Bitcoin Forum

Interesting project with online poker. Now appear a lot of different services in the projects with poker and gambling.

Let me get this straight. The currency you can bet with in that casino is the PokerFi altcoins? Do you accept any other currency? Wouldn't it be better to at least accept bitcoin as well? If I have to buy an altcoin I will not try the casino but if I can do it directly with bitcoin maybe yes.

I think they are making a PokerFi alt that can be used in other casinos, and they plan to build their casino...


They have some amazing ideas, but except for big ideas and words I can't say I see anything else. If you check their roadmap (I am not sure if it's a mistake or not), they are pretty much late for now... everything written there goes from 2021 to 2023 and I don't see them doing any of that, and there's nothing about 2024. So I am not sure what's happening with this project, but they seem to be stuck somewhere along the way.

If it will be simple to buy native token people will use this casino but if it will be difficult they will prefer to use the other one.

   Online poker is the edge of causing a great change,driven by the process of Blockchain technology and cryptocurrency ,this changes is ready to reshape the way players  come about transactions, in order to ensure fairness and feel the game.

Online poker is profitable when you win often but has become difficult and challenging with rakeback programs losing value. The capability for getting your income from poker as a digital movement from one place to another is huge, a good run ends you with a lot of money for your monthly expenses .

Playing poker and winning can be a full-time great means of livelihood ,and as a full-time poker you can come with your own set of challenges.

This coin has been here since 2021 as we can see in https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/pokerfi/

I'm just curious, why is this altcoin is not yet listed in a decent exchange? And here they now make an ANN thread, why it had not happen in the past.
Can OP tell more about this project as this looks like a dead project that was recently reborn to me, please correct me if I'm wrong.

---

Anyway, welcome to the forum!

OP has to confirm if he is part of the team or just hired to market the platform, for a project to have existed for 3 years and have not move up or added in a decent exchange, it can only mean that they are not properly marketed it so its possible that they've hired OP to shill the project, because OP has the word marketing in his username.

So far the project only has on exchange and its a decentralized exchange if you compared it to other projects' performance that started three years I can say that this project will soon become a shitcoin with a current The current CoinMarketCap ranking is #4939.

Well, I see the umpteenth poker project in this section, and as far as I can see it is a tied to a shitcoin project that has been planned for some time but seems to be delayed in its implementation. So I find it even less attractive than the ones I usually see here. Let's see if the OP clarifies something.

I do not think that shitcoin can live so long. May be bitcointalk was not interested to this platform  ??? Just think about this.

I doubt OP is part of the team, I checked his post, he made 3 including this one but the other two were different projects or altcoins. But let't wait if he can reply here, there's a lot of questions that needs to be answered, so if he is really actively marketing this ( as seen in his name) then we should expect an answer anytime soon as that's the only chance this project might grow a bit.

Always nice to see crypto based poker sites being created.
It's always hard to get into this area as sites like SWC has proven. Even a well working software doesn't mean the site can be a success. It is hard to gain a player base, I have seen that for years at SWC. It only got worse until it felt like the owners started to do shady stuff just to keep it running and squeeze more out of the exiting but small player base.

For that reason I am always hesitant to try new place to play poker.

Will come back to this in a couple of weeks/month to see if there is actually something happening at Pokerfi.

I am not member of the team of  PokerFi. I am just topic starter.

Then you have to state on the announcement that you are not part of the team, this is a gambling announcement and without giving them your participation on the platform people will think that you are part of the team, and any issue that may arise coming from users who participate coming from this this announcement then you are partly responsible and may we know are you hired in their behalf to announce their project here.

Looks like the project is a failed one based on how long they have been running the platform and not getting enough support, there's a risk in participating in this project so join or invest at your own risk.

According to a domain name, it looks like PokerFi is a Brazilian project. I tried to visit pokerfi.com.br but I can't access the website, it gives me error 1016, origin DNS error. Also two of your ANN thread images are missing and please fix that.

This coin ranks #4664 on Coinmarketcap, basically a dead coin, so no normal exchange would list it but as you mentioned, it's really curious that this project exists since 2021 and this is the first time we see ANN thread.

OP you are very welcome, I can't wait to access your website, register and start playing poker because you have a very good Poker software. Crypto community really needs a good poker website.
For anyone being curious, here is the video of how their poker game looks: https://twitter.com/i/status/1726260651444556066

Creating a thread here with an announcement of a certain casino won't gain readers once not maintain, it will only work unless the casino is already an established one. However, judging on the casino tokens standing in CMC, it's very clear that this project hasn't been develop or safe to say have failed their target. I haven't read the road map of the project, but judging on the number of years from the time it was created til now, it's very evident that it's not gaining the interest of the community.

