Hotbar mounts to your monitor bezel and charges siblings, roommates, and partners for every controller, couch seat, and carry they consume. Funds settle in 2 business days or one ranked match, whichever ends first.
Three billing modes ship on every unit. They run in the background while you play and post to the household ledger at the end of each match.
Player 2 is billed from the moment the light turns blue. A drift surcharge applies automatically if they flick the stick near the vents.
Anyone who stands behind your chair for more than 40 seconds is presented with the reader. Commentary is billed separately at the advice rate.
Getting your cousin through a raid used to be a favor. Hotbar itemizes every revive, every boss pull, every "just stand there," and emails a PDF to his mom.
The Hotbar Register is live in the demo. Add a couch seat, pick a customer, and watch the tip screen ask Mom for 20%.
"My brother owed me $412 in controller time. I didn't know that until Hotbar told me. Now he knows too."
"I put the second reader on the mini fridge. Energy drink theft is down 80 percent. My roommate moved out, which is also down."
"The tip screen asked my dad for 20% after he brought me a sandwich. He tipped. We have not discussed it."
Every plan includes the reader, a USB-C cable, and a sticker that says "Card only" for your door.
2.9% + 30¢ per tap. Same as everyone else.
For households with exactly one other person who keeps asking.
For LAN parties, dorm floors, and one man named Derek with nine monitors.
