Why bother with an account?

Playing without an account is fine. Playing with one is a career.

You don't need one — but here's the pitch

You can track and settle a whole game without signing up. An account is optional. But without one, every night is amnesia — the numbers vanish when the game ends. With one, they become your record.

What you actually get

Your all-time story

A running profit history across every game — up or down, all-time, on one line. Plus average per game, % of nights you finished up, your best night and your worst beat, and hourly rate if you log your hours.

Streaks & bragging rights

Win streaks, loss streaks (❄️), and peer-voted awards your table hands out — "hardest to read", the ice-cold bluffer, whatever your crew decides. They stick to your profile.

A profile people can find

A public profile at /u/yourhandle (as public or private as you want). Follow your regular crew, see their stats, and climb your city and global leaderboards.

It follows you everywhere

Play on your phone, check stats on your laptop. Any game your account is seated in surfaces automatically when you sign in — even on a device you've never opened it on.

Get pinged when it matters

Notifications for join requests, someone following you, awards, and — crucially — when a payment's outstanding or someone's confirmed they paid you.

The community angle

Set your home city and you show up on the local home-games directory, so nearby players can find your table. Private types can stay off it entirely — your call, changeable anytime.

💡

Signing in is genuinely two taps with Google or Apple, or a name + passcode. No email required, no spam — the monthly stats recap is strictly opt-in.

FAQ

Can I use potcount without an account?

Yes — you can track and settle entire games with no signup. An account only adds saved stats, history, profiles and cross-device sync.

Is my profile public?

You choose: public, members-only, or private. Private profiles are kept off the city directory and hide detailed stats.

Will you email me?

Only if you opt in to the monthly stats recap. No email is required to have an account, and there's no other marketing mail.
