# The dice game where one 7 wipes out the pot

BANKO! is the free Bank dice game for game night. Start a table, send one link, and everyone’s in: no account, no download. Build the pot together, then bank before someone rolls a 7.

- Free to play
- iPhone, Android & web
- Cross-play at one table
- 2+ players

## Bank it or risk it all?

Every roll makes the pot bigger, and every roll makes the next 7 more painful. Bank too early and you leave points behind. Wait too long and the pot is gone.

## How BANKO! works

### Start a table

Open BANKO! on any phone or browser, type a nickname, and create a game. No sign-up, ever.

### Send one link

Share the invite in your group chat. Friends tap it and they’re in, whether they use the app or just a browser.

### Roll, bank, repeat

Take turns rolling into the shared pot. Bank before the 7, and whoever has the most after the last round wins.

## Everything a dice night needs

No accounts, no app store detour. A nickname is all it takes to join.

iPhone, Android, and the web all sit at the same table, so nobody gets left out.

### Pass & play

One phone for the whole group. Tap to roll, or throw real dice and type in the result.

Optional chaos: Double Trouble, High Stakes, Danger Zone, Mystery Surge, and more twists mid-round.

### Seasonal events

Fall Harvest, Halloween, and Fireworks bring limited-time rules, table effects, and dice.
