The free poker timer built for poker night
This is a free poker tournament timer that runs in any browser — no sign-up, no download, no paywall. Enter your buy-in and player count, pick a pace, and it builds the blind structure for you, then runs the whole night: it counts down each level with antes and scheduled breaks, raises the blinds automatically with a sound alert, splits the prize pool into realistic payouts for 1–50 places (updating live with rebuys and add-ons), and tracks the average stack and players left as people bust. It's designed for the big screen: open it on a laptop, cast to the TV, go fullscreen, and the numbers stay readable from across the room while the screen stays awake all night. Wondering how it stacks up against desktop software and apps? Read our honest comparison of the best poker timers.

Common questions
- How do I set up the poker timer?
- Enter your buy-in, pick a pace (turbo, standard or deep) and set your player count — the timer builds the blind structure and payouts to match your target finish time. Hit start and it runs the whole night. You can fine-tune every level under advanced settings, and save setups so your regular game is one tap away next time.
- Can I run the poker timer on a TV?
- Yes — that's what it's designed for. Open it on a laptop, plug into or cast to the TV and go fullscreen. The countdown, blinds and payouts are sized to be readable from across the room, and the screen stays awake for the whole session.
- Does the timer handle rebuys and add-ons?
- Yes. Allow rebuys for the early levels and a one-time add-on at the break, and the prize pool and payouts update automatically as people re-enter.
- What happens when the blinds go up?
- The timer moves to the next level automatically, plays a sound alert and shows the new blinds — plus a preview of the level coming after, so nobody at the table is surprised.
- Is the poker timer really free?
- Yes — free with no account, no download and no paywall. It runs in any modern browser on a laptop, tablet or phone.
- Is this a poker tournament timer or just a clock?
- A full poker tournament timer: it runs the blind schedule with antes and breaks, tracks rebuys and add-ons into the prize pool, shows live payouts and average stack, and handles seat draws and table balancing — not just a countdown.
- Can I use it as a poker blind timer?
- Yes — a poker blind timer and a tournament clock are the same tool. It counts down each blind level, shows the current and next blinds, and raises them automatically with a sound alert when the level ends.
