If you are scare people abuse your poker games, you should restrict their ip to have only 1 account so you do not really this vip thing. Use the vip thing to get the extra benefit, if this vip means only we can bet huge amount, I do not think people will like it. There's going to be IP restrictions regardless. If someone is a mid/high-stakes poker player, I don't think they will have too much problem with playing a tiny bit of dice or verifying their independence.

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

So poker is almost ready to go live now! We are just waiting on a new homepage and some poker landing pages that describe how things work then we can promote/open to players.
How is BetKing poker different? We are going to have a vip exclusive poker site. All mid to high stakes tables will be restricted to vips. (all small stakes tables open to anyone).
To become a VIP you need to: a) Be invited to BetKing by me, affiliates or trusted reps b) Request access to play in the games by emailing support or via social (somewhere we can confirm you are a real person) c) Have played dice (or other games we launch in the future) by depositing to BetKing. Not faucet.
Why? This stops people being able to create 6 accounts and sitting in the games with bots. It also reduces the chance of collusion by not allowing multi accounting and there's a smaller chance friends are sitting in games sharing cards. We will eliminate bumhinting and have no option for seat scripting this way (anyone approved access caught doing this will have their VIP status removed). The games will not be full of multi tabling rakeback grinders (we don't have rakeback as a promo).
Rake will be lower than the competition (nitro etc) it's similar % as stars but with smaller cap.
We want to provide an environment that recreational players and gamblers feel safe playing without the worry of cheating, bots, collusion, huds or bumhunting.
All feedback/questions welcome
After betcoin ceased supporting poker games, hopefully, their players will find betking to be their new poker home. Are you not thinking of an "Opening-Like" tourney to promote this?

As pawel7777 pointed out this is not exactly a difficult barrier for someone, who is looking to create multiple accounts. I also have another question. Will it be necessary to download a poker client or is it possible to play in the webbrowser?

Dean is using 3rd party poker software it's completely built in html5 and javascript[1]. the demo/test has been removed, but if you still want to see how it looks like etc.. open nitrogensports's poker or just wait till poker is live on betking.

Actually it will be difficult barrier for people looking to multi account as they need to have wagered a lot or lost a lot. Not just bet 0.000001 btc.

You can test out the poker software for small stakes BTC. Go to https://betking.io/bet/dice and you will see a play poker button at top if you are logged in. You can sit at the small stakes cash games for nlhe/plo (games above 1mbtc/2mbtc are locked for our vip program). Note that this is not an official launch, we still need a bit of content for homepage, banners in poker software, page on rake, vip, faq etc. You might not find anyone to play with right now due to no one knowing about it Everything should be done this week though then we can promote properly. Feedback welcome (especially any bugs)

What happened to all the money that was supposed to go towards hiring new developers to create a Casino? What about advertising? Has all that's really been done is add poker software that's pre-made and only costs like $2k, and add a few currencies + website re-design? And then you want to restrict "high stakes" games to VIPs when the source of those games running is going to be fish who most of the time make new accounts, deposit, lose quickly, and never come back? Additionally... why would anyone play poker here? The site is dead and there's low rake Bitcoin Poker options in several places, including Nitrogen which has the exact same software and a large player pool. And oh yea... you're spending all this time on poker development when poker creates a fraction of the revenue that a casino/sportsbook would.
I tried to warn people not to invest in the ICO, it was destined for failure from the beginning. But how about at the very least you spend some of the tens of millions of dollars you raised to actually give these guys a shot at recuperating at least a small portion of the Bitcoin they invested by spending the money they gave you and investing it back into the site? You killed your site and screwed over every person who ever trusted you (investors) - no wonder it's dead now.

Is there a minimum wagered requirement? If not, that won't really stop anyone from creating multiple accounts. Would you also disallow multiple players logging in from same ip to play at the same table or same tournament?
Are there going to be a separate balances for poker and dice, or can players use the same funds to play both? Have you decided on buy-in/blinds structure? If so, can you share the details? Requiring wagering for this is shame, you offer VIP? That's good, I think first two is already enough but if you require wagering a lot this isn't correct action and mustn't be acquited by the words that you only do this to make it difficult for people to create alt accounts. Even it won't work.If I have some money to spend here, I will wager, also there is possibility to ask friend for verification here and not a one friend, a lot of friend, will wager on all account because have money (for example). So not a big deal, better to use different strategy.

Easy there buddy. Read his post again. Wager requirement is just one of three options to register for poker. You can still be invited by Dean/trusted reps or request it through social media or emailing support.

Not sure if it's against your terms or not, but you guys should know that GP is posting BetKing affiliate links on his site while simultaneously trying to scam players in other ways (fake legal advice). See his feedback for details.

Do you have also proof that I tried to scam anyone? Have you opened a scam accusation here on bitcointalk? If not, why not? Are you able to quote the fake legal advice? As a poker player you have surely a good knowledge about legal things!

Do I need to post in the BetKing details on my website that players who want to become a poker VIP needs to contact me? Poker affiliate program is yet to be finalised. Will post it next week. The only way for people to become VIP's if they have not wagered on dice is to contact me, or I contact them. No one should be trying to go through someone else at this time

Hello BetKing.io,
Is it possible for you to look up my account from the old betking.io system before we setup new usernames and accounts? I had a fair bit of activity on the old system and would love the opportunity to try your poker and get an invite.
Feel free to let me know if you would like me to send you anything.
Thanks!

Do all these conditions need to be met, or just any one of them? ie. is this an "a, b, AND c" list or an "a, b, OR c" list? When combining conditions to make more complex conditions it is useful to specify the operator being used. Otherwise the complex condition is ambiguous. It seems some people have read the list as a conjunction of the three terms, making wagering at dice a requirement. That's how I initially read it. But that may turn out to be the wrong interpretation.

Why don't you add the RLT token to your supported tokens list? This coin has a real potential and can provide you with the big number of the new players.
