Cardamoo

Frequently asked questions

Everything people ask about Cardamoo, answered straight.

Is Cardamoo free?

Yes. Cardamoo is free to play in the browser and free to download on iOS and Android. The only purchase in the game is an optional cosmetic supporter pack — a profile badge and a visual theme that never affect gameplay or chips.

Can I buy chips?

No — and that's by design, not a missing feature. Chips are never for sale, in any amount, at any price. Everyone at the table earned their stack by playing.

Are chips worth real money? Can I cash out?

No. Chips are virtual, have no real-world value, can't be transferred to other players, and can't be exchanged for money or anything else. They exist for the game — and for bragging rights.

Is Cardamoo gambling?

No. Nothing of real-world value is ever staked, won, or lost. You can't pay money for chips and you can't turn chips back into money — the poker is real, but the stakes never are.

Do I need an account to play?

No — you can try Cardamoo as a guest straight from your browser. A free account unlocks the full game with a bankroll of one million chips, and your guest lesson progress, XP, and stats carry over when you sign up.

What can I play on?

Any modern browser on phone or desktop, plus free native apps on iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play). Everyone plays at the same tables.

How do I play with friends?

Host a private table and share the invite link or room code — your friends tap it and sit down, in the browser or the app. Home games let the host set the blinds and buy-in.

What happens if I run out of chips?

You earn your way back by playing: daily activity, the lucky wheel, challenges, and the weekly leaderboard all award bonus chips. Going bust is never a paywall.

Is there an age requirement?

Yes — Cardamoo is for an adult audience, 17 and up.

Who makes Cardamoo?

A solo developer in Malaysia, under the studio name Sanskerje. Questions and feedback are welcome at js@sanskerje.com.
