P2P games and PvP casino games for real money

P2P games are formats where your stake goes against other players and the operator takes a fee instead of banking the bet. Filter by how much skill matters, then open a guide for the rules, the fee arithmetic and the sites that run it.

P2P poker

Cash games and tournaments where the room never plays a hand. It takes rake, a capped cut of each pot, or a fee on each buy-in.

Cash games · TournamentsHow it works

P2P slot battles

Players buy the same bonus on the same slot and the best result takes the pot. Every buy is still a normal slot bet at the slot's RTP.

1v1 · Group · Crazy modeHow it works

Case battles

Players open the same CS2 cases and the highest total item value takes every skin. The edge is priced into the cases.

1v1 · Teams · Crazy modeHow it works

P2P bingo

Skill-app bingo: entry fees build a prize pool and scores are ranked, often against players who played at a different time.

TournamentsHow it works

P2P sports betting

Back or lay against other bettors on an exchange. Commission comes only out of net winnings in each market, 2% at the exchanges we list.

Back · LayHow it works

Prediction markets

Buy yes or no shares from other traders at $0.01 to $0.99. A winning share pays $1 and the taker pays a fee on each trade.

Order bookHow it works

Backgammon

Matches played to a set number of points with a doubling cube. Dice decide single games; decisions decide the long run.

1v1 · TournamentsHow it works

Chess for money

Staked 1v1 games with time controls. The only luck is piece colour, and engine cheating is the main risk.

1v1How it works

Dice duels

Each player rolls and the higher roll takes the pot minus the fee. A pure-chance format found on crypto sites.

1v1How it works

Arena games

Real-time multiplayer rounds, such as snake arenas, where you carry your stake and cash out. Online Money Games takes 10% of every entry.

Rounds · Cash-outHow it works

Pool (8-ball)

Head-to-head 8-ball for an entry fee, mostly inside skill-game apps that bar cash play in some US states.

1v1How it works

Rummy

Points or pool rummy tables with a fee taken from each game. India has banned real-money rummy since 1 May 2026.

TablesHow it works

Blackjack tournaments

You play your own blackjack hands but rank against other entrants' chip totals. The top finishers share the prize pool.

Sit & Go · TournamentsHow it works

Coinflip

Two players, one flip, and the winner takes both stakes minus the fee: 0.5% at CSGOEmpire, 2-5% at most crypto sites.

1v1How it works

Dominoes

Draw and block games for a stake, mostly run as cash tournaments inside skill-game apps.

18+. New customers only, full terms on each casino's site. Offers, wagering and payment methods as listed by each casino on 27 October 2026. Amounts are converted from each casino's own currency at the European Central Bank rate and rounded, so the casino's figure in your currency may differ slightly. These are standard online casinos, not P2P sites: you play against the house. We earn a commission when you join through these links. Online casinos are not legal everywhere, so check the law where you live first.

How the operator earns in each P2P game

The fee is the one cost you know before you play. These are the published figures for the formats we cover, as of October 2026.

Published fees in P2P games, October 2026
Format	How the operator earns	Published example
Poker	Rake from each pot, capped	About 5% at ACR Poker, 4% at WPT Global
Betting exchanges	Commission on net winnings per market	2% at Smarkets, Matchbook and Betfair Basic
Prediction markets	Taker fee per trade	Kalshi: 0.07 x contracts x price x (1 - price)
Coinflip	Cut of the winnings or the pot	0.5% at CSGOEmpire; 2-5% at most crypto sites
Slot battles	The slot's own house edge, plus any battle fee	Acebet: none between players, 1% on bot payouts
Case battles	Edge priced into the cases	8.8% house edge on CSGOEmpire cases
Skill games for money	Share of each entry fee	0% on Outpost Chess 1vs1 to 14% on GamerSaloon matches above $5

Two formats here are not pure P2P. In a slot battle every bonus buy is a normal slot bet at the slot's RTP, and in a case battle the expected item value is below the case price. Crash, dice and mines games on crypto sites are house-banked, so they are not on this page.

Skill games for money

Luck or skill? Where each P2P game sits

In player vs player games for money, a better player can come out ahead over time only where decisions change the result. In chance games, the fee means the average player loses. This is our editorial grouping of the games we cover.

Mostly chance

Slot battles, case battles, coinflip, dice duels and bingo. No decision changes the expected result, so the fee makes them a long-run loss for every player.

Skill and chance

Poker, backgammon, rummy, dominoes, ludo, blackjack tournaments and arena games. Cards or dice decide single games; decisions decide results over many.

Pricing skill

Betting exchanges, prediction markets and head-to-head fantasy. You win by pricing an outcome better than the person on the other side.

Mostly skill

Chess, pool, trivia battles and esports duels. The main risks are engine cheating, false score reports and opponents who are not who they claim.

Calling a game skill-based does not settle its legal status. India has banned real-money online games of skill and chance since 1 May 2026, several US states bar cash skill contests, and Britain's Gambling Act 2005 treats a game that mixes skill and chance as a game of chance. Our laws by country guide covers each market.
