Snooker Pool is free pool and snooker in your browser that plays like the real table. Balls slide, roll and spin the way they do on cloth, cushions throw them back at true angles, and a hard break spreads the whole rack. Play 8-ball, 9-ball, 10-ball, Blackball, snooker with 6, 10 or 15 reds, or Killer for up to eight players.

Play the computer at five levels from Rookie to Master, a friend on one device (doubles too), or online: Create a room gives a six-letter code to send, Join a room takes a friend's code, and Quick match finds a waiting player. Friends can watch a room and cheer with emoji; there is no text chat.

Solo, there are 24 trick shots in four chapters with stars for fewer shots, a Daily Trick Shot, Rack Rush against a 90 second clock and the Cup, three knockout matches against rising computer players. Stars unlock table themes and cue looks. Nothing is sold, and every cue plays the same.

How to play pool and snooker here

  1. Choose a game: 8-ball, 9-ball, 10-ball, Blackball, Snooker or Killer. For 8-ball pick Casual or Pro (WPA) rules, then play the computer, a friend or an online room.
  2. Aim by dragging anywhere on the table: the cue turns around the white ball. Tap a ball to aim straight at it, and use the fine-aim wheel for the last small turn.
  3. The short guideline shows where the white meets the first ball and a short stub of each path after contact. It never draws a line into the pocket, so judging the pot is up to you.
  4. Pull the power bar down and let go to shoot; slide it back to the top to cancel. The spin button sets where the cue tip strikes the white: high for follow, low for draw, left or right for side.
  5. In 8-ball the first ball you pot gives you solids or stripes; clear your group, then call a pocket for the 8 and pot it there. In 9-ball and 10-ball always hit the lowest numbered ball first.
  6. In snooker pot a red, then a colour, while reds remain, then the colours in order from yellow to black. A foul gives your opponent at least 4 points, and they choose who plays next.
  7. A foul gives the other side the white in hand: drag it to a good spot inside the shaded area, then aim. Potting the white, hitting the wrong ball first or hitting nothing are fouls.

Controls

Drag on the table to aim, tap a ball to aim at it, turn the fine-aim wheel for small steps, pull the power bar down and let go to shoot, and tap the spin button to set spin. On a keyboard the arrow keys aim (with Shift for fine steps), holding Space builds power and releasing it shoots, S opens spin, H shows a hint and R replays the last shot.

Balls that roll true, the same on every screen

The table is a true WPA 9 foot pool table or a WPBSA 12 foot snooker table. Each ball slides, then rolls, and its spin dies away the way it does on real cloth; cushions throw balls back the way a real rail does, so banks and kicks land where a player expects. Big balls are on by default, like the popular pool apps, and a setting gives true tournament size. Online, the room checks every shot and plays it the same for everyone, so every player sees the same result.

Harder than the apps, fair to everyone

The default guideline stops at the first contact, so you judge the pot yourself, and the full guideline is an opt-in aid that both players get. The computer reads only the table and misses like a person; it never gets better luck. Racks come from the secure random generator, and online racks are committed before the break and revealed after it, so you can check that nobody changed them.

Rooms for friends, watchers and doubles

An online room takes two players, or four for doubles, with up to 16 watchers. Players see each other aim live, a shot clock keeps the game moving, and if someone drops out the computer covers for them for a while. A fixed set of friendly emoji replaces chat, and nobody needs an account or a name.

Tips for potting more balls

  • Aim at the ghost ball, not the object ball: the white has to arrive where it touches the object ball on the line to the pocket.
  • Use less power than you think. A firm, medium shot keeps the white under control and leaves the next shot easier.
  • Plan two shots ahead. Pot the ball that leaves the white near your next ball, not only the easiest pot on the table.
  • Draw (low spin) stops the white or pulls it back; follow (high spin) sends it forward after contact. Side spin changes how the white leaves a cushion.
  • When no pot is on, play safe: roll the white behind a ball your opponent cannot use, and let them make the mistake.
  • Watch the replay after a miss. The R key or the replay button shows the shot again, slowly if you like, so you can see what went wrong.

Frequently asked questions

Can I play pool and snooker online for free here?

Yes. Every mode is free: the computer at all five levels, pass and play, online rooms, Quick match, trick shots, the Daily Trick Shot, Rack Rush and the Cup. There are no ads on our site, no shop and no sign-up.

How do I play 8-ball against the computer?

Choose 8-Ball, pick Casual or Pro rules, then Play the computer and a level from Rookie to Master. Break, take solids or stripes with your first pot, clear your group and pot the 8 in the pocket you call.

Does the computer cheat?

No. The computer sees the same table you do, and its balls roll the same way yours do. Lower levels aim less precisely and misjudge power more often; it never gets better racks or luckier rolls.

Can I play with a friend?

Yes. Pass and play shares one device, for two players, two teams of two, or up to eight in Killer. Online, Create a room gives a six-letter code and a link to send, and your friend joins with it; others can join the same code to watch.

What snooker rules are used?

The WPBSA rules in plain words: reds and colours, fouls worth at least 4 points, the free ball after a foul that leaves you snookered, the choice to make the offender play again, re-spotted colours and a re-spotted black on a tie. A simple miss rule lets you have the balls put back after a foul that missed every ball on.

Why is there no line into the pocket?

To keep the game a test of skill. The default guideline shows only the first contact and short stubs. You can switch to the full guideline in Settings before a match; it then applies to both sides.

Is there a daily challenge?

Yes. The Daily Trick Shot is one layout a day, the same for everyone, with unlimited tries and stars for fewer shots, and a share card that shows your result without giving the solution away.

Can I stop and finish a game later?

Yes. A game against the computer or a friend on one device is saved in this browser after every shot, and the menu offers Continue. The exit button asks whether to keep the game, end it or play on.
