There are various ways to play Texas Hold em bitpoker online for free. Places such as Global Poker, PokerStars Play, and the World Series of Poker all offer free ways to play the game of holdem.

PokerStars is first on the list. By toggling the Play Money option, you can try out all of their free online poker games without any investment. The interface will look the same, but there's no real money at play. You can still play Texas hold 'em, Omaha, and even short deck at the tables.

On April 15, 2011, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York seized and shut down Pokerstars and several of its competitors' sites, alleging that the sites were violating federal bank fraud and money laundering laws.

All of cash games are available on the site's mobile app, so you can play real money poker cash games at PokerStars on the move if you have a WiFi or mobile internet connection.
