How many tables/games can I have open/host at one time?

Post by BearsShouting »

Maybe a stupid question but I can't seem to specifically find the answer.

Just wondering how many separate games you can host at once. Is there a limit?

Any help appreciated, :)

Have a nice day.

Well, I'll throw out some answers and hope for Cunningham's law to kick in... :)

It depends on the mode that you are in:
For Realtime manual mode, I believe you can only host one table.
For Realtime automatic mode, I don't believe there is a limit other than how fast you can click. When any one table has enough players to start, you will automatically leave any other tables you are waiting in.
For Turn-based, the system imposes a fairly small limit to start with -- something like being able to be in 3 simultaneous games. But, for each game that is completed, that limit increases by 1. With that there are accounts on BGA that have a couple of hundred simultaneous turn-based games active.

I think you can have multiple real time games open in different windows and/or different media (computer, tablet, phone). Not sure though, as I never tried that.

I have had up to 120 turn-based games running at once at some point. But I read of some people who had a lot more. So not really a low limit I'd say :) .

you can open (host) multiple real time tables in manual mode. Just once one starts you will quit the others...much like automatic mode.

turn-based there is no limit for premium, non-premium I think used to be 30? With an additional limit of having 3 tables open waiting for a game to start.

I used to be non-premium and had at one point at least 242 turn-based tables, so there should be no easily reachable limit of turn-based games for non-premium members
