Xeester is a powerful tool for all online poker players. Its possibilities are numerous and its price is very reasonable. We will present you here an easy guide to test the software for free for 30 days. We will guide you, step by step, for a trouble-free installation. Remember that using a HUD and a tracker is a huge advantage for any online poker player, whether you are a beginner or an advanced player, no matter what your playing limit is
Before guiding you to your first steps with Xeester, let's list some of the software's positive points
1- Xeester is 100% French software. It was created by well-known members of the French poker community including Thibaut "popotib" Durand, R&D Manager at Xeester and amateur poker player, Denis "rivaci" Rivas, founder of Xeester and amateur poker player and Laurent "macqueen" Bachelet, Product Manager at Xeester and professional poker player
2- As it was created by French players, the software is in French, which is always pleasant when you don't master Shakespeare's language very well
3- Xeester works on both French and international platforms since the X2 version. For example, it can be used on PokerStars.com
4- Xeester works by annual subscription according to our player profile. We pay annually according to our needs. Moreover, you will be able to use Xeester on all your computers without any problems. As long as the uses are not simultaneous
5- Version X2 offers several improvements over version 1, such as the possibility to use the software for our Omaha games. Here is the list of improvements of the software compared to the first version:
- New ergonomics
- Complete hand analysis module
- Omaha support
- French/English multilingual version
6- The support is very efficient and reactive. And it's a pleasure to be able to write to them in French! On the official website, you can also use the discussion forums to join the growing Xeester community (almost 60,000 to date). You will be able to discuss basic issues such as the installation of the software as well as more specific strategy questions
7- Xeester can be tested for free for 30 days. The trial version allows us to play all the limits both in tournaments and cash games. A good time to get familiar with the software without spending any money

Frequently Asked Questions
Here is a list of the most frequently asked questions. We hope you'll find the answers you're looking for.
What is the rate to use Xeester?
Here are the different packages available to you according to your playing limit
You pay your subscription annually according to the limit you play at. This is a very interesting option for a micro-limit player, for example. Let's say you've just started playing online poker and you're playing no-limit Hold'em at €5 (with blinds at €0.02/€0.05). You have deposited €100 in a poker room. This player profile will probably be reluctant to invest €100 in a conventional tracker, not knowing if the investment will be worth the cost to them. This is why the "Micro-Games" option at €9.99 per year is interesting
The investment will be much smaller, without any long-term commitment. After the year has passed, you can then review your needs and adjust. You pay for your needs only
What are the minimum requirements to use Xeester?
Minimum system requirements: AMD or Intel Core 1.0 GHz / 4 GB RAM
Optimum configuration: Intel Core i5 or i7 2.67 GHz minimum / 8 GB RAM or more
Video card: 1024x768 resolution is required
As is the case with all software of this kind (tracker, HUD), an electronic hard disk (SSD) is suggested to improve the browsing speed in Xeester
