How to settle up after a game night
The end of the night should take two minutes, not twenty. Here's how to make that happen.
Why settling up goes wrong
Most end-of-night confusion comes from the same place: nobody wrote down the rebuys, two people remember different pots, and the winners are trying to work out who owes what while everyone wants to go home. The fix isn't a spreadsheet — it's recording every buy-in the moment it happens, while everyone can see it.
The fewest possible payments
If five people owe money and three people won, you don't need fifteen transfers. Potsplitr nets everyone's position — total in versus total out — and works out the smallest set of person-to-person payments that settles everyone exactly. Usually that's two or three transfers for a whole table.
Confirm each payment
However you actually pay — cash, bank transfer, whatever your group uses — the receiving player taps "Mark received" in the game. Everyone watching sees the settlement checklist fill in live, and when every payment is confirmed the game archives itself. Potsplitr never holds, moves or verifies the money; it keeps the record.
Keep the history
Settled games stay on every player's profile: profit and loss over time, payment ratings for how promptly people settle, and a Hall of Fame for tournament wins. Next time someone says "I definitely paid you last month", the answer is one tap away.
Works for more than poker
The same ledger settles bingo nights, quiz nights, race nights, sweepstakes, golf, darts and anything else with a pot. Create a game, share the code, record what people put in, and let the settlement list do the arithmetic.
