When games are organized in group chats, host addresses can spread fast and stay searchable forever.
PokerMeet is designed to prevent that by default.
Strict access controls in the data layer
Our systems enforce strict row-level access controls so address data is not broadly queryable. Access is limited to the specific users and conditions required by product rules.
Secure reveal window
Even after a seat is approved, the exact address remains hidden until the reveal window near game start.
Panic Hide support
If a host uses Panic Hide, address visibility is removed immediately for non-host users.
Privacy first, not optional
Address protection is not a preference toggle. It is a core safety requirement in how PokerMeet works.
You focus on running a great table. We focus on keeping location privacy locked down.

PokerMeet is live in external beta on iPhone, and the waitlist is the best way to follow new counties, demo access, and founding-host onboarding. If you already run recurring games in Southern California, apply to become a founding host.
PokerMeet is a private-home coordination platform. It does not handle payments, rake, or payouts.
