Standard Hold’em Tables

Standard Hold'em Tables let you join and leave at any time and take your remaining stack with you.

Blinds

Each table has fixed blinds (e.g., 1/2, 2/4). These don’t change during the game.

Buy-In

Every table has a minimum and maximum buy-in. You can:

  • Buy in when you join.
  • Top off to the maximum at any time.
  • Rebuy as often as your bankroll allows.

Auto Options

Auto Top-Off Auto Top-Off will automatically refill your stack back to the table maximum after each hand.

Auto Rebuy Auto Rebuy will automatically buy back in (as long as you have enough bankroll), if you bust.

Rake

Plato takes a 10% house fee from each pot, which is known as the Rake.

Table Stakes

You can only ever bet the chips you have in front of you—never more.

Running Out of Chips

If you go broke, you can:

  • Grab Free Chips to keep playing.
  • Or visit the Shop to top up instantly.

Can I play online?

Yes. Install the Plato app on iOS, Android, or macOS to play the full catalog with friends or matchmade opponents. You can also play Ocho online in your web browser — no install needed.

Can I play with friends?

Yep. Tap Create Private Game, then share the invite link or invite from your contacts. When they tap Accept, they're seated at your table.

Is it free?

Yes — free to play and ad-free. If you buy something, it's for looks (themes, profile flair), not power.

Is it fair?

Shuffles, deals, dice, and timers run on Plato servers, not your device. Everyone plays by the same rules and no one can peek at hidden information.

Is it safe?

You can block and report from profiles or chat. Public spaces use filters and human review. Some rooms use Chat Pass to deter spam, and privacy controls let you limit who sees you online.

Live vs. turn-based: what’s the difference?

Both are turn-taking; the difference is the clock. Live uses short timers for quick back-and-forth. Turn-based gives you longer — often up to 24 hours per move in games like Chess — so you can play at your pace.
