location and responsible-gaming checks. An invitation alone does not guarantee entry or prize eligibility.
What is a freeroll poker tournament?
A freeroll is a poker tournament that costs nothing to enter and still pays a prize. Wagr Poker nights are freerolls: free entry, play chips at the table and a promotional prize pool for the top finishers.
Can I buy more chips or re-enter after I bust?
No. There are no rebuys, no re-entry and no chip purchases. Every player starts with the same stack, and registration closes when the event starts.
How does a timed Poker event end?
When the clock runs out, no new hand is dealt. Hands already in play finish, and players are ranked by their final chip counts across every table.
What happens when my table gets short?
Wagr keeps tables balanced. Players are moved between hands, and tables merge as the field shrinks, until the remaining players meet at one final table.
Can I play Wagr Poker on my phone?
Yes. On a phone, an event opens in the Wagr app. On a computer you can play in your browser at wagr.co/poker.
Do I need to know poker to join?
No. Entry is free, so a Poker night is a low-pressure way to learn. The hand rankings and the four betting rounds on this page cover what you need for your first event.
Can I hide my name from results and leaderboards?
Yes. Turn on hidden stats in your Wagr settings and your name is left off public Poker results and leaderboards.
Your seat is free.
Pick a Poker night, register before it starts, and play the whole field for one prize pool.
