For poker nights & tournaments
Run the game.Settle in seconds.
Certo is one app for your whole poker night: message every player, collect buy-ins with a single request and pay out winners the moment the last hand ends. Wallet to wallet, no bank in the middle.

Sound familiar?
Running the game is fun. Chasing money isn't.
Every organizer knows the drill: the invite gets you flagged as a spammer, half the table pays late, and settling up takes longer than the final hand. That's the part Certo deletes.
Blocked for doing your job
Send the same invite to twenty players and WhatsApp starts treating you like a spammer. On Certo, messaging your player list is just messaging.
Who's paid? Who knows.
Scrolling back through screenshots and doing mental math to work out who still owes buy-in. One glance should be enough.
Wallet-address roulette
Copy-pasting long addresses and triple-checking every character before you dare to hit send. One typo and the money's gone.
Instant settlement
The last hand ends. So does the admin.
Buy-ins, rebuys, payouts: money moves between you and your players the moment it should, in the same chat where the table talk happens.
Pay out winners instantly
Send winnings the second the game ends. The money lands straight in the winner's own wallet, not in a queue.
Requests in both directions
Send a buy-in request to every player before the cards are dealt. A player can just as easily send you a request for their winnings.
Right inside the chat
Requests and payments live where the conversation already is, with live status on every single one.
Your table, your rules
You decide how the money moves.
You run the game, so you set the terms. Certo just makes sure everyone can meet them without friction.
Accept the coins you choose
Only USDT? USDT and USDC? Any coin Certo supports? You set it once, and players pay however they like within your rules.
Face ID on every payment
Nothing leaves your wallet without your face. Big payout nights stay calm nights.
No bank in the middle
Money goes wallet to wallet, and only you hold your keys. No frozen balances, no questions about what that transfer on Friday night was for.
Pots
A pot for the game. Separate from everything else.
Create a pot for every game or tournament and keep it apart from your personal money. The night's admin lives in its own place, and nobody keeps a drawer full of cash anymore.
A pot per game
Give Friday night its own pot and the summer tournament another. Buy-ins go in, payouts go out, and each game's books stay clean.
Poker money isn't grocery money
Keep your private money and the game's money strictly apart. No more mental math about what's yours and what belongs to the table.
Pay the night's costs from the pot
Drinks, snacks, the room: pay the shared costs straight from the game's pot, so nobody fronts the bill alone.
A tip jar that keeps itself
Keep a pot for tips: for the dealer, the host or the pizza guy. Everyone chips in with a tap, and you see exactly what's in it.
A reserve for when someone doesn't pay
Set a little aside from every game into a reserve pot. If a player ever leaves without settling, the game doesn't feel it and the night stays friendly.
No cash box in the house
A drawer full of buy-in cash makes your home a target. With pots the money is digital, encrypted and only yours. There's nothing left to steal.
The group
Keep the whole game in one place.
From first invite to final payout, your poker night lives in one encrypted group instead of three apps and a spreadsheet.
Invites without the ban risk
Message one player or the whole list. Announcing your Friday game won't get you flagged.
Chats only on your phone
What happens at the table is nobody's business. Messages are end-to-end encrypted and live on your phone, not on our servers.
The debrief stays private
That call after the game, about who played what and who still owes what: voice and video calls are end-to-end encrypted too. No one listens in.
Gone means gone
Delete a message and it disappears completely, on your phone and on your players' phones. Set chats to self-destruct and the night cleans up after itself.
History that settles arguments
Every request and payment in one clear history. Who's paid, who's pending, who ran hot last month. No spreadsheet needed.
No trust required
We can't get to your money or your messages. On purpose.
Certo only builds the rails. Your keys are created on your phone and never leave it, and every message is sealed before it leaves your screen. We couldn't reach your money or read your chats if we tried, and that's exactly the point.
Your keys never leave your phone
Your wallet keys are generated on your device and stay there. No copy on a server, no master key, no back door. Without your keys nobody can move a cent, and we don't have them.
Sealed before it leaves your screen
Messages and calls are encrypted on your phone and only decrypted on your players' phones. Our servers pass closed envelopes and can't peek inside a single one.
We just run the rails
Certo provides the infrastructure: the app, the network, the speed. What travels over it, your words and your money, is yours alone. What we don't have, we can't lose, leak or hand over.
How it works
Set up once. Settle forever.
- 1
Get the app
Download Certo, claim your @handle and set up a wallet only you hold the keys to.
- 2
Bring in your players
One group for the regulars. Every player has an @handle, so nobody ever reads a wallet address out loud at the table again.
- 3
Run the game
Buy-in requests before the first deal, payouts before the chips are back in the case, and a history that shows exactly who's square.
Good questions
What organizers ask us
Do all my players need Certo?
No. Under the hood Certo is a real crypto wallet, so you can send money to players who don't have the app and receive money from them, straight to a wallet address.
But the moment everyone at the table is on Certo, it gets really easy: you send buy-in requests to the whole group, pay winners on their @handle and see at a glance who has paid and who hasn't. So just get your regulars on the app; downloading it and claiming an @handle takes a couple of minutes and costs nothing.
Which coins can I accept?
Whichever you want. Accept only USDT, add USDC, or open it up to any coin Certo supports, including stablecoins on the fastest networks. You set it, your players see it, done.
Can a bank block or question my poker transfers?
There's no bank in the loop to do the questioning. Money moves straight between wallets, and your keys never leave your phone, so nobody can freeze your balance. Certo included.
Can Certo itself get to my money or my messages?
No, and not because we promise to behave. Your wallet keys are created on your phone and never leave it, and messages are encrypted before they leave your screen. There is simply nothing on our side to open.
Certo only runs the infrastructure. What we don't have, we can't lose, leak or hand over, and that's exactly how it should be for a poker group.
Will I get blocked for messaging my whole player list?
No. Group messages and invites are a normal part of Certo, not spam behaviour to be punished. Announce the game, share the address, send the reminder.
How private are our chats and calls?
Completely. Every chat is end-to-end encrypted and your messages live on your phone, not on our servers. We only see that something was sent, never what.
The same goes for the call after the game. Voice and video calls are end-to-end encrypted, so the debrief about hands, players and money stays between the people on the call.
And what shouldn't linger, doesn't have to: delete a message and it's gone completely, on your phone and on the other side. Or let messages destroy themselves after a time you choose.
How do I see who has paid?
Every payment request shows its live status, and your history keeps the full record per player. One glance tells you who's settled and who still owes the pot.
Is Certo a poker or gambling app?
No. Certo is a chat and payments app. You run the game however you run it; Certo handles the talking and the settling. What you play, where and with whom stays your business, and it's encrypted.
The next game settles itself.
Certo is out now, on iPhone and Android. Download it and be the organizer whose game never waits for money again.
Let's chat. Certo.
