Poker night should end with your friends laughing — not hunched over a napkin arguing about who owes what. SquareUp is the effortless way to run the money side of home poker. Track every buy-in as it happens, count the final chip stacks, and let SquareUp do the messy math for you. In one tap it tells you exactly who pays whom — with the fewest payments possible, so nobody's sending five separate Venmos at midnight. THE FASTEST WAY TO SQUARE UP • Log buy-ins live during the game — rebuys, add-ons, latecomers, all of it • Count everyone's chips at the end and SquareUp reconciles it instantly • Get a clean "who pays whom" list with the minimum number of transfers • Copy the results straight into your group chat CLIMB THE LEADERBOARD • Every session feeds a running leaderboard for your crew • See who's up, who's down, and who's the table's reigning champ • Season-long standings turn each poker night into the next round of a rivalry • Settle the "I always beat you" debate once and for all — with real numbers BUILT FOR YOUR REGULAR CREW • Create a group for your poker night and invite friends with a simple code • Everyone joins in seconds — no accounts to fumble with • Run session after session without re-entering a thing KEEP SCORE ALL SEASON • Automatic standings track your net earnings across every night you've played • Watch your bankroll climb (or your bragging rights slip) game after game • Bring receipts to the group chat when someone talks big NO MORE • Napkin math and mental arithmetic • "Wait, how much did you buy in for?" • Awkward IOUs that never get paid back • One person eating the rounding every week SquareUp keeps the cash side clean and the competition fierce, so the night stays fun. Set up your first table in under a minute — then just play. SquareUp is a private scorekeeping and settlement tool for friendly home games. It does not process payments, host real-money play, or offer gambling of any kind.
