01Coaching and gameplay

How do I change the coaching profile?

Go to Settings → Gameplay → Coaching profile and pick UTH Basic Strategy, Balanced Strategy or Disciplined Strategy. At the table you can also tap the brain pill and choose "Use … strategy". The profile is locked during an active hand, so switch between hands. All three profiles are free.

Can I turn the coach off?

Yes, once you have completed 50 hands (the Fifty Strong achievement). Turn off Settings → Gameplay → Coach strategy, or use the brain pill at the table. With the coach off you get no live advice, no debrief comparison and no alignment tracking, and those hands don't earn Daily Stars.

Why does the coach never say Bet 3×?

You can place a 3× preflop bet yourself, but none of the three profiles recommends it. Preflop advice is always Bet 4× or Check, flop advice is Bet 2× or Check, and the final turn-and-river advice is Bet 1× or Fold.

Where is Coach Academy?

It is the Coach Academy card on the lobby floor, next to the casinos. You can also open it from Settings → Lobby → Open Coach Academy or from the casino menu. There are 10 lessons worth up to 4,250 practice chips in total. If you hid the card, turn Show Coach Academy card back on in Settings → Lobby.

Can I continue a hand after closing the app?

Yes. Hold'em Coach saves the hand in progress. Open the app and you return to the same table and street.

Is this real-money gambling?

No. Hold'em Coach uses virtual practice chips only. There is no real-money gambling, no cash-out and no prizes of real-world value. The app is intended for adults 18 and over.

02Purchases and subscriptions

How do I restore my purchases?

Go to Settings → Purchases → Restore Purchases, signed in with the same Apple ID or Google account you bought with. This restores Coach+ and Remove Ads.

I bought a chip pack and the chips are missing. Can I restore them?

Chip packs are consumable, so Restore Purchases can't bring them back. Email hello@suenainteractive.com with your App Store or Google Play order ID and the pack you bought, and we will put it right.

How do I manage or cancel Coach+?

In the app, go to Settings → Purchases → Manage Coach+. On iPhone you can also use Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions. On Android, open Google Play → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions. Uninstalling the app does not cancel the subscription. Practice chips already credited stay in your bankroll after you cancel.

Is there a free trial for Coach+?

Yes. Eligible new subscribers get 7 days free on either plan. After the trial, Coach+ costs $1.99 a month or $11.99 a year in the US (prices vary by region) and renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends.

What does Coach+ include?

Ask Coach on every coached hand (10 messages a day), 50,000 practice chips every day, 2× chips on chip packs (stacking with sales), 1.5× daily streak check-ins, a Coach+ badge on the leaderboards, and no interstitial ads while active. Rewarded videos stay optional.

When do ads appear, and how do I remove them?

Full-screen interstitial ads can appear between hands (after your first few hands of a session, then no more than one every 8 minutes) and after you end a session. There are no banner ads. Remove Ads ($3.99 in the US, one time) or an active Coach+ subscription stops interstitials. Rewarded videos for free chips are always optional.

My free chips aren't showing up.

Free chips are 1,000 every 4 hours, and the timer runs from your last claim. Claim them from the lobby. To get a reminder, turn on Settings → Notifications → Free chips ready.

How does the daily bonus work?

Check in each day to build a streak. Day one pays 2,000 chips, and each day adds 250 more, up to 3,750 a day from day 8. Days 7, 14 and 30 add milestone bonuses of 3,000, 5,000 and 10,000. Coach+ multiplies check-ins by 1.5×.

03Leaderboards and your profile

How do I change my nickname, avatar or country flag?

Open Today's Leaderboard (the ★ pill in the lobby, or the casino menu at the table) and tap your profile. Your name can be up to 24 characters, and there are 50 avatars and 12 ring colours. The country flag is set automatically from your App Store or Google Play country (or your device region) and is shown by default. Pick a different country, or choose "Prefer not to show" to hide it.

How are Daily Stars scored?

You earn 1 star for each hand where you followed the coach on every decision. If you also win that hand with a straight or better you get bonus stars: +1 for a straight or flush, +2 for a full house, +3 for quads, +5 for a straight flush and +10 for a royal flush. Coach Academy hands and hands with the coach off don't score.

When does the leaderboard reset?

The Daily board resets at 08:00 UTC for everyone, not at your local midnight. Weekly follows the ISO week, and Lifetime never resets. The top three each day can claim practice-chip rewards after the day ends.

The leaderboard isn't updating, or I'm offline.

You can keep playing offline. Stars are saved on your phone. When you're back online, open the casino menu and tap Retry connection to sync your stars and refresh the board.

Where are Game Center achievements?

On iPhone, open Settings → Game Center for Achievements and Leaderboards. There are 11 achievements, each paying practice chips, plus Lifetime Hands and Biggest Hand Win leaderboards.

04Ask Coach

How many Ask Coach messages do I get?

Coach+ includes 10 messages a day, reset at local midnight. The limit doesn't change with chip packs or other purchases.

Ask Coach says it is unavailable or at capacity.

Ask Coach can show a "temporarily unavailable" or "at capacity" message when demand is high or during maintenance. Try again a little later. The rest of the app, including the free Coach Debrief, keeps working.

What can I ask?

Questions about the hand on screen: dealer outs, why the coach chose a line, what-if spots and how another profile would have played it. Ask Coach declines off-topic requests. It is not a general chatbot.

What data does Ask Coach send?

Ask Coach is powered by Google Gemini. Each message sends that hand's details, your leaderboard nickname, an optional summary of your play stats, your question and the earlier messages in the thread. See the privacy policy for the full list.

05Sync, history and your data

Does Hold'em Coach sync between my devices?

On iPhone, yes. Your bankroll, hand history (including Ask Coach threads), sessions, a hand in progress, settings and your leaderboard account sync automatically through your private iCloud account. Make sure your iPhone is signed in to iCloud, then use Settings → iCloud Sync → Sync Now to force a sync. On Android there is no cloud sync, though Android's own backup may restore app data on a new phone.

How do I clear my hand history?

Open Coach Report and tap Clear History. This removes all saved hand history and ends your active session. There is no option to reset your bankroll or streak.

I reinstalled and my progress came back. Why?

On iPhone, your data is kept in your iCloud account, so reinstalling restores it. To remove the iCloud copy, go to iOS Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage storage (or Manage Account Storage) → Hold'em Coach.

How do I delete my leaderboard profile?

There is no in-app button for this yet. Email hello@suenainteractive.com and we will delete your leaderboard profile and star history from our servers. See how to delete your data for everything else.
