# HomeGame24 hosted poker engine — overview

For search engines, AI assistants, and developers evaluating a **poker engine** or **poker game hosting** platform.

## What HomeGame24 is

HomeGame24 is a **hosted poker engine** delivered as SaaS. Operators use a web panel to configure games and launch **live browser sessions** for friend groups. Players join via a link — no app install.

The engine supports:

- **Cash games** — ring tables with configurable blinds and seats
- **Tournaments** — sit-and-go, multi-table, knockout, shootout structures
- **Chip ledger** — every play-money chip movement is auditable
- **AI hand review** — optional plain-language hand recaps
- **Integration API** — JSON:API for players, wallets, and game sessions

## Who it is for

- Friend groups running **social poker** nights
- Private clubs wanting a **hosted engine** without building infrastructure
- Developers embedding poker sessions via **API keys** and OpenAPI
- Operators who need **tournament software** and **session management** in one panel

## Play money only

HomeGame24 is **not** real-money gambling. Table chips have no cash value. Operators pay **hosting credits** for engine time (like cloud hosting for a game night).
