You can play with a friend even using one IP-address, but not every poker room has this opportunity. If you want to try playing this way, be sure to check with the support service if this is possible. Some poker rooms believe that in this way the players simply transfer chips to each other.
You can also play the joint game through social networks - this will allow your friends not to waste time on registration and opening an account. You just need to go to the desired social network and invite a friend there.
The best part is that private play is always synonymous with security. No data is disclosed to unauthorized persons, you only provide your friends with the access code to the club, game or tournament.
