The sub-host can only distribute chips from their own bankroll. This means they have to get chips from the host to distribute to other players.
The sub-host can create games, process cash out requests, allow players into the club, and ban players.
The rake stats are calculated based on the contribution method. If you put 50 chips into a pot of 150, and the rake collected is 3 chips, you would be assigned a player rake of 1 chip.

PRIVATE ROOMS INTRO
Starting from the top of the drop-down menu in the upper-left corner, tap on Private Rooms.
The First page will take you to a list of Private Rooms where you are active as a host or player. All players start with zero chips. Only the host can give or take a player’s chips. The Private Rooms are fueled by gold. All tournaments costs gold to enter plus any chips the host requires. All Ring games cost gold per hand if they are eligible for the Bad Beat Jackpot or not. Bad Beat Jackpots inside of a Private Room are only for players that are members of the Private Room. The BBJs are fueled by the chips assigned by the host. The chips inside of a Private Room are separate from the Play Chips available in the Public Lobby.
CREATE NEW (+)
From here you can create your own Private Room where you can control who can enter and who gets chips and how many. You can create Custom Ring games and Tournaments. You can create a Bad Beat Jackpot for your Ring Games.
Step 1: Enter Room Name.
Step 2: Choose Rake or No Rake
There are 2 types of Private Rooms. Either the Host can rake or the Host cannot rake the games. Private Rooms without the rake feature are the cheapest option. Private Rooms with the rake feature have a detailed rake breakdown for each game type. This is found in the Host Tab. Choosing different Private Room time lengths and rake on/off will change the gold prices in the window below (in app).
Private Room Length: The length of time you can control the room. This time can be extended for the same price it costs to start the room once it is open. Go to the Host Tab in the Private Room.
Join Private Room: This is the cost for another player to join your room.
Cash Game Hand: This is how much gold per hand it costs each player participating in a ring game.
Join Tourney: This is how much it costs each player to join a tourney.
Cost To Create Private Room: This is the cost that the Host pays to create the room.
Step 3: Choose Host Tax Amount (OPTIONAL)
This is a feature where the host can make the players that join their room pay more gold per game and the extra gold goes into the Host’s account.
Example: You want to create a room for your friends without a rake, but you want to create a reward for yourself for organizing the games. If you enter 50% in the Host Tax field, this means that all ring games will cost 50% more gold per hand. Also, all Tournaments will cost 50% more gold to enter. This extra gold goes directly into the Host’s account.
This feature does not effect the rake and can also be used with raked ring games. Gold fuels the Private Rooms and “The Host Tax” makes the cost of the Rooms more expensive to the benefit of the Host.
Set to Zero to not use this feature.
Step 4: After you have picked the appropriate options, tap the “Create” button.
Invites: This system is only used if a host does not have their games publicly listed in the “Find Home Game” search function.
You will find invites to Private Rooms here. There is also a button for your invite code. Tap the “My Invite Code” button to give your invite code to a host. Copy and paste the code into your designated messaging app and send to a host.
You cannot be invited to a Private Room without providing your invite code. When Hosting, after a player has joined your room, they will show up in your recent invite list to invite them to another room without using the invite code.
View Finished: Here, you will find statistics from past Private Rooms in which you were a participant as either a Player or Host. Only rooms that have expired appear here. If you run out of time while playing in a game, do not worry, your chips will still be accounted for in this section.

BADBEAT JACKPOT INTRO
Hosts can create a custom Bad Beat Jackpot for their Ring Games. The host can choose the minimum hand that qualifies as a bad beat. In order for the Bad Beat Jackpot to be triggered, the winner and loser of the hand must have both hole cards play and the amount in the pot must be greater than 5 big blinds. It is not considered a bad beat if both hole cards do not play.
Example: Host sets BBJ to AhAsAc2s2h (suit does not matter). The community cards are AdAcAh3s8c. Player 1 has TdTs (pocket tens) for hole cards. Players 2 has 9s9d (pocket nines) for hole cards. If both players make it to a showdown on the river and the hand is more than 5 big blinds, the BBJ will be triggered. Player 1 would be the winner of the hand. Player 2 would be the loser of the hand. And the table share will be split between the remaining players. If there are only 2 players, the table share will be split by the 2 players
HOW TO CREATE A BADBEAT JACKPOT (+)
Step 1: Tap on The Bad Beat Jackpot button in the Host tab. This screen will display active Bad Beat Jackpots.
Step 2: Tap the “Add New BBJ” button.
Step 3: Enter Name and Description for BBJ
Step 4: Enter “Seed” amount. The Seed amount is the amount the BBJ will start with for the first time. In most cases, this will be zero unless the host wants to start the pot with something in it.
Step 5: Enter the minimum qualifying hand. ThTsTd2s3c would be trip tens. See Example.
Step 6: Set percentages for Loser, Winner, Table share, and Reseed. If there are only 2 players, the table share is split between the 2 players. If there are 3 players, the entire table share goes to the 3rd player at the table. If the are 4 or more players, the table share is split among all players not the winner or loser of the hand. The Reseed amount is the amount a new BBJ will start with once the pot has been won.
Step 7: Select the games that are eligible for the Bad Beat Jackpot. If all game types remain checked, any future ring games that are created that enter an amount in BBJ per hand field will contribute to the BBJ. Any hand won pre-flop will not contribute to BBJ. It is also possible to set up Multiple BBJs for different games. There can only be one BBJ for a particular game type when considering multiple BBJs. For example, one BBJ can be for PL Omaha and another BBJ can be for No Limit Holdem. There cannot be 2 different BBJs for No Limit Holdem.

