Comparison
Why PokClock over The Tournament Director or Blind Valet?
The reference tools were built around 2003 and haven't kept up. PokClock is built in 2026 for today's reality: premium UI, built-in mobile, exact PKO 50/50 calc, made in France.
* TD = The Tournament Director (tournamentdirector.com)

The raw math over 3 years
PokClock Casino (€199 one-time) ≈ year 1 of TD Commercial ($299.99). Years 2 and 3: TD bills $300/yr more, PokClock bills €0. Over 3 years, TD Commercial = $900; PokClock Casino = €199 (one-time, lifetime on your major version).
Where TD remains stronger
Honestly: TD has 20 years of iteration on custom leaderboard scoring formulas and an ecosystem of plugins / shared formulas on the 2+2 forum. PokClock reaches functional parity (NCalc / Roslyn), but that community is still to build. If custom scoring formulas are your absolute priority, TD still has the edge.
Frequently asked questions
Before you buy
Do I need Internet to use PokClock?+
No. Everything runs offline, including the mobile PWA (which uses your local Wi-Fi). Only updates and the optional cloud backup (OneDrive, Dropbox or Google Drive) require a connection.
Is my player data sent to a server?+
Never. Everything stays on your PC in a local SQLite database. PokClock makes no unsolicited outgoing calls.
Maximum number of players?+
Per plan: 20 (Home), 200 (Club), unlimited (Casino). Tested up to 300 players on 30 tables without slowdown.
Can I install PokClock on multiple PCs?+
One license = one PC, for every plan (Home, Club, Casino). To equip several stations (room, casino), contact us: volume pricing on request.
What happens if my PC crashes during a tournament?+
PokClock takes a backup every 30 seconds with a cryptographic SHA-256 signature that guarantees data integrity. On restart, restore in 2 clicks and resume exactly where you left off.
Do you provide updates?+
Yes, automatic updates outside tournaments. Updates cover the major version you purchased (e.g. all v1.x.y, not a future v2 which would be a separate upgrade). Duration included: 1 year for Home, 2 years for Club, lifetime for Casino.
Is it GDPR-compliant for my poker club?+
Player data (name, email, license number) is stored locally on your machine, exportable to CSV anytime, deletable per player. You are the data controller.
Do you have a free trial?+
Yes, 15 full days, all software features unlocked, no credit card. Online (cloud) services are not included in the trial.
Why PokClock instead of legacy English-language software?+
See the detailed comparison table above. In short: 2026 vs 2010 UI, native French, integrated TTS voice announcements, mobile PWA for players, exact PKO 50/50 calculation, direct developer support. PokClock specifically targets French-speaking clubs, a market the English-language tools serve poorly.
Do you have a Mac or Linux version?+
Not in the immediate future. PokClock is native to Windows, which represents about 95% of the organizer market. A Mac/Linux version may appear depending on demand. For players and dealers, the mobile app stays accessible from any device.
Can I buy for several PCs in the same organization?+
One license covers one station, whatever the plan. To equip several stations (casinos, federations, venue chains), reach out via our contact form with your number of seats: we offer tiered volume pricing.
Can I transfer my license to another PC?+
Yes. Each license is tied to a specific computer, but we can release it and re-attach it to a new PC, for example after a hardware failure or upgrade. Submit a request via our contact form with proof of purchase ; transfer within 24 business hours.
What is your refund policy?+
For Home and Club: the 30-day free trial serves as evaluation, so no refund after license activation (per article L221-28 of the French Consumer Code on digital content). For Casino: 30-day money-back guarantee from purchase. If a major bug prevents use and isn't resolved within 30 days, full refund applies to all plans.
