HostMyPoker manages the tournament information: blind structures, breaks, the venue clock, player registration and host-confirmed updates. Your venue supplies and manages the physical cards, chips, tables, entries and prizes.
Do players need to download an app or create an account?
No. Players open the player join page in their phone browser, enter the four-digit table code and add their name. The host can also register players from the host controls.
What equipment does the venue need?
You need cards, chips and tables, a phone, tablet or laptop for the host, a TV or projector for the venue clock, and an internet connection. Test the host and screen setup before the first event.
Who confirms knockouts and rebuys?
The host stays in control. Players can send knockout or rebuy requests from their phones, and the host confirms the update. HostMyPoker records tournament information; the venue handles payments and prizes.
