Reasons To Try Appeak Poker

Imagine: you want to play poker with your friends. Of course, you could gather around a table with cards and chips at someone’s house. But what if your friends are scattered across the globe: one in Idaho, another in Los Angeles, a third in Spain, and a fourth in Australia? Where can you all legally and quickly gather to play poker for free? The answer is simple: Appeak Poker – Texas Holdem.

Here are five reasons why Appeak Poker is the best app to play poker with friends.

№1: Appeak is free on both iOS and Android

Just search for “Appeak Poker” in the App Store or Google Play and download the app. Whether you have an iPhone or an older Android device, Appeak will run on any smartphone or tablet.

Every major poker room operates under a certain jurisdiction, and it’s impossible to find a global poker room that’s legal everywhere. U.S. players are often confined to their own pool (in Sweepstakes Rooms or “gray” platforms), while Spain, Portugal, and France have their own reservation, and the rest of the world plays separately.

Appeak is available to everyone. Players from any country can download and play Appeak legally and for free. Regardless of what state or country you’re from, players from around the world meet at the same table only on Appeak.

№3: No risk of losing money

Appeak operates with play money. The app doesn’t require linking a bank card. You don’t need to make a deposit or buy Gold Coins to play poker with your friends. Simply install the app, register, and get 5,000 Appeak Chips for free. You can join a game with a buy-in as low as 80 chips, so the starting bankroll is enough to last a long time.

№4: A positive atmosphere and friendly chat

Appeak Poker is a place where poker lovers gather. There’s no throwing tomatoes or trash at opponents. Instead, you can discuss hands with them in the chat. Write “nh – Nice Hand” when an opponent wins with a great hand, and reply with “ty – thank you.” In short, maintain a pleasant atmosphere at the table.

If you see someone with the same flag as yours, ask where they’re from. You might find a new Facebook friend or meet offline at a live poker table or simply share a beer at a bar. Appeak is a place for true poker enthusiasts to connect.

№5: It takes less than 5 minutes to install, register, and start playing Appeak

The app is only 27 MB on iOS (46 MB on Android) and doesn’t require updates. It’s much smaller than any other poker app.

You can log in via Facebook. Don’t have Facebook? Just enter a username and password, and you’re ready to play. No verification, identity check, or address confirmation is required. Playing poker has never been easier!

Available games on Appeak Poker

All games are available in the “Explore” tab.

Appeak games

At Appeak tables, you can only play the most popular poker format — No Limit Texas Hold’em. Players can choose between cash games and various tournament formats, which can be switched in the top right corner (where either a trophy or a stack of chips is displayed).

Cash games are played at 5-max and 8-max tables, with stakes ranging from 1-2 chips (with a minimum buy-in of 80) to VIP tables with a buy-in of 100M chips. VIP tables are available for VIP members. VIP membership costs 1,000,000 Appeak Chips.

Tournament formats include:

  • Sit-and-Go: Single-table tournaments that start as soon as enough players register. Each player starts with 1,000 chips for the buy-in.
  • Bingo Bango: In this format, each player gets just one chip. Everyone goes all-in on the first hand. It’s a format for those who enjoy pure thrill.
  • Double Up: An 8-max format where you double your chips if you finish in the top 4.
  • MTT: Multi-table tournaments, where players are seated across multiple tables from the start, unlike Sit-and-Go.
  • Duels: Found in a separate tab on the main screen, these are one-on-one Sit-and-Go matches.

Appeak Poker Player Rankings

Appeak has a player ranking system. Everyone starts with the lowest rank, “Baby Fish.” Play poker, accumulate chips, complete tasks, and earn new status levels. You can view an opponent’s rank by tapping their avatar, as well as their bankroll, rank, level, and personal information (country, age, gender).

Appeak Poker FAQs

What if I forget my Appeak username/password?

If you did set a valid email when you registered your account (or later by going to the settings screen and tapping Edit profile), you can recover both your username and password by following this link. Otherwise, you are out of luck.

What if I don’t receive my daily Appeak bonus?

