How do I create a game room?
Open PartyPot, tap "Create Room," choose your game type, set the starting balance for each player, and you're live. A unique room code and QR code are generated automatically for your friends to join.
What is the role of the banker?
The banker (usually the room host) is the only player who can process transactions between players. This prevents unauthorized transfers and keeps the game organized. The banker can credit, debit, and transfer money between any players in the room.
Can I run multiple game rounds in the same room?
Yes! You don't need to create a new room for each round. The room stays active and all balances carry over. If you want to reset balances for a new game, the banker can do that manually, or you can use Smart Settlement to close out the current game and start fresh.
