### 4 - Poker Now will always be free?
|
|
|
|
|
|
My main goal is offer Poker Now as a free product, without flashy or invasibe ads, directly on the browser and always without sign up process (except where I need sign up, like tournaments). You may ask about how I will cover the costs, I'm always focused to keep the app the more performant as possible to use cheap infrastructures, of course I think in monetize Poker Now, but I will try to do this most cleanly.

Currently we don't have, the only way to access is through the web browser and it is part of the DNA of Poker Now that is to make super easy to play, without need registering or downloads. I tried my best to make Poker Now looks a "regular" app at the browser window.

I am happy that you are willing to help with code but at this moment I am just opening the code access for people close to me. I am not saying that you want to steal the app or something, but for now, I can only fully trust in people that I know personally. But you can help the project here in the Gitlab pointing duplications, pre analyzing bugs and trying to find the causes or if it is a false alarm, telling me what issue is related to other, and answering people at our Discord. These acts already help a lot.

### 21 - How works the player disconnections at Poker Now?
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you close the game tab, you will be considered disconnected and you will be removed from the seat in 2 minutes if you don't reconnect again.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you put the game tab in the background (opening another app or other tab) if you don't focus at the game tab again, in 5 minutes you will enter in the "heartbeat mode" which you will appear off-line at the table, but the app will wait 10 minutes before consider you full disconnected and removes you from the seat. This is mainly to save server resources within idle connections.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 22 - Why I am apparearing off-line if I am with the game open?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Probably you are with more than one browser tab open for your game, and this other tab was disconnected for being unfocused, sending a signal that you disconnected from the game. We recommend that you keep only one tab open for your game for a smoother experience, although I am working to solve this issue. |
