FOUNDING HOSTS

Built for hosts who care who sits at the table.

PokerMeet helps Southern California hosts run better recurring private home games, and gives approved Founding Coaches room to support creator-led training with the same private-home standards. External beta is live on iPhone via TestFlight. We are inviting a limited group of founding hosts and Founding Coaches to help shape the early public beta before broader player access.

THIS PAGE IS FOR YOU IF...

You already know what makes a good table.

You host recurring games

Weekly, biweekly, monthly, or otherwise consistent home games.

You care who joins

You want approvals before private details move anywhere.

You want less chaos

You are tired of scattered chats, unclear seat status, and last-minute confusion.

You want to help shape the product

Founding hosts and coaches influence the experience before PokerMeet expands more broadly.

WHY FOUNDING HOSTS MATTER

Strong hosts create stable communities.

PokerMeet only works when good hosts bring it to life. The best private games have more than seats - they have rhythm, trust, and a table people want to return to.

That is why we are starting with hosts who already run recurring games and coaches who can support creator-led training. Founding hosts and coaches help set the tone, improve the product, and create the kind of early community that makes PokerMeet worth joining.

Founding-host standard

Stability. Consistency. Community. That starts with the right hosts.

FAQ

Answers for hosts before onboarding starts.

Founding-host and Founding Coach access is selective, privacy-first, and still coordination-only.

Who is the best fit to become a founding host?

The strongest fit is someone already running recurring private home games in Southern California who cares about table quality, privacy, and host control.

Do I need an established game already?

That is the highest-priority fit, but we’re also open to people preparing to host intentionally and consistently.

Will my address be public?

No. PokerMeet is designed so address details stay hidden until host approval and reveal timing.

Does PokerMeet handle money or payouts?

No. PokerMeet is a coordination platform for private home games. It does not handle payments, rake, or payouts.

Is the beta live right now?

Yes. The current external beta is live on iPhone via TestFlight.

Can players join too?

Yes. Players can join the beta, but founding-host and Founding Coach onboarding are the priority paths because strong local communities start with trusted hosts and teachers.
