Bottom line, where can I play Monopoly Online?
Want to play Monopoly online against live opponents? Here's where you can play today! Most of these sites are free, or very low in price. Some do require that you own the Monopoly game. I'll let you know about special deals the commercial sites offer. If you know of a site we haven't mentioned here, please e-mail and let us know. I've added hyperlinks for each of these online Monopoly sites on the Weblinks section. You may find others there as well.
psMonopoly's Online Monopoly Games (right here)
psMonopoly now offers two versions of Monopoly online:
- Java Monopoly - Our classic Java Monopoly allows two players, on the same PC to play against one another. Since it's written in Java, it will run on virtually any computer, as long as you have Java installed.
- Multiplayer Monopoly - This newer offering allows players to play over the web. Games allow up to six players, each with their own internet connected PC. We provide a free program which runs on windows and linux computers, allowing remote play and chat. Our software is virus and adware free, so there's nothing to worry about. Find opponents on our site, or play with your friends and family. It's always free to play. To defray costs, however, we ask that you sign up for a free trial with one of our sponsors. You'll be able to play here even if you choose not to subscribe to the service!
Opensource Monopoly Servers
The open source community has created a few sites where to play Monopoly online, including "monopd" and "Kapitalist". The software to run or play on one of these servers is free (Open Source Licensing), so either use one of the servers out there, or host your own.
There are a few places you can play Monopoly online with monopd (e.g., solarium.devnullteam.org). You'll need to install monopd software on your computer first, of course. You have several options like "Atlantik", available for Linux only, and "gtkAtlantic" for Linux and Windows, and others. Others may be available soon, including a Java, web-based client, that psmonopoly would be glad to host for the playing community. Check out our Weblinks section to get a copy, and further information on how to play online in another article on this site.
Casesladder Online
Casesladder Online supports Monopoly (version 1) CD only. You need to be a member of the free league. You'll have to create an account (for free), log on, go into "Categories", then "Chat" under community, to find the Monopoly lobby. The league here is pretty busy at most hours.
IRCopoly
IRCopoly is an IRC based monopoly type game. It uses mozbot for game play via irc, and adds php for web based game play. It is in early development, and the alpha is hosted at irc.freenode.net #ircopoly. Visit them at ircopoly.com for more information.