Most likely you are in a different time zone than the server. The server clock is set to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)/Greenwich Mean Time. Check the current date and time in that timezone
To clarify, please study the following example:

 

1. User A is in timezone EST (which is UTC -5 hours).
2. A logs in at Feb 11, 8:00 PM and receives the daily bonus. The local server time is Feb 12, 1:00 AM.
3. A then logs in at Feb 12, 1:00 PM and expects a new daily bonus. The local server time is now Feb 12, 6:00 PM.
4. Thus both of A’s logins occurred on the same day according to the server, and A will have to wait 6 hours to receive the next daily bonus.

I have lost my Appeak chips, what do I do?

Login tomorrow and you will, as usual, receive the daily bonus of 1,000. You can also buy chips (for real money) by pressing the “Get chips” button on the game’s main screen. Note that buying or selling chips to other users results in account deletion.

Did your chips disappear when you left the table?

When leaving a table, your stack (your chips at the table) becomes available as soon as the current hand ends. This usually takes 1-2 minutes; sometimes more, sometimes less.

Can I add an email even after registration?

Yes. Go to the settings screen and tap “Edit Profile.” Click next and enter your email.

When do Appeak Players Show or Muck Hands?

Main approaches to showing/mucking:

1. Home Games – All players at showdown must show their hand.
2. Standard Poker Site – Players get the option to muck their hand in some showdown situations.

Appeak Poker previously used the first approach, but now uses the second. All the show and muck actions happen at the same time, to speed up the game. Players gave feedback (and we agree) about not wanting to give out compromising information about their play.

Scenarios where Appeak Players Show Cards

1. If everybody goes all-in before the river card has been dealt, then everybody shows their hand in no specific order.
2. When the hand goes to showdown and not everybody goes all-in before the river, then players show their hands in a specific order.

Appeak Poker rules for showing or mucking

1. The last player to make a bet or raise shows first. Even if the last raise was made pre-flop.
2. If there are no bets or raises, the first player after the button shows first. Then, each player, starting with the one after the first who showed in clockwise order, shows if he/she holds a better hand. Otherwise, the player mucks.
3. If there are sidepots, the players in those show their hands first. In the game log you can see who actually showed first by finding the oldest “x showed …”.

Example:

On the Turn: A bets 50, B calls, C calls, D calls, E calls River: All players check

A is the last better/raiser, so they show first – a pair of fives.
B has a pair of fours, so they can muck.
C has a pair of sevens, so they decide to show.
D has a pair of sixes and mucks (because their hand is worse than C – the best hand).
E has a flush, so he shows and wins the pot.

Poor connection lost me chips – can you help?

Try connecting again in a few minutes. If the problem persists, try again in an hour. If you are on a poor connection and your chip count is important to you, do not play! Data connections over cell phone networks are not very reliable; you may suddenly lose connection because of too many nearby cell phones or bad reception, for example. If possible, play on WIFI.

I had the best hand but lost anyway – Why?

Every time somebody complains about this, one of these two cases apply (we look at the hand history):

  • You did not have the best hand. Either you do not remember the hand correctly or you do not know the rank of poker hands. Please read the rules.
  • There were side pots. You may have won the main pot but players with bigger stacks won the side pot(s) with worse hands, because you were not involved in them. Please, read and make sure you understand the rules before playing and definitely before claiming that the game made an error.

 

How do I change my username, info & remove friends?

At the main screen, press the menu button on your phone and then settings in the menu that appears. Under the “User information” section, press “Edit profile”. However, you can’t change your username.

To remove friends: Press the “Friends” card on the game’s main screen. Expand any categories (such as “Offline”) if necessary and press the friend for a few seconds (a so called long press) until a dialog shows up. Press remove.

Why is the Appeak chat censored?

First, please note that the filter can be turned off in the settings screen or by pressing the Menu button when at a table and pressing Chat opts. This is because of two facts: 1) people misbehave and 2) people expect us to prevent this/punish the people who misbehave. We do not have the time to constantly monitor the tables, therefore the filter exists.

Is the Appeak game rigged in any way?

Absolutely not. People play differently when they do not lose any money. This often leads to “unbelievable” situations. And yes, the shuffling is completely random. The card deck is shuffled using a hardware-based true random number generator.
