Poker timer features
Everything it takes to run the whole night
Player roster & random seating
Add every player's name once, set the max seats per table, and the timer deals a fair, random table draw for you.
Automatic table balancing
As players bust, the timer moves people between tables to keep them even — right down to a single final table.
Turbo, Standard or Deep stack
Pick a pace — a quick 2–3 hour turbo, a standard 4–5 hour night, or a slow, deep-stack grind — and the blind levels size themselves to fit.
Automatic payouts
Set the buy-in and the prize pool splits itself across up to 50 places, top-heavy and realistic.
Antes, rebuys & add-ons
Turn on antes, allow rebuys for the first hour, and offer a one-time add-on at the break — all handled automatically.

Common questions
- What does the poker timer do?
- It runs your blind levels — counting down each level, showing the next blinds coming, and tracking the average stack and players left as people bust. Set your buy-in once and it splits the prize pool automatically too.
- Do I need to sign up or pay anything?
- No. The timer, the calculators and the rules are all free — no account, no download, no paywall. Open it in any browser and you're ready.
- What's the best poker timer for a home game?
- For most home games, a free browser timer that runs fullscreen on a TV beats desktop software and phone apps. We compared the main options honestly, including where ours isn't the right pick. Read the full comparison →
- How long does a home poker tournament take?
- It depends on the blind structure. A turbo with 15-minute levels runs about 2–3 hours; standard 20-minute levels land around 4–5 hours. The blind-structure calculator sizes the levels to your target finish time.
- How many players can you run at one table?
- Up to 10 is standard for a single table. Beyond that you split across tables and merge when numbers drop — the timer handles any number of players.
