Your first night with Pokr Club, start to finish. Each step takes a minute or less.

  1. 1

    Step 1: Create the game

    Tap Create, name it, and pick when and where. The defaults are good for a first night; you can change anything in the lobby until you start. Create a game has the details.

    Step 2: Get people in

    Your lobby has a 4-character join code. Share it, or tap Invite to ask people you've played with. Players see the general area only; the exact address is for the people you accept. Invite players

    Step 5: Start game

    The clock runs on our servers, so a phone that falls asleep or a dropped connection doesn't lose time. Use Pause for a break you didn't plan, and Next level if you want to move on early.

    Step 6: When someone's out, tap Knocked out

    And pick who knocked them out. Made a mistake? Undo puts them back. Rebuy and Add-on are there if your game allows them.

    End game

    Step 8: Square up

    The results page shows who's owed what. Pay each winner, tap Mark paid and pick how you paid; the player gets a note and taps Got it once the money lands. Square up
