The Details
What each benefit means
Live Play
Live Play lets you play in real time with other premium members from around the world. No shuffling, no scoring math, and no commute to a brick-and-mortar club. Chat live with your table using the audio chat feature. You can even set a password to keep your regular games private. Live Play is available twenty-four hours a day and is exclusive to Premium members.
CLA Membership
The Canasta League of America (CLA) is the authority on Modern American Canasta rules and play. Through our partnership with the CLA, Canasta Junction covers CLA dues for every CJ Premium Member who chooses to join.
✓ Exclusive strategic content
✓ A space to connect with League members and instructors
✓ Certified blog articles
✓ Your official CLA member title
✓ Periodic conversations with certified CLA Teachers
No Ads
Both Ad-Free Member and Premium Member tiers remove advertising entirely, so you can play without interruption.
Robots
Practice anytime against a robot opponent. Guest plays against a Basic robot; Ad-Free Member and Premium Member can choose between Basic or Advanced robots for a sharper challenge.
Duplicate Tournaments
In Duplicate, every player is dealt the identical hand, so the only variable is skill. Games follow the Tournament format — six hands with meld requirements of 125-155-180-125-155-180. Special Duplicate tournaments are available with both Ad-Free Member and Premium Member tiers.
Entry Gift
Every membership includes a welcome gift of CJ Tokens: 50 for guests, 100 for Ad-Free members, and 150 for premium members.
Free Trial
Join as a new member and enjoy a free-trial period. New basic members receive 7 free days. Join directly as a Premium member and get 14 days free!
Pricing
Select the plan best suited to you
Guest remains entirely free, a fitting starting point for those still getting around Canasta Junction. Ad-Free memberships allow you to play without interruption, for a modest monthly fee. And considering the value of a CLA Membership alone, the Premium membership represents remarkable value for those wishing to enjoy the full Modern American Canasta experience that CJ offers.
