About

STACK

STACK is a chip tray for a real poker game. You deal real cards; STACK keeps the money straight. Everyone at the table opens the app, types the same four-letter code, and sees the same chips. Nothing to buy, nothing to count, nothing to lose down the side of the sofa. WHAT IT DOES • Tracks every stack, the pot, and the blinds • Knows whose turn it is, so nobody has to ask • Handles side pots when someone is all in — the part everyone gets wrong • Works out who owes who at the end, in the fewest payments possible • Re-buy any time; it all gets counted at settle-up BUILT FOR A REAL TABLE The app never sees your cards. You shuffle, you deal, you read each other across the table. STACK holds the chips and does the arithmetic, so the game stops pausing while five people argue about the maths. DROPPED SIGNAL? NO PROBLEM Phones lock and wifi drops. STACK puts you straight back in your seat, mid-hand, with your stack intact. NO ACCOUNTS, NO ADS No sign-up, no email address, no advertising, no tracking. Open it, type a code, play.
