How to Track Your Poker Sessions (and Why Spreadsheets Fail)
Tracking poker sessions requires recording buy-ins, cash-outs, time, and game details for every session. Spreadsheets...
A built-in poker receipt scanner — snap a photo of your buy-in slip and PokerCharts fills in the venue, date, buy-in, and tournament name automatically.

The PokerCharts receipt scanner replaces that with a single "Scan tournament receipt" button on the new session form. Take a photo of your buy-in slip, and the venue, date, buy-in dollar amount, tournament name, and start time are extracted and prefilled for you. Review the fields, tweak anything that's wrong, hit save. The whole flow takes under fifteen seconds.
Privacy is the first rule. Your receipt image is read into memory, sent to the extraction model, and discarded the moment the parsing is done. Nothing is written to disk, nothing is kept in a database, nothing is searchable later. Only the extracted JSON — the venue name, date, and dollar amount that you would have typed anyway — gets saved to your session record, and only so you can review what was parsed and correct any mistakes. No casino would ever see your session data, and no one scraping our storage could, either.
Casino receipts vary wildly — thermal-printed slips from the cardroom cage, full event programs from major tournament series, cash buy-in receipts with handwritten fields. The extraction model is trained to recognize the common patterns across all of them: "Entry" vs "Buy-In" vs just a dollar amount, dates in MM/DD vs DD/MM formats, tournament names embedded in event descriptions, start times in 12-hour or 24-hour clocks. When a field is ambiguous, the model returns a confidence score and flags the row for manual review rather than guessing. You stay in control of what lands in your session log.
Photograph receipts with whatever camera you have — your phone works best, but screenshots of online tournament confirmations, scanned paper receipts, and even photos of printed event programs all work. The feature is available to all paid plans without extra cost. Free plan users get a limited number of scans per day to try it out before upgrading. No third-party service needed, no separate mobile app to install — it's in the same new-session form you already use every time you play.
Yes — open the new-session form, tap "Scan tournament receipt", and take a photo of your buy-in slip with your phone camera. The venue, date, buy-in amount, tournament name, and start time are extracted and prefilled. You review the fields, fix anything misread, and save. Takes about fifteen seconds — much faster than typing it all in from memory at the bar after the game.
No. The image is processed in memory, the extracted text is read into your session record, and the photo itself is discarded immediately. Nothing is written to disk, nothing is kept in a database, nothing is searchable. Only the parsed text fields (venue, date, buy-in) get saved — the same data you would have typed anyway.
The extraction model handles common European, North American, and East Asian receipt formats — different date orderings (MM/DD vs DD/MM), 12-hour vs 24-hour times, multiple currencies, and various ways of labeling the buy-in amount ("Entry", "Buy-In", or just a dollar/euro/pound amount). For unfamiliar formats, the model returns a confidence score on each field and flags low-confidence rows for manual review.
Yes — screenshot a tournament confirmation email or registration screen and treat it like a paper receipt. The extraction model handles digital text just as well as photographed paper. Useful for online tournaments where there's no physical receipt to keep.
