Buy-In & Cash-Out Tracker for Home Poker Games
Track every dollar that goes in and out of your game — in real time, from your phone. No spreadsheets. No missing money.
The Problem
You're hosting a home cash game. Three players buy in. One re-buys. Another tops up. Someone leaves early. By the end of the night, you're staring at a pile of Venmo requests trying to figure out if the numbers add up.
Sound familiar? This is the #1 pain point for home game hosts — and exactly why Cash Game Host exists.
How Cash Game Host Tracks Your Game
Record Buy-Ins Instantly
When a player sits down, tap their name and enter the amount. That's it. Re-buys and top-ups work the same way — every dollar in is recorded with a timestamp.
Stakes presets (1/2, 1/3, 2/5, and more) suggest standard buy-in amounts so you can record them with one tap.
Bulk Buy-Ins
Everyone buying in for the same amount? Use bulk buy-in to give every player (or selected players) a standard amount in one action. Perfect for the start of the night.
Cash Out — One at a Time or All at Once
As players count their chips, record each cash-out individually. Or use Cash Out All — a single screen where you enter every player's final stack at once.
Bank Balance Verification
Before you close a game, Cash Game Host verifies that total buy-ins equal total cash-outs. If the bank doesn't balance, something was recorded wrong — and the app tells you before you try to settle.
Expense Splitting (Built In)
Someone ordered pizza? Log the expense, choose who splits it (all players, all except the payer, specific players, or whoever was at the table when the order was placed), and the cost is automatically factored into settlement.
Automatic Settlement
Once everyone is cashed out and the bank balances, the app computes the fewest transfers needed to settle all debts. Copy the settlement text and drop it in your group chat. Done.

Get Started FreeFrequently Asked Questions
Do my players need to create accounts?
No. You manage all players as the host. They don't need to download anything or sign up.
Can I handle re-buys and top-ups?
Yes. Every additional buy-in is recorded the same way as the initial one. The app tracks the total money in per player.
What happens if the bank doesn't balance?
The app flags the discrepancy and won't let you close the game until buy-ins equal cash-outs (within 1 cent for rounding).
How does settlement work?
The app computes the minimum number of transfers needed to settle all debts. You can copy the settlement as text or use the clearinghouse mode where you act as the intermediary.
Can I track expenses like food?
Yes. Log any shared expense, choose how to split it (4 modes available), and the cost is automatically factored into the end-of-night settlement.
