Questions
Before you switch
Is ScallyWagers cheaper?
Its entry plan is listed from $5/mo against $9.99/mo for Poker Sesh hosting, so on the host line alone, yes. Poker Sesh's argument is what's included at that price and that every player is free, not that it undercuts them.
What does a player pay on Poker Sesh?
Nothing, ever. Players create a free account, join with an invite code, and keep their full stats history without a card on file.
Can I try Poker Sesh before moving my game?
Yes. Hosting has a 14-day free trial, which is about two or three game nights — long enough to find out whether your crew actually uses it. Cancel from Settings before day 15 and nothing is charged.
