Question 1

What is PokerGuard?

Accepted Answer

PokerGuard is a free desktop poker tool that helps you manage session discipline with timers and stop rules, detect mental fatigue through cognitive performance checks, and execute GTO mixed strategies using a hotkey-triggered RNG. It is not a HUD, solver, or RTA tool.

Question 2

Is PokerGuard free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Core session tracking, fatigue testing, and the GTO RNG are completely free. Paid plans (Solo £19/mo, Pro £39/mo) add advanced fatigue detection, personalised thresholds, bankroll tracking, and cross-device sync.

Question 3

Is PokerGuard allowed on poker sites?

Accepted Answer

PokerGuard is strategy-agnostic. It does not analyse hands, read player stats, overlay a HUD, or provide strategy advice. It is a randomiser and session management tool that monitors screen content only for table detection and bankroll tracking, making it compliant with poker site terms of service.

Question 4

How does PokerGuard detect fatigue?

Accepted Answer

PokerGuard uses short cognitive checks (reaction time and symbol matching tests) compared against your personal baseline. It tracks session duration, break timing, and play patterns to give objective recommendations: continue, reduce load, take a break, or stop session.

Question 5

What poker sites does PokerGuard support?

Accepted Answer

PokerGuard currently supports auto table detection for GGPoker, with PokerStars, ACR, PartyPoker, and 20+ more sites coming soon. The RNG and session tools work independently of any poker site.

Question 6

Does PokerGuard work on Mac and Windows?

Accepted Answer

Yes. PokerGuard is a desktop application available for both macOS and Windows, with a mobile companion app coming soon.
