dealin.cloud

A digital deck for real poker nights.

Keep your chips, table talk, and house rules. dealin.cloud only removes the physical deck so you get fewer misdeals, no shuffling breaks, and faster hands. The central screen runs the board while every phone shows private pocket cards.

Poker is best when everyone is arguing about ranges, ribbing bad river calls, and pushing real chips—not when the game stops so someone can shuffle, burn, reshuffle, and fix mistakes. This is a digital deck built for live Texas Hold’em: no sign-ups, no online room, just your regular home game with the deck upgraded.

We bring the cards, you bring the rest

Poker nights are great. Shuffling isn’t.

In most home games one person ends up being “the dealer” all night. They shuffle, burn, fix misdeals, check the deck, and slow every pot while everyone else waits. Over a long night that means lost hands, tired players, and extra friction—especially with full tables or new players. dealin.cloud removes only one thing: the physical deck. You still bring chips, announce bets, keep your house rules, and decide who scoops the pot. The system just keeps the cards fair, fast, and invisible to anyone but the right player.

Feels like your normal game, just faster and smoother

  1. Put an iPad in the center of the table and open the app.
  2. Each player taps an empty seat, scans the QR for that seat, and joins from their phone.
  3. Start a hand: everyone instantly gets two pocket cards on their phone; the board on the central screen is empty.
  4. Players press and hold on their phone to peek, then release to hide. Betting and conversation stay live at the table — dealin.cloud never tracks action.
  5. When the table agrees it’s time for the next street, the dealer taps to deal. There is no need for individual ready toggles.
  6. At showdown, anyone who wants can tap “Show” to reveal on the central screen. If you prefer to muck, do nothing.

Everything that makes live poker fun stays exactly the same. The only thing that disappears is the time-consuming card handling.

No more shuffling breaks

Hands start immediately. You don’t spend half the night watching someone shuffle, fix cuts, or re-deal after mistakes.

Fewer “wait, what happened?” moments

The system always deals the correct number of cards, burns properly, and never flashes a card by mistake.

Privacy by default

Each phone only shows its owner’s pocket cards. No cupping your hand or worrying about reflections leaking your cards.

Keep the room together

This isn’t an online poker site. Everyone still plays live with real chips, tells, and table talk in the same room.

Great for new players

New or casual players don’t need to learn how to shuffle and deal correctly. They just play while the app handles the deck.