Leagues have all of the features of a Private Room, but cannot be extended. A new league can be started again, but the stats reset. When the host renews a league after a league has finished, an invite will go out to all players in the League. Access to completed leagues will still be available in the “View Finished” area.
Create League (+)
From here you can create your own League where you can control who can enter and who gets chips and how many. You can create Custom Ring games and Tournaments. You can create a Bad Beat Jackpot for your Ring Games. You can choose if your games are ranked or not.
Step 1: Enter League Name.
Step 2: Set Prize schedule for League Payout. Tap the “Helper Tool” button. Next, enter the number of players that you want to receive a payout from the League at the end of the season. Tap the “Next” button. Then, use the slider tool on the next page to fine tune the payout percentages. Tap submit when you are finished. You will now see the updated payout info below the “Helper Tool” button. A payout written as 50, 30, 20 (in app) means 1st place gets 50% of the prize pool. 2nd place gets 30% and 3rd place gets 20%. This pot pays out at the end of the League. The League can be ended by the host or because time has expired.
Step 3: Choose Rake or No Rake and the length of the League.
There are 2 types of Leagues. Either the Host can rake or the Host cannot rake the games. Leagues without the rake feature are the cheapest option. Leagues with the rake feature have a detailed rake breakdown for each game type. This is found in the Host Tab. Choosing different League time lengths and rake on/off will change the gold prices in the window below (in app).
League Length: The duration of the League. This time cannot be extended. A new league can be started and an invite will be sent to all league members. This will start a new season. Past seasons will be available in the “View Finished” area.
Join League: This is the cost for another player to join your League.
Cash Game Hand: This is how much gold per hand it costs each player participating in a ring game.
Join Tourney: This is how much it costs each player to join a tourney.
Cost To Create League: This is the cost that the Host pays to create the League.
Step 4: Choose Host Tax Amount (OPTIONAL)
This is a feature where the host can make the players that join his League pay more gold per game and the extra gold goes into the Host’s account.
Example: You want to create a League for your friends without a rake, but you want to create a reward for yourself for organizing the games. If you enter 50% in the Host Tax field, this means that all ring games will cost 50% more gold per hand. Also, all Tournaments will cost 50% more gold to enter. This extra gold goes directly into the Host’s account.
This feature does not effect the rake and can also be used with raked ring games. Gold fuels the Leagues and “The Host Tax” makes the cost of the Leagues more expensive to the benefit of the Host.
Set to Zero to not use this feature.
Step 5: After you have picked the appropriate options, tap the “Create” button.
INVITES
You will find invites to Leagues here. There is also a button for your invite code. Tap the “My Invite Code” button to give your invite code to a host. Copy and paste the code into your designated messaging app and send to the host.
You cannot be invited to a League without providing your invite code. When Hosting, after a player has joined your League, they will show up in your recent invite list to invite them to another League without using the invite code.
VIEW FINISHED
Here, you will find statistics from past Leagues in which you were a participant as either a Player or Host. Only Leagues that have expired appear here. If you run out of time while playing in a game, do not worry, your chips will still be accounted for in this section.

Bad Beat Jackpot
Hosts can create a custom Bad Beat Jackpot for their Ring Games. The host can choose the minimum hand that qualifies as a bad beat. In order for the Bad Beat Jackpot to be triggered, the winner and loser of the hand must have both hole cards play and the amount in the pot must be greater than 5 big blinds.. It is not considered a bad beat if both hole cards do not play.
Example: Host sets BBJ to AhAsAc2s2h (suit does not matter). The community cards are AdAcAh3s8c. Player 1 has TdTs (pocket tens) for hole cards. Players 2 has 9s9d (pocket nines) for hole cards. If both players make it to a showdown on the river, the BBJ will be triggered. Player 1 would be the winner of the hand. Player 2 would be the loser of the hand. And the table share will be split between the remaining players. If there are only 2 players, the table share will be split by the 2 players.
ADD A BAD BEAT JACKPOT (+)
Step 1: Tap on The Bad Beat Jackpot button in the Host tab. This screen will display active Bad Beat Jackpots.
Step 2: Tap the “Add New BBJ” button.
Step 3: Enter Name and Description for BBJ
Step 4: Enter “Seed” and “Reseed” amounts. The Seed amount is the amount the BBJ will start with for the first time. In most cases, this will be zero unless the host wants to start the pot with something in it. The Reseed amount is the amount a new BBJ will start with once the pot has been won. This will be zero in most cases unless the host wants the pot to start with something in it.
Step 5: Enter the minimum qualifying hand. ThTsTd2s3c would be trip tens. See Example.
Step 6: Set percentages for Loser, Winner, Table share, and Reseed. If there are only 2 players, the table share is split between the 2 players. If there are 3 players, the entire table share goes to the 3rd player at the table. If the are 4 or more players, the table share is split among all players not the winner or loser of the hand. The Reseed amount is the amount a new BBJ will start with once the pot has been won.
Step 7: Select the games that are eligible for the Bad Beat Jackpot. If all game types remain checked, any future ring games that are created that enter an amount in BBJ per hand field will contribute to the BBJ. Any hand won pre-flop will not contribute to BBJ. It is also possible to set up Multiple BBJs for different games. There can only be one BBJ for a particular game type when considering multiple BBJs. For example, one BBJ can be for PL Omaha and another BBJ can be for No Limit Holdem. There cannot be 2 different BBJs for No Limit Holdem.
Step 8: Add BBJ. Any Table that is eligible for the BBJ will have the Jackpot total displayed at the table. Also, long press on a ring game (“Tables” tab) to see Jackpot eligibility and other info.