Checking your post history you are creating announcements on projects are you hired to start a thread on behalf of the project, or did you just do this to build your portfolio so you can offer this kind of service, better check the kind of project you're going to post here, the majority thinks that this project is going on oblivion.

It could backfire on your account if you keep opening projects that many people here think are not worth or dead projects, this project after 3 years failed to generate support from investors.

There is no too much input yet because the site is not opening. And PokerFi, is it the token of the Casino? Or it is the network of the token please can you make some clear statements so we can understand what you are saying or make the website working so we can check the about the site and the terms and conditions of the project. Op as you said you and not part of them then you have to make it clear on the op so that people will know you are just and representative of the project here in the forum and not part of them. At first I thought you are the owner of the project.

I'm quite confused about what PokerFi is advertising because it's not the poker game itself but the ability to launch tokens, nfts, and other stuff. Why not focus on offering a different kind of game with poker or something.

To be honest, I don't understand why you've called your platform PokerFi while it has nothing to do with DeFi, GameFi, SocialFi or GambleFi especially.
From what is showing the screenshots, it's not decentralized at all, it's not a dapps and it doesn't use the Web3 technology unfortunately, since you obviously need to register an account, to give your email address and to login  with a username and a password. At least you're not hidden it with those pictures in the OP but it's sad to have chosen a misleading name. It could disappoint your prospects.

As I see here admin first created casino and developed it and only after that he started to promote it on bitcointalk.

Well, regarding the site, do you have plans to put it in metaverse? do something different? This is something that has me thinking, I see that they accept USDT, but how are they going to make it competitive with the other casinos? Are they going to develop the PVP path to offer us something different? because in all the most reliable casino sites there is poker, just not in PVP mode, it is something new and I am sure that a lot of people might like it, this is what I see that they can look for, in addition to creating a good reputation, great trust, and of course make more and more improvements to the site, if it is an app I only think they have to go much further , because I am not much of an app player.

That's because there's only so much that you can do that's original and not tiring in the eyes with poker, almost every casinos' probably done some kind of variation to poker so I get why they're trying hybridization with financial tools, a way to try out things that might work or might not work, the only issue that I've got with this one is that OP isn't responsive on this thread, I'm pretty sure that you need to be talking to the people that are asking questions about your services no?

It has become so clear that this project will remain dead because although OP had made an ANN thread here but he is not part of the team which could give some light on the queries and speculation. Hello! it's been awhile, and suddenly there was an ANN thread, I don't know why the team didn't even realize making one here knowing that bitcointalk is the most popular forum for crypto and probably the best place to announce a fresh project.

And by the way, I tried to click the picture in the OP, i was directed to a website that can't be reach.


Anyone here able to access that?

They have some problems with ssl sertivicate but access to the site available.

It is not accessible, the site above. OP should fix the link of their ANN.


If they are not active here, then, they should not expect that people will be interested on learning more about their site.
And that is right, the thread title itself says the future of online poker. So of course, people will expect that they will be offering online poker games here. But for now, I couldn't see the content of their page.

That's strange, did you buy Copper Membership just to create an ANN thread for a company where you don't work? Anyway, it's very good that there is a crypto website dedicated to real Poker game and I would really love to gamble on it but first of all, I need to clarify where is the game link. On the main website there is a talk about PokerFi, poker & blockchain technologies and I don't understand how to access the game. Is it only dedicated to Brazilian players?
I don't know whether you have the right to create an ANN thread for someone but it would be interesting and beneficial for the project if there is a thread on Brazilian board (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=134.0).

There are so many different casinos but not all of them are able to survive because the competion between them is very big and only the best casino will be able to survive.

That is why casino must have a lot of users and players. To do this casino must continue to develop and offer more new services and tools.

For me all these things are too many red flags that I wouldn't bet a penny on the site. At the very least it looks unprofessional, if not worse. If in general I already prefer to play poker on fiat sites for many reasons rather than crypto, of course on this site my interest is 0.

I wouldn't bet either because first of all, this website seems to be for Brazilians and I can't find a way to even reach the page where I'll be able to Play poker. Also, it looks like website doesn't accept Bitcoin and Altcoins except its PokerFi currency. But I wouldn't say that this is a bad project, no, it looks interesting and I like the fact that there is someone who tries to start a Poker business in crypto world.
As far as I understand, this is their Poker's user interface and it looks good:

By the way, fiat poker websites have no competitors at the moment.

Just last information from their telegram
🔥 Big news! We're thrilled to announce POKERFI as a PREMIUM GOLD SPONSOR for Web3Dubai!
More information at their telegram https://t.me/PokerFiEnglishOfficial

Participation in such events allow to attract more attention to the casino and attract more users their.

 Here is an official website of the event in Dubai

 Pokerfi is in the Sponsors and Community tab

 https://web3dubai.io/

More information can be found in their telegram.

