Does it deal or read cards?
No. Players use a real deck. At showdown, the host selects the winner or winners; the service does not inspect or rank cards.
The practical details, on the table.
Poker Without Chips is a companion for private, face-to-face poker nights. It is not a casino, wallet, or payment service.
Do players need accounts?
No. Private guest rooms use room codes and device credentials. Do not share a host or player link publicly.
Does it move money?
No. It records a private entertainment-game ledger and suggests settlement payments, but never accepts wagers, holds funds, or processes gambling payments.
How long is room data kept?
Inactive room, member, and game-event data expires automatically after 24 hours.
Is it free?
The product is currently free. Pricing may change prospectively, and no charge can occur without explicit purchase consent.
Who may use it?
The service is for adults age 18 or older. Users are responsible for following all laws and venue rules that apply to them.
