Our story

Making poker better since 2011.

Since 2011, The Poker Timer has been trusted to run real poker tournaments, from weekly home games to events with some of the biggest names in poker.

What started as a simple tournament clock is now used by home games, poker clubs, leagues, charity events and tournament organisers around the world.

Wherever it runs, the job is the same: power a serious tournament without ever getting in the way.

Built in the real world

More than a poker clock

When the cards are in the air and a room full of players is looking at your screen, the software has to work.

That responsibility has shaped The Poker Timer from the beginning.

The first version did one thing really well: kept the blinds moving. Then our hosts asked for more.

Tournament structures. Breaks. Players. Rebuys. Add-ons. Knockouts. Payouts. Results. Big screens. Customisation.

So we kept building.

A few years ago, we rebuilt The Poker Timer from the ground up, taking everything we'd learned from years of real tournaments and creating the foundation for what comes next.

Today's Poker Timer is the result of listening to the people who actually run the games.

Trusted where it matters

From kitchen tables to tournament rooms

Some of our hosts run a game for friends once a month.

Others run poker clubs, leagues, multi-venue competitions, charity tournaments and major events with hundreds of players coming through their doors.

We love that The Poker Timer belongs in both.

Different rooms. Different stakes. Same expectation: when the tournament starts, the software needs to do its job.

And some of the communities using The Poker Timer have trusted us to do that for years.

What the hosts say

When running a Charity Series of Poker event, there are a ton of moving parts. I love how smoothly The Poker Timer runs and how easy it is to customize. It's one less thing I have to worry about.

The Poker Timer team listened and took my suggestion for a flash visual, and they made it happen. It really helps my deaf poker league, where players depend on the screen to see the next blind level coming.

Why The Poker Timer

Simple to run. Serious underneath.

Great tournament software should feel simple, even when what it is doing under the hood is not. The power belongs in the background, never cluttering the screen your players are watching.

So we sweat the things that actually matter in the room: a display that is clean and easy to read from across the hall, controls the host can find without looking, and tournament structures that just work.

We are not building this to chase screenshots or clout. We work with some of the biggest names in poker, and with the hosts who run games every week, to make the tournament itself better.

Every call comes back to one question: does this make the night easier to run and better to play in?

Where we're going

The clock was just the beginning.

After more than a decade building tools for tournament hosts, we're starting to connect the other half of the game: the players.

We are building towards a connected experience that reaches past the host to the players themselves, where a player's profile and history could travel with them from one game to the next.

Over time, that means better tournaments for hosts, a richer experience for players and stronger poker communities around the games they play.

We're building it the same way we've always built The Poker Timer: one release at a time, alongside the people who use it.

We've spent more than a decade perfecting the software behind the game.
Now we're building what happens around it.
