Host guidelines
Hosts shape the table before the night begins.
PokerMeet is a coordination and safety layer for private homes. The strongest host posture is simple: review the roster intentionally, protect the address, and keep the room within the stated standards.
21+ onlyInvite-only homesPrivate-home posture
Roster control
Every seat is approved by the host.
The guest list should never behave like an open signup sheet for a private home.
Address privacy
Location details move only after approval and timing.
Private-home visibility is the last step, not the first thing a browser sees.
Operating boundary
Hosts run the night. PokerMeet handles the coordination layer around it.
The platform is there for approvals, trust, and safety rather than publicizing the room itself.
Operating standard
The room should feel curated before anyone arrives.
Use these guidelines as the baseline for how your table appears in the product and how it actually runs once guests are approved.
Private-home posture
Keep the table private before it becomes personal.
- Keep games invite-only and avoid public promotion of private homes.
- Keep the address hidden until approval and the reveal window.
Approvals first
Hosts own the guest list from request to arrival.
- Approve every request intentionally and decline anyone you cannot vet.
- Use panic hide immediately if the event should no longer be visible to non-hosts.
Room standards
Describe the night honestly and run it within the stated boundaries.
- Keep capacity, stakes, format, and timing accurate inside the listing.
- Confirm participants are 21+ and fit the standards for your home and table.
Platform boundary
Use PokerMeet for coordination, not for turning the room into public inventory.
- Keep the product focused on discovery, approvals, roster control, and private-home privacy.
- Escalate disruptive or unsafe behavior quickly and comply with local rules.
Set the standard
If you want to host the right way, signal that interest early.
The waitlist and founding host program are how PokerMeet finds reliable hosts for each county while keeping the private-home posture intact.
