Coach FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything coaches ask before, during, and after partnering with QuintAce.
Partnership & Terms
How is this different from an affiliate deal?▼
Affiliates promote someone else's product for a commission. You're building your own branded learning community on our platform. Your branding, your pricing, your students, your revenue. We provide the AI coaching infrastructure. You own the relationship with your students. See the full model in your Partnership Proposal.
Is this exclusive? Can I coach on other platforms?▼
Non-exclusive. You can coach on any other platform, run your own Discord, do private sessions, stream on Twitch, etc. The only restriction: you can't simultaneously partner with a competing AI coaching product (i.e., another platform that offers AI poker coaching communities). Regular poker training sites are fine.
What's the contract length?▼
1 year with auto-renewal. Either side can cancel with 30 days written notice. No lock-in, no penalties. If it's not working, you walk away. Your students keep their QuintAce access. You keep your content.
What if I want to leave?▼
Give 30 days notice. Your community members keep their individual QuintAce accounts and any progress they've made. You keep any content you created. The community space closes, but there are no penalties, clawbacks, or hard feelings. We want partnerships that work for both sides.
Do all coaches get the same terms?▼
Yes. 90/10 symmetric for every coach. No special tiers, no negotiation on percentages. This keeps things simple and fair. The only variable is the community subscription price — which you set.
Revenue & Payouts
How does the 90/10 model work?▼
Two revenue streams, same rule for both:
Community subscriptions (the price you set): you keep 90%, QuintAce gets 10%.
Base subscriptions ($8-30/month per student): QuintAce keeps 90%, you get 10% ongoing for every student in your community.
At 100 members charging $25/month, that's roughly $2,440/month to you. Compare to a traditional affiliate deal: ~$475/month for the same students.

What can I charge for my community?▼
Whatever you want. $15/month, $25/month, $50/month — it's your community, your pricing. We don't interfere. Most coaches will likely price between $15-35/month based on their audience and engagement level.
When and how do I get paid?▼
Monthly, on the 10th, via Stripe or PayPal (your choice). You get a transparent revenue report showing: community subscriber count, community revenue, base subscription revenue, and your total payout. Fully automated — no invoicing needed.
What does the base subscription cost my students?▼
QuintAce base subscriptions are $30/month (serious plan) or $8/month (casual plan). This gives them access to all AI coaching tools, practice modes, and platform features. Your community subscription is on top of this. During the launch period, there may be promotional pricing to reduce friction.
What if a student cancels their community sub but keeps the base sub?▼
You stop earning the 90% community revenue for that student, but you continue earning 10% of their base subscription as long as they remain a QuintAce subscriber who originally joined through your community.
Community Setup
What do I need to set up?▼
Minimal setup: community profile (name, avatar, bio, coaching philosophy) and your invite code. We handle everything else — the community page, payment processing, leaderboard, tables, and AI coaching tools. See the Onboarding Guide for the full walkthrough.
Do I need my own Discord server?▼
Recommended but not required. Discord is where most poker communities already live. We recommend setting up channels (#hand-review, #strategy, #community-tables) in your existing Discord. QuintAce MCP tools and Discord bot integration (coming) will bring solver-grounded AI directly into your server.
How do students join my community?▼
They click your invite link or enter your invite code on QuintAce. That's it. They create a QuintAce account (if they don't have one), choose their base subscription, and optionally join your community subscription. The invite code permanently tracks them to your community for revenue purposes.
What product access do I get?▼
Full product access for free — everything a paying subscriber gets, plus 10 seats for your coaching team (assistants, moderators, etc.). You'll also get early access to new features before they go public.
Time & Effort
How much time does this take?▼
As much or as little as you want. Your community runs on autopilot — tables, leaderboard, AI coaching, and improvement tracking all work without you. Zero effort is a valid option. Active coaches typically spend 1-2 hours/week on community engagement (posting updates, sharing analyses, running challenges). See the Growth Playbook for a suggested weekly calendar.
What if I don't have time to be active?▼
That's fine. The community still provides value to your students: always-on tables, AI coaching, leaderboard competition, leak detection, and structured drills. You can be completely hands-off and it still works. Many influencer-type partners will operate this way — lend their name, share the invite link, and let the platform do the work.
What does the weekly coaching workflow look like?▼
~22 minutes per student per week for active coaches:
1. AI pulls your student's session and identifies their top leaks (~automatic)
2. You review the AI analysis and add pool-specific context (~15 min)
3. You deliver the coaching note to Discord (~2 min)
4. Student runs the assigned drill in QuintAce (~automatic)
AI handles 80%. You add the 20% that makes you irreplaceable: pool-specific judgment, accountability, and your coaching vision.

Product & Features
What games and formats does QuintAce support?▼
All major formats: NLHE, PLO, MTT, Short Deck, Bomb Pot, Splash, Spin, and Squid. All powered by the same DRL solver engine. No competitor covers this range of formats with instant solver-quality analysis.
What's different about QuintAce's AI vs ChatGPT?▼
ChatGPT hallucinates poker strategy — it sounds confident but gives wrong answers. QuintAce's AI is grounded in a real DRL solver. Every answer includes actual equity calculations, range breakdowns, and blocker analysis. It doesn't guess. It computes.
Can my students import their real hands?▼
Yes. Students can import hand histories from PokerTracker, HM3, PokerStars, GGPoker, and Bovada. The system detects their leaks in dollar terms (not abstract GTO deviations) and recommends targeted drills to fix each one.
