About Pokeo

By José · Updated October 16, 2026

Pokeo is a Texas Hold'em course for adults who have never played cards. You learn it by playing in your browser: each lesson, six to nine minutes long, is a hand where you make the call and it explains why. There is no money at any point, and the first lessons are free with no sign-up.

It is a course for complete beginners that you learn by playing, the way Duolingo teaches languages. Everything you need to know is below, and every figure can be checked on this site.

Pokeo As of October 16, 2026

What it is: A Texas Hold'em course you learn by playing. Every lesson is a hand you play yourself, with the explanation right there, and every path ends in an exam.
Who it is for: Adults who have never played, or have played very little and want to get better. It starts from someone who doesn't know which card is higher; the last paths take you to a serious level.
The course: 18 paths and 104 lessons of 6 to 9 minutes, about 12 hours in all. It starts with the cards and ends with a game of your own.
Practice: Drills and an exam for every path, plus a table where you play whole hands. When you leave the table, it tells you which decision you keep repeating that costs you chips, and which lesson works on it.
Opponents: Characters with a clear style: Walter, tight and passive, and Roxie, loose and aggressive, one on one; at the game table, two or three of the house's nine regulars. Each one is a profile of numbers (how many hands they play, when they bet, when they call, how often they bluff) and decides from their two cards, the board, the pot and the price of a call. They never see yours.
Languages: English, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. The whole course is in all three, and so are the main pages of the site. The Portuguese is translated from the Spanish.
Where it runs: In the browser on your phone or computer, with nothing to download. If you like, you can install it as an app from the browser itself with "Add to Home Screen". There is no app on the App Store or Google Play.
Account: Not needed to start. To save your progress and pick it up on another device, it asks for your email and sends you a code. No passwords.
Price: The first lessons and the table against Walter are free, with no account. The rest opens with the pass: $8.99 a month or $65 for life in US dollars, or €7.99 and €59 in Europe, taxes included.
Who makes it: Utropía, an independent software studio with no investors and no advertising. Today it is one person, José Antonio Neto, who writes the lessons, builds the app and answers the email.

Pricing

Starting is free. The pass opens the whole course, all the practice and the tables against the regulars.

To start

Free No account, no card

The first lessons of the course and the one-on-one table against Walter. Enough to see whether it is for you.
Monthly pass

$8.99 a month

Renews every month. Cancel whenever you like from Settings and keep it until the end of the month you paid for.
Lifetime pass

$65 one payment

Never renews. It opens the same as the monthly pass, for good.

In euros or in dollars

There are two prices, both with taxes included: in euros in Europe and in US dollars everywhere else. The pass page shows the one for where you are, and that is what you pay. If your card is in another currency, your bank does the conversion and may charge a fee; some countries also tax payments in a foreign currency (in Brazil, the IOF), and that tax is not included.

Where you pay	Monthly	Lifetime
The US and the rest of the world	$8.99	$65
Europe	€7.99	€59

You have fourteen days from payment to ask for a refund, no questions asked. Payments are handled by Creem, the merchant of record.
