Its always that way yes!! some people seem to have a lot of luck, or just have amazing discipline to stick to their strategy despite the emotional swings & rollercoasters
One of my rare suckouts below. I was bottom of the table. Blocked tag out with the 'all in'.

absolutely! that's the number one premise of it. Fully peer to peer so you aren't playing against a setup house edge or a known probability or anything like that. It will come down to the draw of the cards and your personal skill. Of course some people suggest certain poker games have more luck/less skill or more skill/less luck, we won't get into THAT argument!

To some of the posters above....nothing like a bit of a flutter/bet/poker game!! the adrenaline! haha. we're all hopeless. so long as you have fun and don't go too crazy

UPDATE for Whitelist applicants !! - While the AirDrops have continued to fly in we have been vetting and having our KYC/AML partner company review the Whitelist applications.
Now the vetting for the first round of offers is over, we will be sending out the instructions for completing the Private-Sale in 45 minutes.
Anyone who misses out in tonight's private-sale whitelist of course gets another show in the wider public pre-sale very very soon!


AirDrop participants - more coming your way!! those 2 x 500 EPX bonuses will continue for every 50 AirDrop applications we receive!! then....Round 2 in two days
[/list]

There's so many great entries though!!

Thanks Rachi!
We have a vision...of WSOP 2019 with some of our banners and some of our players...the media will love Blockchain poker experts!
Of course we all know Poker is Poker... but perhaps it keeps a player more sane to have some evidence of the fairness, some data to analyze.

Agreed!
We've been wanting some decent reliable guaranteed-fair Poker online action for a while, and wanting something new and exciting to bring hoards of new players back to the tables....Poker deserves better than the chaos left after the big shutdowns happened! Time to bring some of the excitement back!

I'm quite sure there will be some insane stakes blockchain action to watch, and fun strategic new Sit n Gos we have planned already.

Feel free to join the whitelist if you want!

Our games director has reminded me while I'm posting in here, to ask people what people's favourite new style poker games are. Turbo tables, short-buy in tables, Blind tables, forced multi-tabling...we have that, some of it feels a bit 2010 though, who hasn't played short handed or turbo by now...we will do it, but we have some interesting variations that you can try out for bonuses and jackpots. Maybe they'll make it into the mainstream line up?

If you know of any online poker variations we should definitely look at including, post away with any explanation or images!

Hint: We sent the same enquiry to some big names like Barry Greenstein and Jamie Gold...let you know when we hear their opinion too!

thanks for the comment!
Approvals for white-list entrants are going out in around 60 minutes from now too! Almost no failures from checks so that's great, strong community in the shared maths/blockchain/poker space! 

Haha. Great spirit! It reminds me of the all-in bluff re-raise on the river. Sometimes you just know its a bad strategy but hey....the terror....and the joy of winning it!!


OK TWO NEW WINNERS ARE ANNOUNCED from our 50-100 and 100-150 AirDrop registrations! here they are:
Winner 3
Firstname: Raman
Lastname: Hirhel

Winner 4
Firstname: Adesina
Lastname: Oluwasanmi


Congratulations Raman and Adesina you are both sitting on 750 EPX tokens in the AirDrop balances now! These get sent out on every 7 days so next scheduled for 26/03!
You can further increase your balances with our round 2 promotions coming up.

For now each new block of 50 AirDrop participants will continue to enter a random draw to win 500 EPX tokens on top of the 250 EPX they earned for being in the AirDrop! Good luck everyone! Here's hoping your Poker strategies are less random than this selection

Haha - it was our legal advice that 'all forms of gambling' were banned in Saudi Arabia, so we would be forced to set your account to a play money only state I'm afraid. We don't want to annoy your government

Whether you are permitted to participate in an online token sale and/or crypto-currency is (as usual) a grey area. Ripple claim to operate with Saudi Arabian banks with permission and there were rumours of a state-side crypto raising for a state currency even!

I wouldn't just take our advice on the crypto side though, check it out locally. We'd love to have you in the community either way.

Cheers

absolutely, we have a base of operations mapped out and the local licensing and taxation requirements verified (expensive, but certainly achievable). Since this solution is entirely server-free, swarm-based for web content and blockchain-based for table content and client interactivity, one could argue (dangerously) that there is no need for a license since it doesn't operate in any given country and is spread across all nodes and only peers communicate directly with each other. even the client will be distributed in that manner.

However! we aren't reckless There is a logical case to be made for locating us in the isle of man and taking up a fairly traditional licensing agreement. There is no need to run afoul of legalities when there is a profitable entity that can still operate with huge benefits compared to other major poker sites. we're up for the challenge, we want to do it legally properly the first time, a little like Napster...didn't.

RE: legal requirements we have focused on recent SEC rulings and the exemptions for registered investors and low net trade investment vehicles, and done our utmost to engage legal advice and examine what other startups are doing in this space to ensure that is covered off. it's a bit of a minefield, but we are setting aside a good % of operational budget to solve legal requirements, legislative barriers in different countries, how to work on advertising bans and align ourselves with relevant lobby groups.

Thanks for the valuable commentary on this. It's good for people to know this has been considered at length and a lot of work put in to address issues.
 

Hi Saurav,

Good spot - this is an early whitepaper for us and a new revision is on its way in a few days. Absolutely mobile apps and integration with mobile wallets is a very high priority. We are exploring a few ways to deploy uniformly across mobile using WebKit and/or something with a little more flair like ARCore/ARKit. We have some great mobile skins already worked up by our resident photoshop guru so its a matter of transplanting that onto a beautiful touch UI/UX that works well on tablets and phones.

Definitely a high priority for us. We have some pretty advanced alphas though so rest assured, we're on it

Cheers
