This is how players get in

Room QR code in the TV lobby

Scan the invite QR from the lobby or the table.

Entering the room code on a phone

Or tap “Join a game” and type the 6-digit code.

Guest entry with a name field and join button

Or open the invite link. Enter your name and tap “Join” — a free seat is chosen automatically.

Your phone is the controller

With a shared screen connected, your phone shows your cards and actions. “Table” opens a brief preview that closes after 10 seconds or when your turn begins. Without a shared screen, the table appears automatically.

Peeking at your cards with a swipe on a phone

Drag your cards up to peek.

Action buttons and the bet slider on a phone

Action buttons and the bet slider show up on your turn — about a minute to decide.

Sending a reaction from the phone to the shared screen

You can send reactions to the shared screen.

Auto check/fold toggle on a phone

Plan ahead — set auto check or fold before the turn reaches you.
