Poker night should be easier to organize than a long group chat. Who is coming? Is there still a seat? Where did the host send the latest details?

PokerMeet brings those plans together, while keeping hosts in control of their guest lists and private addresses. We have reached a new milestone: our latest iPhone build has been approved for external beta testing through Apple's TestFlight.

Access remains invitation-only for selected adults 21 and older. The public Demo is available now for anyone who wants to see how PokerMeet works with sample data.

Real PokerMeet web screens use sample demo data. The people and games shown are examples, not currently available listings.

A clearer way to plan poker night

PokerMeet helps players explore game details, request a seat, and keep track of their plans. Hosts can review requests and manage who joins their table.

Players see the general area first. Exact addresses become available only after the host approves the player, required safety checks pass, and the event's reveal window is active. Hosts can use Panic Hide to remove address visibility for non-hosts immediately.

What this beta means

This stage lets us prepare for feedback from a small group of invited testers before broader access. We want practical feedback on understanding game details, requesting and reviewing seats, finding plans, and following account-access instructions.

External TestFlight approval is a beta-testing milestone; it does not open public account creation or mark a public App Store launch. An invitation to test PokerMeet does not grant access to a particular game: hosts still decide who attends.

Southern California remains our host-growth focus, and people across the United States can follow their county for future updates. Public game listings and public Discovery hosting expand through reviewed regions as local readiness develops.

Follow the next step

If you have not received an invitation, you can try the public Demo or join your County Launch List. Joining the list records your interest; it does not create an account or guarantee a beta invitation or a seat.

PokerMeet provides coordination tools for private poker nights. It does not operate games or handle wagers, rake, payments, or payouts.
