Frequently asked questions
Open a question for a quick answer. For step-by-step instructions, use the User Guide.
Getting Started
Can I use binked for free?
Yes. You can create and share interactive replays for free.
Do I need an account?
You can watch replays and create hands without signing in. Sign in for viewing history, collections, video exports, blocking creators and AI connections. If you save a hand without an account, keep its replay link.
Which poker games are supported?
No-Limit Texas Hold’em, Pot-Limit Omaha and 5-Card Pot-Limit Omaha.
Will my replays work on iOS, Android and desktop?
Yes. Replays work in modern mobile and desktop browsers. Anyone with the link can watch without signing in.
Can I customize the table theme, avatars or cards?
You can enable a four-color deck in Settings and choose a title when creating a hand. Table themes, custom avatars and other card designs are not currently user-selectable.
Can I turn off the sounds?
Yes. Use the speaker button on a replay or toggle Sound effects in Settings. Your choice is remembered on your device.
Privacy & Saved Hands
Are all replays public?
Yes. Published replays are publicly accessible, and viewers do not need an account. Avoid including names or other details you do not want to share. AI previews are not published.
Can I make a replay private or password-protected?
No. There is no private or password-protected replay mode. Collections are private to your account, but putting a replay in a collection does not make the replay private.
Can I edit a hand after creating it?
No. Check the cards, stacks, actions and title before saving or asking an assistant to publish. To correct a saved hand, create a new replay.
Can I delete a replay?
There is no individual replay delete control. Removing a hand from history or a collection only removes that list entry; the public replay and its link still work. When deleting your account in Settings, you can also choose to delete the hands you created. That permanently breaks their replay links and embeds.
How long are replays stored?
Replays have no automatic expiry and are intended to remain available long term while binked is running. They may be removed through moderation or if their creator chooses to delete their hands when deleting their account.
How do I report content or block a creator?
Open the replay’s more (⋯) menu and choose Report content. To hide hands from another registered creator, sign in and choose Block creator. You can review or undo blocks in Settings.
Sharing, Embeds & Video
Can I embed a replay on my website or blog?
Yes. Paste a hand link into the embed page, choose the dimensions, four-color deck and title visibility, then copy the iframe code into your site.
Can I export a hand as a video?
Yes. Open the replay’s more (⋯) menu and choose Export video. Sign in, select a format and create the video. When it is ready, download the MP4 or share the file to another app.
Which video formats can I export?
Landscape (16:9, 1920×1080) and portrait (9:16, 1080×1920). Both are MP4 at 30 frames per second with the four-color deck, replay animations and sound effects. The table layout adapts to the selected format.
How long does a video take, and how many can I create?
Most hands take a few minutes to render. You can leave and return to the export page later. Complete hands with up to 100 actions are supported, with up to 20 new videos per day across the app and AI assistants. Returning to a previously exported hand and format reuses the video; downloading or sharing it does not use another export.
AI Assistants & Connections
Can an AI assistant create replays for me?
Yes. Connect an assistant such as ChatGPT or Claude to binked, describe a complete hand, and ask for a preview before publishing. Published hands appear in your binked account with a public replay link. The assistant may ask for missing stacks, positions, actions or showdown cards.
Do I need to create a token?
Usually not. The recommended option is OAuth: add https://api.binked.app/mcp as a remote MCP server or custom connector, then sign in to binked and approve the connection. Personal tokens are for scripts, the HTTP API and clients that cannot use this sign-in flow.
Does previewing a hand publish it?
No. Validation creates an unsaved preview. Compatible clients, including ChatGPT and Claude, can show an interactive replay in chat. Publishing is a separate action that creates a public link. Ask your assistant to preview first, check the hand, then ask it to publish. Saved hands cannot be edited.
What can a connected assistant do, and how do I disconnect it?
Depending on the permissions you approve, it can validate and publish hands, start video renders, or both. It cannot read your history or collections, edit or delete hands, or manage your account. Open Settings → AI agents to review permissions and disconnect it. Disconnecting does not delete published replays. Removing the connector only inside the assistant does not revoke its binked connection; unused connections expire after 90 days.
Can my assistant create a video too?
Yes, with video permission. Ask for a landscape or portrait video of a saved hand. The assistant returns a binked export-page link where you can check progress and download the MP4 while signed in to the same account. These renders share your usual allowance of 20 new videos per day.
