TOURNAMENT & CASINO RULES
Poker room rules, casino policies, and tournament regulations can vary by venue, tournament host, and jurisdiction. Technology policies are continuously evolving, and permitted device usage may change at any time.
While many tournament venues currently allow phones for note-taking when a player is not actively involved in a hand, some venues restrict or prohibit all phone usage during certain stages of play — especially at final tables or the final 2–3 tables of an event.
Because of this:
- Always check with your tournament director or host before using Break Smarter™ during play.
- You are solely responsible for complying with local tournament rules and casino policies.
- Even if a version was previously accepted at one venue, another venue may interpret device usage differently.
🟢 GENERAL USE ACCEPTED
🟡 VENUE RULES APPLY
🔴 RESTRICTED AT FINAL TABLES
WHAT BREAK SMARTER™ DOES
Break Smarter™ is a note-taking and post-hand awareness tool. The app:
- Helps players reflect on decisions after a hand is complete
- Provides emotional-awareness and clarity feedback
- Encourages disciplined and responsible play habits
- Does not provide real-time solver assistance
- Does not tell players how to play a hand during active play
- Is not intended to assist cheating or collusion in any form
The goal of Break Smarter™ is to help players make decisions from a place of clarity rather than impulse or emotion.
RESPONSIBLE GAMING COMMITMENT
Break Smarter™ supports responsible gaming and fair competition. Our mission is to help players:
- Stay emotionally aware
- Avoid tilt and impulsive decisions
- Improve self-discipline
- Respect tournament integrity
- Enjoy the game responsibly
If a venue does not permit device usage, players should fully respect those rules.
