PokerBoss Bot for Clubs With VPIP and Call-Time Rules
How it works: Screenshots & Video
Which PokerBoss this is
This is the mobile club app at pokerboss.com, package com.getzapped.pokerboss. It isn't the PokerBoss Tournament Manager timer, the pokerboss.app ledger for home games or PokerBROS, the name search engines often swap it for.
The App Store listing dates from January 2026, and public versions have come out close to weekly since May, from 1.0.17 to 1.20.0. Whenever PokerBoss updates its Android app, we ship a bot update.
The terms and the App Store name Zaptech Media Limited, a UK company majority-owned by Get Zapped Technologies Limited. A recent notice says PokerBoss is being transferred to Novaxis Tech Limited, and Google Play already shows Novaxis. Read the terms again once the transfer is finished.
PokerBoss may be connected to PokerBaazi, though nobody has confirmed a link. Assume an old PokerBaazi account, balance or KYC doesn't carry over. Tricks from PPPoker don't transfer either, because PokerBoss shares no visible code with it.
Small and mostly Indian
One agent site calls the traffic very small, and the numbers lean that way. In November 2026 the Android listing showed about 11,500 installs and a 1.8 rating (US view, 24 reviews). The iPhone app stood at 4.8 from 21 ratings, every one from India, with none in 31 other App Store countries we checked.
The first requests from Indian players and agents reached us at the end of July 2026, three weeks before we added PokerBoss on 21 August. They often hold accounts on ClubGG, PPPoker, Pokerrrr 2 and Pokerman as well, and the ones who name a game mostly name PLO5 cash.
PokerBoss lists Hold'em, 4, 5 and 6-card Omaha, OFC, All-in or Fold, Flash, Super Hold'em and tournaments, and the client adds mixed tables, Double Board and Bomb Pot. We support NLH, PLO4 and PLO5, and since 1 November 2026 also PLO6 and tournaments. There's an open lobby next to the clubs, though the clients who write to us ask about clubs.
A tight bot can get removed from the table
A player who came to us in October 2026 plays PLO5 on PokerBoss, mostly 200/400 and 250/500 in rupees, sometimes 100/200. They asked us whether the bot can hold a VPIP, because "mostly clubs have 50-55 vpip mandatory".
The requirement comes from a table setting, not a house habit. The PokerBoss client has a Minimum VPIP option, and a player who drops under it gets this message: "You had been removed from the table because of low VPIP." A profile tuned for tight Hold'em would sit down and get thrown out. In PLO5 a 50% floor is much easier to live with, which is one reason we'd start there.
VPIP is a setting in our admin panel, so you set it above the club's floor before the first session and then check the number the account really played. Before one launch on PokerBoss a partner in Indian clubs sent us the house rules:
- no more than 2 IDs on one table;
- no collusion of any kind;
- keep your VPIP up;
- "Can't sit out in profit need to complete call time";
- break these and cash-outs stop being smooth.
A club rule is tied to your money.
Officially nobody plays for money
The terms say PokerBoss "neither offers nor permits any form of online money gaming". Chips have "no monetary or real-world value", and selling them for real money, directly or through intermediaries, is "prohibited and void". One club directory quotes rupee rates per chip and rakeback percentages for PokerBoss clubs, and a client of ours quoted 1:1. PokerBoss's own web shop is titled "Agent Panel", sells Diamonds in packs up to $7,700, and on the day we read it took only crypto, although the terms say purchases go through Apple and Google.
Both are true. In the app, an owner assigns Blue Chips and pays 105 Green for every 100 Blue. The client has screens for Grant Credit, Claim Back, Trade Records and agent downlines. Any rupees move outside the app, between you and an agent.
No one at PokerBoss owes you a payout. Under the terms such a deal is void, and a dispute goes to the club first. Check the agent before you look at the club or the stakes. Cash out often, and don't leave a balance sitting with an agent you can't reach.
India's Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 came into force on 1 May 2026, and reports of it describe a blanket ban on online money games. The Supreme Court has agreed to hear challenges to it. The PokerBoss client carries its own warning that "the use of this application for real money gambling is unlawful in the Indian jurisdiction".
The rake is set by the table creator: a percentage and a cap in big blinds, and since July 2026 no cap at all if the host wants that. One listing showed 8% with an 8bb cap. Compare it before you compare anything else, because on a bot account it comes out of every pot.
GLI did certify the PokerBoss random number generator, on 9 February 2026, valid to the end of March 2027. That covers the shuffle. It says nothing about clubs, agents or who pays you, and PokerBoss claims no gambling licence.
