GameID was developed with the main objective of creating a communication and interactivity bridge between you and the clubs and live events you participate in or want to participate in. From the moment you create a GameID record, we will connect that record with various poker clubs and live events. What is GameID not? • GameID is not a platform for games, what we will do is connect you to clubs and live events. • GameID does not own a club, nor does it manage tournaments or events. Events and Clubs Get access to various event or club information in real time: • Levels of blinds of each tournament; • Clock regression of blind levels; • Quantities of registered and remaining players; • Prize ranges. • Your enrollment history; • Access to position tickets issued to you; For events, it is still possible to have access to: • Tournament grid; • Summary and statement of your current account at the event. Make your own registrations With GameID, it will be possible for you to make your own registrations, without the need to go to the club or event cashiers, avoiding having to face queues. We offer several methods for you to register: • Use your balance at the club or at the event (either using a positive balance or the credit limit made available to you by the organization); • Use vacancy tickets that were issued in your name; An alternative method will be to register via GameID and pay directly at the club or event cashier. This format provides greater agility in addition to significantly reducing the time it will take to complete your service. (Several clubs and events, GameID partners, will have exclusive boxes for this type of service) Development GameID was developed and is managed by PokerWeb. The leading company in poker management solutions in Latin America. Learn more at https://pokerweb.com.br

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PokerTimer at 76% against GameID's 0%. PokerTimer also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 2). GameID's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PokerTimer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. GameID asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

GameID holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PokerTimer has 1.3K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of PokerTimer's written reviews are positive against 0% of GameID's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PokerTimer ships an update every 3 months, GameID every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and August 24, 2026 respectively.
