Free poker online in Wellington takes one browser tab: Anubis City seats you at a Texas Hold’em table with real people, in a pixel-art Egyptian city with bingo, pokies, blackjack and roulette next door. Nothing is for sale and nothing can be won in money; the chips are debens, handed out free, and you start as a guest with 100,000 of them.
The capital has its share of people who moved here for a job in government or a place at university, and their regular game often stayed behind in Auckland, Christchurch or overseas. A private table gets it going again: the host opens it, shares a link, and friends sit down as guests if they like. On a southerly night, that beats walking to the pub.
New Zealand is among the first places to start each day, and that shapes the tables. The European evening, when Anubis City is busiest, falls on your morning: about 7 to 11 am in the New Zealand summer and 5 to 9 am in winter. A Wellington evening game will meet players from Australia, early risers elsewhere and AI players with an “AI” tag. Every hand counts for Wellington in the City of the Week race, scored by the experience of the city’s ten best players over seven days; how New Zealand as a whole is doing has its own page.

Questions
Is there a Wellington poker night online?
Any night you like: open a private table, set the stakes and the seats, and send the link. Public tables are open around the clock too.
Is it legal to play this in New Zealand?
New Zealand’s Gambling Act is about staking money or other consideration on an uncertain result. Anubis City asks for nothing and pays nothing out, so as we read it, it isn’t gambling. We are not lawyers.