What a host can switch on
Most of the protection on PokerBoss sits in table settings.
| Setting | What it does | What we do |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum VPIP | Removes a player who falls under the line. | Set the floor in the admin panel before the first hand. |
| Call time | The client describes it as tracking. One host we dealt with uses it as a minimum stay: you can't leave ahead until your time is up. | Schedule sessions long enough to play it out. |
| Anti-banking | Leave and buy in again inside the window, and you come back with the stack you left with. | Don't plan on hit-and-run sessions. |
| Same IP or GPS | Blocks a seat if a player on the same IP or close by is already at the table, with grace hands before removal. | One IP and location per account. |
| CAPTCHA | A random test during play. Fail it and you're removed and can't rejoin. | The bot passes the test itself. |
| PC restriction | Limits who can connect by device. The client has two descriptions of it, and they say opposite things. | The bot plays through the Android app, not a PC client. |
| Who may sit | Trusted Members and password tables let the club pick, and since October 2026 it can keep tables for players it marks as high-value. | Ask the host how a new account gets in. |
A VIP card also lets a player tap your avatar and read your VPIP, PFR, 3-bet and C-bet. Two seats in one club with identical numbers are visible to anyone paying for that card, so set them differently per account.
What the app itself checks
The terms ban bots, AI assistance, emulators, VPNs and proxies, and more than one account per person. They also forbid changing your IP or location repeatedly without permission. Penalties run from warnings to permanent bans and confiscation, and those decisions are final. The Fair Play page promises automated flags followed by human review. PokerBoss publishes no ban figures, and we've seen no public case of a ban or confiscation, which on an app this small proves very little.
The Android client is more specific than the terms:
- root and jailbreak checks (RootBeer, JailMonkey), mock-location checks and Google Play Integrity;
- a device fingerprint and one active session per account;
- a location report to the server, repeated when you return to the app;
- an accelerometer module that sends motion samples to the backend, next to a "suspected fraud" flag on the table.
The client has no named emulator list, but on 11 September 2026 MEmu's repair notes listed a fix for "emulator detection issues" in PokerBoss, so some check exists.
Phone or LDPlayer
The bot runs on PokerBoss in two ways, and we'd choose by account count. For one account, use an Android phone without root, supported since September 2026. It has real sensors, and it's the setup to test first if a host closes a table to PC. The demo above was shot that way at NLH 1/2, and the green bar shows the decision on the hand. One phone means one account, and the iPhone and Mac versions of the app won't run the bot.
For more accounts, use LDPlayer on a Windows 10 or newer PC with a separate profile, device model and stable IP for each one. Keep the location matching the IP, and don't move it around. PokerBoss allows three tables at a time per account, so three is the ceiling.
You can run it autonomous, seated on a schedule so the account clears its call time. Stagger those schedules, because the terms count agreements to sit out at the same time as collusion. Or use advisor mode, where you play and it suggests. One Indian player asked us for advisor mode on a phone.
Before you commit a bankroll, ask the host or agent:
- what the VPIP floor and the call time are, table by table;
- whether tables have PC restriction or IP and GPS limits on;
- the rake and cap on the games you'd play, and whether they've changed;
- what a chip is worth, and at what rate rupees or USDT go in and out;
- whether the club is private or in a union;
- how fast this agent has paid other players.
For PokerBoss agents and bankroll investors
PokerBoss has Super-Agent and Agent roles, with downline, credit and claim-back screens in the client. If you are an agent or have seats in PokerBoss clubs, we can work with bots for you on TurnKey PokerBotFarm. You give us club access and deposit chips; we create the accounts, keep their VPIP and schedules inside the house rules, and rotate and monitor them. Before the first session we ask who runs the club, whether it's private or part of a union, and what rake and rakeback it pays. If you know the owner, we agree ban protection with them first. We turn down clubs when the numbers are too thin.
Winnings and rakeback are split separately, usually 70% of winnings and 50% of rakeback to us, with a report for each club. Final terms depend on the club and volume, and you agree them with our manager before the start. The terms ban chip sales through intermediaries, so an agent's account carries that risk whether or not bots are involved.
For PokerBoss club owners
Club tables on a young app are hard to keep running. Every 100 Blue Chips you assign cost 105 Green. Table fees turn into Diamonds deducted after play. With Poker Ecology we place AI accounts in your club to open tables and hold them through the quiet hours, playing to keep the field balanced rather than to win as much as possible. Built-in PokerBotRadar flags possible outside bots and colluding players on top of your VPIP, IP, GPS and CAPTCHA settings.
There's no fixed fee. We add the winnings and your rake together and split the total, usually 50/50 or 60/40 in our favor, sometimes 40/60, depending on club and volume. You agree it with our manager before launch. One tip that has nothing to do with bots: club ownership can't be transferred, but a Manager has the same permissions, so appoint one you trust before you need one.
