   short answer is that if your asking the question – then definately dont try to setup a poker room … even a white label / skin on a network
   In order to build a sucessful skin of a poker room – ignoring the IT logistics – you would need somwhere in the region of $1m just for the marketing budget to even stand a chance of making it
   There are literally 1000’s of poker rooms online – across maybe 12 networks that would be worth working with (and many more that arent worth bothering with)
   if you find any other “turnkey” type poker room offers – run a mile
   They’ll either be out and out scams or they will be selling you a skin / white label on a wholly unsucessful network with near zero players.
   With a skin solution there ARE some good ones who handle pretty much all the IT / logistical issues and day to day running of the poker room – but they will want to know that you / your company has decent funds (eg. something approaching $1m at least in backup) for marketing your new site and making it a successful addition to their network – if they’re not worried how well sorted you are – then they wont be any good.
   In terms of setting up a poker room from scratch / software / IT etc – that is a whole different ball park figure and will be well over $1m
   might not be the answer you were looking for – I’m assuming you wanted a poker room setup as a business
   if you just wanted an online table for you to play with your friends – most sites will happily setup private games for you if you contact support – some have easy setup in a private tournament lobby

   Just get the software and upload it to a host. The software is not public so you will probably have to code your own.
   The server runs the game and you need to put a client on your website that users can use, I recommend embedding a poker flash client.

   I wouldn’t do that because of all those computers transferring information back and forth.
   I would rather search for white label poker solutions, that is joining already existing poker network with your own brand name.

   getting a gambling license would probably be a good idea.
