"We set these up because we couldn't do them live, but will probably keep them going forever!"

Since Betfair Poker launched Home Games earlier this year, many players have been enjoying the ability to create their own private online games for friends, family, colleagues and more!

We caught up with Betfair Poker customer David, who told us more about how easy it was to set up and how he and his friends are getting on!

Home Game Set Up Next Day

Having played on the site for 4-5 weeks, David told PokerNews he emailed his requirements to Betfair who set up the games for him.

"I sent an email enquiry to poker, and the games were set up the next day," said David. "If we ever want to change anything, we can just send them an email and they're updated."

The tournaments he plays each week are a selection of rebuy and add-on tournaments, with a mix of single and multi-table tournaments.

"We have three groups from three different backgrounds (golf, tennis, social friends) and we have two tournaments a week when all three groups come together.

"All the home games have at least one video call. It makes for a brilliant atmosphere especially. It is all very competitive but the banter is friendly. We only play for fivers but there can sometimes be quite a few rebuys and prize pools have topped �500. We set these up because we couldn't do them live, but will probably keep them going forever!"



Skill Levels Improving

The all-important question is whether or not David has been notching up the victories.

"We have various leaderboards with points awarded based on finishing positions which are updated and published on a WhatsApp group after each game. We have various skill levels with some absolute beginners but everyone has been improving over the weeks.

"There are different tournament formats and as you��d expect the better players have made their way to the top of the leaderboards in the longer formats. However, in our Saturday 'Main Event' we have had nine different winners!"
