How PokerOS works
Run a full home-poker tournament from your phone or iPad — create, share, check in, run the clock, bust and pay out, and publish results. Here's everything, step by step.
Watch a full game run
Sign up & your club
1Create an account and your own private poker club in seconds.
- 1Tap Create an account — enter your name, club name, email and a password.
- 2You're taken straight to your dashboard; a new club is created for you.
- 3Everything you do (tournaments, players, stats) is private to your club.
- 4Log in from any device; sign out from the sidebar.

Dashboard
2Your club at a glance — the live game, quick actions, and season stats.
- 1See your current or next tournament up top with its live clock.
- 2Tap Manage tournament to run it, or TV mode for a room screen.
- 3Stat cards show tournaments, players, prize pools run and average field.

Create a tournament
3A 5-step wizard: Name → Template → Settings → Blinds → Publish.
- 1Pick a template (Turbo, Deepstack, Bounty, Championship) for sensible defaults.
- 2Settings: buy-in, stack, level length, seats, ante, re-buys/add-ons, buy-in cutoff and bounty.
- 3Edit the blind & ante levels, add breaks, and set the prize split (e.g. 50/30/20).
- 4Publish — you get a QR code and a shareable registration link. (Uses 1 credit.)

Prize split, bounty & buy-in cutoff
4Fine-tune the money and the rules right in the Settings step.
- 1Prize split: choose a preset (Winner-takes-all, 50/30/20…) or set custom % per place — off-100% is auto-scaled.
- 2Bounty: turn on knockout prizes and set the amount (taken from the buy-in).
- 3Buy-in cutoff: toggle “Stop buy-ins after a certain level” to close registration/re-buys/add-ons late in the game.

Registration & check-in
5Players register from their phone; you check them in at the door.
- 1Share the link/QR — players enter name + phone and get a QR ticket.
- 2On the Check-in screen, scan their QR or tap their name.
- 3Add walk-ins on the spot, even without a phone number.

Run the tournament
6One screen to control the whole game — clock, seating and players.
- 1Press Start — everyone is auto-seated and the blind clock begins.
- 2Pause / Resume / Next blind control the clock (it survives page reloads).
- 3Tap any player to edit chips, move seat, add-on, or bust them.
- 4Busts record finishing position automatically; re-buy & undo are one tap.
- 5Hit End any time to finalise and publish results.

Bounties (knockouts)
7Put a prize on each player's head for every knockout.
- 1Enable bounty when creating the tournament and set the amount.
- 2When you bust a player, pick who knocked them out — they win the bounty.
- 3The Bounty hunters board tracks knockouts and winnings live.
TV mode
8A big, dark, castable board for a screen in the room.
- 1Tap Open TV mode from the live screen — it opens a public fullscreen view.
- 2Shows the clock, blinds, prize pool and chip leaders, readable across a room.
- 3Cast it to any TV or open on a spare laptop/tablet.

Results
9Auto-ranked standings and a shareable winner image.
- 1When the game ends, final places and payouts are calculated instantly.
- 2Each player's total reward (prize + bounty) and final chips are shown.
- 3Export the winner image for Facebook / IG / LINE.

Players, rankings & analytics
10Every event feeds your club's community stats.
- 1Players directory ranks members by wins, with tournaments attended / ITM%.
- 2Rankings show the season podium and standings by wins.
- 3Analytics chart prize pools, field sizes and top winners.

Credits
11Pay per tournament — no subscription.
- 1Each published tournament uses one credit.
- 2Buy credits in Settings: 1 for ฿39, 30 for ฿990, or 100 for ฿2,900.
- 3Pay securely via Stripe — card or PromptPay — credits are added automatically.
- 4Admins can also add credits manually from the Admin menu (PIN-protected).
Club settings
12Manage your club details and buy tournament credits.
- 1Edit your club name, country and timezone in Settings; changes reflect across the app.
