The value story

Across all 43 discounts in the 6 years tracked, the median cut is 45 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today's $9.99 at 50 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

It is pricier than 90 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 94 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Chess Ultra ($3.89, scores 37) and Nine-Ball Roulette ($3.99, scores 65) both outscore it.

More about Poker Club

Steam's global achievement data puts under 1 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 1.5-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Of the 504 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 7 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2020 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,597 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 579 have a larger share.

At 1.5 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say

Purchased this game thinking I was playing against real people only to find out I have been playing against bots tags this whole time. The game is minimilistic, lags, and glitches and is unplayable 25% of the time. Nobody is playing this game but it is advertised as an online community game with active players.

If you play this, only play against real players. This game is 100% rigged in the bots favor. And 90% of your games will only be against bots. The Player models are butt ugly and will piss you off when they win. The voice acting also sucks. If you have a losing fetish, this is the game for you.

Poker Club is a poker simulation developed and published by Ripstone Games that attempts to elevate digital Texas Hold'em beyond the traditional card-table experience. Instead of relying solely on gameplay mechanics, the title focuses heavily on atmosphere, presentation, and player progression, creating a package that feels closer to a televised poker tournament than a basic online poker application. The game blends...
