IDNPlay was virtually invisible in the internet until 2016 when it jumped to the number two spot in the PokerScout ranking. It opened in Cambodia in 2010 and is now headquartered in Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines. While not as popular as other online poker sites, the site has always maintained a low profile and never advertised its services in the English-speaking market. The IDNPlay lobby is very minimalistic, with options for choosing cash games and stakes, but there are no filters or waiting lists. In addition, players are restricted to one table per account. Multi-tabling is only possible with a different browser and an account.

In addition to free online poker games, players can also play real-money poker games. In 1998, the first online card room to offer real money games was Planet Poker. The first game was played on January 1998, and author Mike Caro became its “face.”

IDN Poker implements multiple account security measures to ensure that players can’t be hacked into their account. This includes requiring players to input a username and password along with a six-digit PIN code, which must be entered on the on-screen keyboard. In addition, each login session is limited, and if you spend more time than that, your account will automatically log out. IDN Poker is an example of a reputable and trustworthy poker site.

Many Internet discussion forums are filled with allegations of cheating or illegal activities in online poker. A large number of unlicensed gaming venues around the world have closed or are temporarily closed due to COVID-19. The sudden dearth of live entertainment options has resulted in an increased interest in online poker among casual players. Many online poker operators reported that their traffic was double or more than it was prior to the pandemic. This is a good thing for players who want to improve their poker game.
