Free poker in Abuja — online, not a betting site

Free poker in Abuja, online and with real people: Anubis City is a browser game where Texas Hold’em, blackjack, 75-ball bingo, roulette and slots share a pixel-art Egyptian city. You play for debens, the game’s own coins. There is no wallet to fund, no stake in naira and nothing to cash out — it is a game, not a betting site.

People searching for an Abuja poker club are usually after a live game. We can’t point you to one; what we can offer is a free table that is open whenever you are, from Wuse to Gwarinpa. For a game with colleagues after work, one saved character opens a private table in the Temple of Fortune, chooses the blinds and the number of seats, and shares a link — the others join from their phones, as guests if they like. New to Hold’em? The hand rankings take five minutes to learn.

Abuja is the one place where the federal lottery regulator still has a say: since the Supreme Court’s November 2024 judgment, gaming elsewhere is for each state to regulate. Those rules are about games played for money or money’s worth, and Anubis City has neither — more on the Nigeria page. Abuja keeps West Africa Time, UTC+1, the same as London in summer. In the City of the Week race it scores the experience of its ten best players over seven days, and each race day starts at 1 a.m. local time, which is midnight UTC.
