A STANDING TABLE FOR YOUR OWN CREW
Poker Night
Same night, same table, same crew: a private table with a weekly join code, friends and video, kept every week.
How it plays
One recurring slot: Friday 8pm, same seats, every week until the host ends it. The shared join code rotates every week, and whichever code someone arrives with, it only puts them at the door: the host or a co-host decides who is let in, and someone turned away cannot knock on that night again for a week.
Host up to three nights of your own; each holds up to 16 people, six of whom can sit and play while the rest watch from the rail (video and quick chat are for the seated players).
Doors open 30 minutes before your slot, and the table stays live for up to six hours after start, so a game that runs long is never cut off.
The lobby keeps your next night in front of you: the day, the time and how many have said they are in, with a one-tap reminder that fires the moment the doors open. When a friend sits down at a public table, the app can tell you, so you never miss the game because nobody said.
Step by step
- Set your night
Pick a recurring weekly slot and share the six-character code with your crew.
- Let them RSVP
Everyone answers I’m in, so you know who is coming before you sit.
- Open the doors
Doors open 30 minutes early; the host or a co-host lets people in.
- Deal when it is time
Six can sit and play and the rest watch from the rail, for up to six hours.

Questions
Can anyone with the join code sit down and play?
No. A code puts you on the host’s door list; the host or a co-host still has to let you in.
How often does the join code change?
Every week. An old code still only reaches the door: nobody sits down unless the host or a co-host lets them in.
How many people can join a Poker Night?
Up to 16 per night, with 6 seats able to sit and play and the rest watching from the rail. Video and quick chat are for the seated players; the rail sees avatars.
Will the app remind me when my Poker Night starts?
Yes, if you ask it to. The lobby shows your next night with a Remind Me switch; the reminder fires when the doors open, and you can turn it off from the same place or from Settings.
How do I know when my friends are playing?
The lobby shows the live number of people at the tables, never a made-up figure, and when a friend sits down at a public table the app can send you a notification with a link straight to that table. It respects your quiet hours and a daily cap.
