The Aces Poker Run app uses GPS to verify your location during events, such as GPS-based stops or timed releases. If you previously selected “Don’t Allow” when prompted, you’ll need to enable GPS manually in your device’s settings.

This quick guide shows how to re-enable GPS permissions on both Android and iOS devices.


📱 For Android Users

🧭 Step-by-Step

  1. Open your device Settings.

  2. Scroll down and select Apps or App Management (the name may vary by device).

  3. Find and tap Aces Poker Run.

  4. Tap Permissions → then select Location.

  5. Choose one of the following options:

    • Allow only while using the app (Recommended)

    • Allow all the time (For continuous GPS-based events)

  6. Return to the Aces Poker Run app and reopen your event. GPS features should now work correctly.

⚙️ Why GPS Access Is Important

The app uses GPS for:

  • Checking in at GPS-based event stops

  • Timing location-based card releases

  • Improving event accuracy and fairness

Without GPS access, you may not be able to receive cards or participate in certain event types.
