Terms of Service
Last updated: June 26, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By creating an account or using LinkHouse Poker ("the Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform. LinkHouse Poker is a platform that connects local poker players with non-casino home games.
2. Eligibility & Legality
You must be at least 21 years old and legally permitted to participate in home poker games in your jurisdiction. You are solely responsible for understanding and complying with all local, state, and federal laws regarding home poker games. LinkHouse Poker does not facilitate gambling for profit by the house, rake-based operations, or any illegal gambling activity. The Platform is a connection and management tool only.
3. Subscriptions & Billing
We offer three subscription tiers:
- Player (Free) — CA$0/month. Browse and join games, basic safety tools, community access.
- Premium Player — CA$6.99/month or CA$69/year. Advanced stats, AI bankroll coach, priority notifications, traveler tools.
- Host — CA$14.99/month or CA$149/year with a 30-day free trial. Full game management, Digital Bouncer, chip management.
Subscriptions are billed monthly or annually through Stripe. You may cancel at any time and will retain access until the end of your billing period. The 30-day Host free trial requires a card on file; you will be charged CA$14.99/month (or CA$149/year if annual) after the trial ends unless you cancel before the trial expires.
Refund & Cancellation Policy
Refund & Cancellation Policy
Cancel anytime. 7-day money-back guarantee on your first paid subscription only.
Player Premium
- New Player Premium customers receive a 7-day money-back guarantee on their first paid subscription only.
- A refund may be requested within 7 days of the first successful payment.
- Future monthly or annual renewal payments are non-refundable.
- If you cancel after a renewal, you keep access until the end of the current paid billing period and the subscription does not renew again.
Host
- Host customers receive a 30-day free trial. Cancel any time before the trial ends and you will not be charged.
- If you are charged for the first time after the trial, you may request a full refund within 7 days of that first paid Host charge.
- Future Host renewal payments are non-refundable.
- If you cancel after a renewal, you keep access until the end of the current paid billing period and the subscription does not renew again.
Exceptions
Duplicate charges, billing errors, unauthorized charges, or refunds required by law may be handled separately.
Refund Processing
Approved refunds are returned to the original payment method. Processing time depends on your bank or card provider.
Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period — you retain all paid features until then.
4. User Conduct
You agree not to: use the Platform for any illegal purpose; harass, threaten, or harm other users; misrepresent your identity or verification status; post false or misleading game listings; engage in cheating or collusion; or attempt to circumvent the Platform's safety features, including the Digital Bouncer.
5. Verification & Trust
LinkHouse Poker offers ID verification tiers (Basic, Enhanced, Premium). Verification status does not guarantee the behavior or trustworthiness of any user. You participate in games at your own risk. The Platform provides tools (reviews, blacklists, vouches) to help you assess risk, but does not endorse or warrant any individual player or host.
6. Liability
LinkHouse Poker is a software platform and is not a party to any game or transaction between users. We are not liable for losses, disputes, injuries, or damages arising from games organized through the Platform.
Responsibility for Invitations. LinkHouse Poker does not host, organize, or sponsor any game and assumes no responsibility for who is invited to, or attends, any home game. Hosts are solely responsible for vetting, selecting, and inviting players to their own games, and for the conduct of anyone they admit to their home. Players are likewise responsible for their own decision to accept an invitation and attend. The Platform's verification tools, Trust Scores, reviews, and other safety features are informational aids only and do not constitute an endorsement, guarantee, or warranty of any user's safety, identity, or behavior. You attend home games at your own risk.
7. Privacy & Data
Your use of the Platform is also governed by our Privacy Policy. We employ location scrubbing, encrypted trust systems, and privacy-by-default principles. You may export your data or opt out of visibility at any time through your Settings page.
8. Account Suspension
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, pose a safety risk, or are flagged through the platform's safety mechanisms (Digital Bouncer, blacklist system). Paid subscriptions are non-refundable in the event of account termination for cause.
9. Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Significant changes will be communicated to active users. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
