Everything your HR, IT security, and executive committees look for in a team bonding platform:
📋 Host-Controlled Access & Rewards

🛡️ Executive & HR Compliance FAQ
Does DabHousie align with corporate entertainment and non-gambling policies?
DabHousie is designed to support corporate event policies and host-defined reward rules. It operates strictly without cash wagering, player buy-in pools, or cash payouts. Hosts determine voucher values in accordance with their corporate policies and event budgets, retaining full control over prize-claim approvals. Organizers should verify their event setup against applicable company policies and local laws.
How does DabHousie run on corporate networks?
DabHousie provides browser-based access using standard web connectivity over HTTPS and secure WebSocket (WSS) connections on port 443. It requires no desktop executables, mobile app installations, or browser plugins; availability may depend on specific corporate network policies and firewall rules.
What happens if attendance is lower than expected at start time?
Game credits are deducted only when an event actually starts. For scheduled games, if confirmed attendance is below the configured quorum at kickoff, the organizer receives an alert with a decision window to reschedule, proceed, or cancel before any game credits are deducted. Host credit packs have a 1-year validity.
How is private event access managed?
DabHousie generates the event OTP/PIN and provides it to the host. The host controls how access credentials are distributed to intended participants. While credentials can be forwarded by recipients, host-controlled single-use credentials provide an effective layer for internal event coordination without public open entry.
Can we display our company logo during the event?
Yes. Corporate hosts authenticating with a verified organization domain can activate Domain-Verified Automated Approval (DVAA™) to display their company logo on digital player tickets, the waiting lobby, and the big-screen TV / projector display.
How do corporate host credit packs work?
DabHousie offers transparent one-time host credit packs without recurring subscriptions, including the 100-player Large Gala Pack ($10) and the 250-player Mega Event Pack ($20). Unstarted games never deduct credits, and credits remain valid for 1 year from purchase. Explore all options on our Pricing page.
