Step into a real poker room from your phone. Cash tables, Sit & Go's, weekly tournaments, and live dealer poker — nustar g has a seat ready for you any time of day.
From beginner-friendly cash tables to high-stakes tournaments — every format is here.
The undisputed king of poker worldwide and the game most Filipino players know best. Two hole cards plus five community cards — the best five-card hand wins. Tables available from ₱5/₱10 blinds all the way up to ₱500/₱1,000 for serious players.
Find a TableFour hole cards instead of two, but you must use exactly two from your hand plus three from the board. More combinations, more action, bigger pots. A favourite among experienced Hold'em players looking for a more complex challenge.
Play OmahaThe pot gets split between the best high hand and the best qualifying low hand. Requires a completely different strategic approach to standard Omaha and rewards players who can think about both halves of the pot simultaneously.
Play Omaha Hi-LoSingle-table tournaments that start as soon as the seats fill — no scheduled start time required. Available in 6-max, 9-player, and heads-up formats with buy-ins from ₱100 to ₱2,000. Great for a focused session without a long time commitment.
Join SNGScheduled tournament poker with guaranteed prize pools. Our Sunday Majors feature a ₱100,000 guaranteed pool. Weeknight events run with ₱20,000–₱50,000 guarantees. All tournament structures use standard blind levels with antes in later stages.
View ScheduleCasino Hold'em and Three Card Poker with a real human dealer via HD video stream. Play against the house rather than other players — ideal if you enjoy the atmosphere of live casino but want to use poker hand knowledge. Tables run 24/7 on nustar g.
Play LiveOne-on-one Texas Hold'em where every hand is a direct duel. No distractions, no third parties — just you versus one opponent. Intensely personal, fast-paced, and deeply reliant on reading your single opponent rather than a full table.
Play Heads-UpEvery time you fold, you're instantly moved to a new table with new opponents. No waiting — you see a hand count of 200+ per hour instead of the typical 60. Perfect for players who want maximum hands in minimum time.
Play ZoomAll cards below 6 are removed from the deck. This changes the hand rankings — a flush beats a full house, and sets beat straights. The shortened deck means more premium hands and bigger action every street.

Poker has been growing steadily in the Philippines for over two decades. From the early underground home games in Makati and Quezon City to the organised poker rooms that now operate inside major Manila casinos, Filipino players have shown again and again that they have the patience, the strategic intuition, and the competitive fire that the game rewards. Nustar g was built to bring that same standard of play to anyone in the country — whether you're a seasoned live player who wants to grind online between sessions, or someone who's watched poker on YouTube and wants to finally try it for real money.
What makes nustar g different from a generic poker platform is the attention to the details that Filipino players actually care about. The cashier supports GCash, Maya, and all major Philippine banks. The support team includes agents who speak both English and Filipino. Withdrawal times are measured in minutes, not days. And the player pool — while competitive — has enough recreational players that you're not walking into a shark tank every time you sit down at a cash table.
If you've never played real-money poker before, Texas Hold'em is the right place to start. The rules are learnable in under an hour, but the depth of strategy keeps even the most experienced players studying for years. On nustar g, Hold'em cash tables start with ₱5/₱10 blinds — meaning you can sit down with as little as ₱500 and have a full, meaningful session. The software interface shows pot size, player positions, and bet sizes clearly, and a built-in hand history tool lets you review every decision after the session is over. For players who are still learning, that replay function alone is worth its weight in chips.
Filipinos are naturally competitive, and tournament poker is where that spirit shines. Unlike cash games where the swings can be brutal session to session, tournaments have a fixed maximum loss — your buy-in — and the potential upside is a slice of a much larger prize pool. The Sunday Majors on nustar g carry a ₱100,000 guaranteed prize pool with a ₱500 buy-in. That kind of value-to-entry ratio is genuinely hard to find anywhere else in Philippine online poker. Mid-week events run every Tuesday and Thursday with smaller guarantees, giving grinders something to target even on weeknights. Tournament structures are designed to allow play for 3–5 hours before the money bubble, which means you're not just flipping coins from the first level.
The reality is that most Filipino poker players today want to play on their phone. Whether you're on a long commute in Metro Manila, catching a break at work in a BGC office, or relaxing at home in Davao after dinner — your phone is the poker table. Nustar g's poker interface is fully optimised for mobile. The card displays are large enough to read at a glance, the betting controls are designed for one-thumb use, and the app supports multi-tabling — you can have up to four tables running simultaneously on a single device. Data usage is minimal so even on mobile data you won't have connection issues mid-hand.
New players at nustar g receive ₱1,000 in free chips on their first qualifying deposit, playable at any poker table or Sit & Go. Beyond the welcome bonus, the VIP program rewards consistent players with weekly rakeback — a percentage of the rake you pay returned to your account — plus monthly tournament tickets, priority withdrawal processing, and dedicated account managers for high-volume players. The rakeback structure is transparent: it's calculated based on hands dealt and displayed in your account dashboard weekly. No confusing points systems, no arbitrary multipliers.
The biggest concern any serious poker player has when choosing an online platform is game integrity. At nustar g, the Random Number Generator used for card shuffling is independently certified. Our security team monitors player behaviour patterns to detect collusion, chip dumping, and bot activity — all of which are immediately actioned with account suspension and winnings held for investigation. We publish monthly game integrity reports in the account help section. Poker is a fair game when everyone plays honestly, and we take that obligation seriously. You play; we protect the integrity of every hand.
Whether you're taking your first steps in online poker or already have years of experience behind you, nustar g has the right table, the right stakes, and the right environment for your game. Mag-register na — the cards are being shuffled.

You don't need to be a pro on day one — but these habits will save you money from the very first session.
Beginners tend to play too many hands. Be selective — stick to strong starting hands, especially in early position. Folding often is not weakness; it's discipline.
Acting last after the flop gives you enormous information. Play more hands from the button and cutoff. Tighten up significantly from early positions at a full table.
Watch how your opponents bet, what they show at showdown, and what patterns emerge. The info you gather in folded hands is just as valuable as any cards you play.
Never play stakes where losing your buy-in would stress you out. A good rule of thumb: have at least 20 buy-ins for the stakes you play regularly. Move down when needed.
Bad beats happen to everyone. The players who succeed long-term are those who can absorb a bad run without it affecting their decision-making on the next hand.
Use the hand history feature in your nustar g account to replay sessions after the fact. Identify spots where you could have folded earlier or extracted more value from strong hands.
Straight feedback from real players across the Philippines.
"I've been playing online poker for five years and nustar g has the most honest feel out of any local platform I've tried. The RNG feels fair, the players are real, and the Sunday Majors tournament is genuinely competitive. Placed 2nd last week and walked away with ₱28,000."
"The mobile interface is smooth — I can multi-table two cash games at once on my phone without any lag. GCash cashout every time, zero issues. I especially like the Zoom poker tables because I can put in a lot more hands per hour when I only have 45 minutes free."
"As someone who came from the live poker scene in Cebu, I was skeptical about going online. But nustar g changed my mind. The hand history tool is excellent for studying, the competition at medium stakes is beatable, and the freeroll daily tournament let me build my bankroll without any initial risk."
