How Much Hosting Costs in Pokerrrr 2 (Gold)
Playing Pokerrrr 2 is free, but hosting games costs Gold — the app’s in-app currency. Only the person who opens the table pays: players who join with the code don’t spend Gold. Here is how the cost is calculated, where to see it before launching and where Gold comes from.

What the cost depends on
The cost is calculated by a formula based on the game parameters. The more “expensive” the settings, the more Gold is charged. The formula takes into account:
| Parameter | What it is |
|---|---|
| Starting stack | How many chips each player gets at the start |
| Blind interval | How often the blinds go up (for tournaments and progressive blinds) |
| Number of tables | How many tables are in the game or tournament |
| Buy-in | The entry fee |
| Late registration level | Up to which blind level you can still register |
| Rebuy period | How long rebuys are available |
Pokerrrr 2 does not publish the exact formula with its coefficients. Go by the Service Charge line at the top of the Game Settings screen: it updates as you change the settings, so before tapping Host you can see exactly what you will pay.
Cash game or tournament
| Cash game | Tournament (SNG, MTT) | |
|---|---|---|
| How it’s charged | For every hour of play | Once per game |
| What affects it | Table parameters, duration | Stack, blinds, tables, buy-in, late registration, rebuys |
| How to save | Set a Game Length and end the game on time (Terminate) | Match the structure to the real number of players |

- Claim the free Gold bonus when the timer shows “Bonus Ready”.
Don’t buy Gold from strangers in messengers: it is sold only in the app store, and “cheap Gold” often turns out to be a scam. All the costs of club apps are covered in the article how to create a poker club.