I can see their logo in the Community tab, but not among the Sponsors. Please prove me wrong. And it is not surprising because I guess that to become Sponsors they have to have a great reputation (Harvard University...) and/or pay an important sum of money.

The idea is quite good, but I don't see how they could compete in the metaverse with well established poker companies; and the fact that the project has been dormant since 2021 may suggest that they simply want to take advantage of the bull run and nothing more. Time will tell.

I find it something new but many of these "Fis" projects don't get traction anymore. While you can still be known and get popular this time, it doesn't go along anymore with the community. It's just best if you'd focus dominating with the entire online crypto poker industry but without using these FIs matters.

Does your website automatically go with the BR domain? because if so, much better if you put that into the English domain as default. I think that you're focusing on the Brazilian users if that is so.

But if not, then it's best for you to have it defaulted for global users in English.

They actively promote this event and their participation in social networks ecpessially in telegram.

It is very important to attract attention to the casino. The liquidity of the casino depends how many users it has.

There are so many casinos. And the competition between them is so big. That is why it is very difficult to attract attention to the casino. That is why it is necessary to create and offer tools that are really necessary for players and will allow them to get more profit.

It's not going to succeed. Anything that puts barriers in the way of people spending money goes against business. Has it ever happened to you to go to buy something online, have a problem and they ask you to put your card numbers back in or something, and you decide not to make the purchase? If I want to play poker, I see this site, I think about depositing and playing, but I see that for that I have to buy a shitcoin that I do not have, it is quite likely that I will not deposit and instead go to a site that accepts Bitcoin or a fiat one.

People have a big choice of casino to play. But it is necessary to remember that first of all casino pays money for itself and then to players.

it doesn't work like that, casinos operate with a house edge, so they will win in the long run. Put yourself in the gambler's position and you will understand that you have more losses than your wins, in opposite, that' what the casino enjoys.

To make it simple..

Casino pays Gambler A with $200, and  casino win from Gambler B by $300, they are still at profit by $100. So if we really want to be in the profitable side all the time, we should be a casino, or invest on a casino if possible.

Well, in order for 1 person to win a large sum, 10 people must lose.  ???

PokerFi? Sounds good, but I don't think this project will be successful since poker isn't really popular in the crypto gambling world and time has proven that again and again. There are fewer players and more bots in crypto poker tables which says it all.

FIAT poker sites are still the best way to play poker online in my opinion.

It's true, and the big question is when will see a crypto poker site that will come close to fiat poker sites in terms of players, games, prizes, bonuses, etc. There have been some attempts so far, but it seems that there aren't enough poker players in the crypto world... And for fiat poker players to decide to change from fiat to crypto, they probably need some bigger incentive. I guess there should be more options regarding tables, bigger prizes, and maybe various bonuses, etc. I don't see that anyone has been willing to invest so much in crypto poker. Maybe a bigger casino like Stake (or some other big crypto casino) could make a difference, but apart from some earlier rumors, I haven't seen anything concrete from them.

We cannot predict what the outcome may be for the pokerfi this time around, since they are making improvement over the usual poker game we have been having before, what gamblers want is something new and captivating, if they are willing and ready to give every necessary efforts needed to promote their self then they will achieve up to required expectations in it, everything begins with having a try.

PokerFi has not only poker, but also a casino with various games and slots. So the players have a lot of choice.

Maybe> But what they are marketing is the game poker as the name of the project states.

I looked at their website and I can see this words... "The future of online poker has arrived : PokerFi".
So that means big time because they are claiming it would disrupt the current norms of poker.

Question is, how come until now its token are still of a very low value?

The price of a token largely depends on its liquidity and the need for it.

Yes, poker must be their main game here and this is not just a simple poker game but it is also an NFT. Speaking of NFT, it seems they are making a comeback because I've noticed that new casinos coming on our forum are like this.

Poker with NFT capability truly sounds ground breaking at first hear but I wonder why there are no casinos who attempted to make this before when NFT's are still on the trend? Hmm.. Or maybe there are a few but as usual, their hypes didn't last long like the other NFT projects. For now, the tagline/slogan that you saw will only remain as is. It won't disrupt the current norms of poker until everyone is talking about them. That also answers to why their token is still low in value.

Too much different poker games but now technology actively developing and offer people more opportunities such as games with NFT and many other tools like this.

Poker continue to be the game that attract a lot of people but other games and useful tools are necessary too.

It's true, Personally I have always said something, when we are playing poker we are people who are always going to Generate ways to do things better with Strategies and with some luck , however when we are we see everything that can attract the poeple in a casino, it is necessary that the necessary things are always available, for Example black jack is one of the most popular games and the sltos, I think that with those games it is possible for people to be in the casino , of course , Other Games with dice, plinko among others are very good and can make a Difference too.
