To receive payments from your Aces Poker Run events, you’ll need to connect a Stripe account. Stripe is our secure payment processor, and all funds collected from hand registrations and in-app sales are deposited into your connected Stripe account.
🏦 Why You Need Stripe
Stripe allows you to:
Collect event registration fees and item sales (e.g., t-shirts, dinners, extra cards)
Receive payouts directly to your bank account
Ensure secure, compliant, and timely fund transfers
Stripe is required for any event using in-app sales through Aces Poker Run.
U.S. Based Organizers – Sales Threshold Limit
If you're located in the United States, you can begin collecting money from in-app sales immediately before completing payout setup, with one important condition:
⚠️ Sales are capped at $600 until Stripe is connected
Once your event reaches $600 in total sales, the app will block additional transactions until you complete Stripe setup.
This policy is required by Stripe and ensures proper tax and identity compliance.
🌍 International Based Organizers – Stripe Setup Required to Publish
If you’re outside the United States, Stripe setup must be completed before your event can be published and made available to participants.
This is a Stripe policy — Aces Poker Run cannot override this restriction.
🔗 How to Set Up Stripe
To connect or create your Stripe account:
This guide walks you through:
Creating a new Stripe account (if you don’t have one)
Connecting an existing Stripe account to Aces Poker Run
Verifying your identity and adding a bank account for payouts
💡 You only need to do this once — your Stripe account remains connected for all future events.
📍 Where to Set This Up
To configure your payout method:
Manage Events > Select Event > Edit Payout Method
You'll be prompted to launch Stripe’s secure setup portal.
✅ Closing Your Event Triggers Payout
Once your event ends, you must close the event to initiate the payout process.
Manage Events > More Event Options > Close Event
If you haven't completed payout setup yet, you'll be redirected to Stripe before you can proceed.
💡 Payouts won’t process until the event is closed and Stripe is fully configured.

🔄 You can update your Stripe account or bank info anytime
