About 8 Ball Pool Online
8 Ball Pool Online is a full game of pool in your browser — a beautifully rendered top-down table with glossy balls, soft shadows, a proper cue, and physics that feel right: rolling friction, clean ball-to-ball collisions, cushion rebounds, and six hungry pockets. Create a room and share the link with a friend, or hit quick match to be paired with a random opponent. Standard 8-ball rules: the table is open until the first pot assigns solids or stripes, clear your group, then sink the 8-ball to win. Scratches and wrong-ball-first fouls give your opponent ball in hand. Drag on the table to aim — the guide line shows exactly where the cue ball will make contact and where the object ball will go — then pull the power slider and release to shoot. A shot clock keeps games moving, with reactions and quick chat to rub victories in. Free, no downloads, works on phones and desktops.

Frequently asked questions
How do I play 8 ball pool online with a friend?
Create a room to get a short code, share it or the invite link, and your friend joins from any device. Every shot plays out live on both screens.
Are the physics realistic?
Yes — the game simulates rolling friction, elastic ball collisions, cushion rebounds and pocket capture at 240 physics steps per second, so shots behave the way you'd expect on a real table.
What rules are used?
Standard 8-ball: open table until the first legal pot, pot your assigned group, then the 8-ball. Fouls (scratching, hitting the wrong group first, missing everything) give your opponent ball in hand. Potting the 8-ball early or scratching on the 8 loses the game.
Can I play against random opponents?
Yes — tap Quick match and you'll be paired with the next player searching. Games start automatically once matched.
