Cash Game Host — Product Guide

Cash Game Host is built for you, the host. You sign in, create games, and manage everything from one place:

• Track money in and out — buy-ins, cash-outs, re-buys, and shared expenses (pizza, drinks, etc.)
• Calculate settlement — when you close a game, the app tells you exactly who owes whom
• Keep player stats — lifetime results, profit, ROI, and game history for every player

All games and players are tied to your account. Only you (the host) can edit, close, reopen a game, and manage the clearinghouse.

1. Create or Open a Game

• New game: Tap Start Game on the Games page.
• Existing game: Tap any game card to open it.
• Game settings: Edit name, location, and stakes from the game screen. Stakes are optional and for your reference.

2. Add Players

• Use Add Player on the game screen, or go to the Add Players page for bulk actions.
• Bulk add from last game — add everyone from your previous game in one tap.
• Create new players — type a name, they're saved for future games.

3. Record Transactions

While the game is open, record:

4. Close the Game & Settle Up

1. Close the game — the app runs a bank balance check (total in = total out) before closing.
2. View settlement — a list of transfers (e.g. “Alice owes Bob $20”). Copy it and send to your group.
3. Use the clearinghouse — mark collections and payouts as they come in so you know who has settled.

When you add an expense, choose how to split it:

The payer is always reimbursed. Expenses are factored into settlement automatically.

Instead of players paying each other directly, the host acts as the intermediary:

1. Losers send their balance to the host
2. The host pays all winners
3. Track status — mark each collection and payout as complete

This reduces the number of transactions and puts one person (you) in control.

Store payment handles for each player:

You can scan QR codes from a player's Venmo or Cash App profile to capture their handle, and generate payment links for quick settlement.

The Stats page shows lifetime results across all your games, for every player:

• Net profit
• ROI
• Games played
• Biggest win & biggest loss
• Time played
• Average net per game

Tap any player to see their full game-by-game history.

1. Start with a test game — create a game, add 2–3 players, record a few buy-ins and a cash-out, then close and look at the settlement.
2. Use “Bulk add from last game” — saves time when you host the same group weekly.
3. Use the clearinghouse — after closing, mark transfers as collected/paid so nothing slips.
4. Copy the settlement — send it to your group chat so everyone knows who pays whom.
5. Reopen if needed — forgot a buy-in or expense? Reopen, fix it, close again.
