A tournament clock is the difference between a smooth home game and a night of arguments about when to raise the blinds. Set it once and the tournament runs itself.
A poker tournament runs on rising blinds — without a clock, levels drift, someone always forgets to raise them, and short stacks get punished by a structure that never moves. A blind timer puts the tournament clock on the wall (or the TV) so blinds go up on schedule, hands-free, and everyone can see exactly where the level stands.
Level length is the single biggest lever on your night. Short 10-minute levels (turbo) create action and finish fast; 20–30 minute levels reward real play and keep more chips in front of the skilled players. Match the tournament structure to your night, and use the ICM calculator to understand how those rising blinds squeeze stacks near the money.
A quick guide to level length and starting stacks — match the structure to how long you want to play.
| Your night | Suggested stack | Level length | Preset |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quick (1–2 hours) | 5,000 chips | 10 min | Turbo |
| Standard (2–4 hours) | 10,000 chips | 20 min | Standard |
| Deep / serious (4 hours+) | 20,000 chips | 30 min | Deep |
| Big field (10+ players) | 10,000 chips | 20 min + breaks | Standard + break every 4 |
Rule of thumb: the longer the levels and the deeper the starting stack, the more skill outweighs luck. Turbo structures are faster and swingier.
From zero to a running tournament clock in about thirty seconds.
Tap Turbo, Standard or Deep — or set your own minutes per level. Turbo for a fast night, Deep to reward real play. The full blind ladder updates instantly.
Choose a break every 4 or 6 levels so players can stretch, top up drinks and re-count stacks. The timer pauses the blinds automatically during the break.
Hit Start, then Full screen to throw the tournament clock onto a TV or spare laptop so the whole table can see the level and countdown.
At the end of every level the clock rolls to the next blinds and sounds an alert, so nobody has to watch the time. A short beep also warns when ten seconds remain.
Running long? Use Prev / Next (or the ← / → keys) to jump a level. The clock remembers your game if the page reloads, so a stray refresh never loses your place.
Yes — completely free, no signup and no ads. It runs entirely in your browser and keeps working offline once the page has loaded.
For a casual home game, 15–20 minutes per level is the sweet spot. Use 10-minute turbo levels for a fast night, or 30-minute deep levels when you want skill to matter more than luck.
Yes. Press Full screen and the clock fills the display — cast or plug a laptop into your TV so the whole table can see the level, blinds and countdown.
Yes. The current level, time remaining and your settings are saved locally, so an accidental refresh or a closed tab won't reset your tournament.
Instead of every player posting a small ante each hand, only the big blind posts one ante for the table. It speeds play up and is standard in modern tournaments — this timer switches it on automatically from level six.
Yes — it plays an alert at each level change and a short warning beep in the final ten seconds. You can toggle the sound off with the Sound button.
