Why pool in the browser?
- No download: a friend who opens your link is at the table in seconds; nothing to install, no updates to wait for.
- No ads, loot boxes or coins at stake: no videos between games, and you never lose coins on a lost match.
- Cues are cosmetic only: nobody can buy a longer aim line or a stronger shot.
- No cheating: the server works out where every ball goes, and both players see the same shot.
- Part of Mezar Café: the same room code also plays Pishti, Ludo, Sea Battle or Mezarpoly.

Frequently asked
Can I use my 8 Ball Pool account?
No, the two games are separate and not connected. You don't need an account here: type a name and play.
Are the rules the same?
Yes, 8-ball: clear your group (solids or stripes), then legally sink the 8; after a foul your opponent places the cue ball anywhere.
Does it work on phones?
Yes, it plays in your phone's browser; the table is drawn upright, you aim with your finger and pull the cue back to shoot.
Is it free?
Yes. The shop only sells looks such as cues and tables, which give no advantage.
