Can I use the app today?

Proper Poker is available to invited testers through a private TestFlight beta for iPhone and iPad. The screens here use sample data. Ask about private beta access. A public App Store release has not been announced.

Does Proper Poker process payments?

No. It records the amounts, payment methods and recipients you enter. It does not move cash, accept crypto, connect wallets or collect payments.

How is free play different from credit?

Free play is tracked separately from money a player owes. In the example used here, $1,000 in free play with $600 returned means $400 of house cost, no payout and no player debt. Credit remains a receivable until it is settled. Read the poker-night closeout guide for examples of separate funding and settlement records.

What if we pay a staff member later?

The prototype separates compensation earned from payment. Record cash or crypto payments, leave an amount outstanding, and see the balance in the staff record. Paying it later should not count the same expense twice.

Can my game use different chips and splits?

Yes. The prototype supports game-specific chip denominations and colors, custom staff percentages, flat or hourly compensation, and partner shares.

Can partners work in the same game?

The private beta has individual accounts, workspace access roles and shared game records for approved operators. Shared records are still being tested across iPhone and iPad. Explore the app’s game-management tools.

What can I share after the game?

PDF reports can cover the whole night or focus on players, dealers, staff and partners, with optional charts for dealer rake, collection timing and costs. The sample above shows the report format using illustrative data.
