Poker coming to stake.com in the near future !

[Chikito]

For people with skill at poker that might become a lucrative site. Many degen gamblers that just lost with casino games and sports might "try their luck" at poker, fishing time. 

Yes, Poker is one interesting game that we can play in our leisure time. I just remember a long time ago when Zynga poker is very popular in my place where we always play anytime in anywhere, which means If stake can make that Poker is enough friendly to us and also able to play on mobile phones, I really sure they can get the market for all people without exception. I hope they can prepare it carefully, and focus on the development of mobile phones like Zynga, and create a lobby with can play with a minimum bet like $0.1 just for fun.

Usually I would condone self-built software for a casino that is aiming to introduce poker, and I believe that Stake (being apparently so "well funded") would create their own software. However, I would not trust poker coming from a casino that has tens (if not hundreds) of open, unanswered complaints. I do not see a good future for Stake and their founder considering recent (seemingly valid) allegations that he is violating laws in his country by recommending people to use a VPN to bypass jurisdictional limits...That will be a big blow when/if those allegations are proven true. Even if they reach this goal of introducing Poker to their platform, they have a lot to make right if they want it to succeed in the long term.

This is good news for gamblers who like the game of poker and also customers of Stake.com because this addition can make it easier for gamblers to play the games they enjoy on Stake.com.
I'm sure they can prepare everything better so that development can run smoothly and can really be relied on by gamblers who play there.
Maybe in the near future there will be another update provided by Stake.com and the addition of poker games will be realized soon.

On yesterday's stream Eddie said Poker should and will be coming to stake some time soon.
He didn't mention a specific time though.

Its been time , Stake had been serving gamblers for long years and so as Poker that had been the most popular gambling in the world so why not stake is serving their gamblers with this game?
and also this will add many players towards them for better result.

I think that's a great idea. They basically get risk free money through collecting the rake. Having a super big player base this would be a HUGE opportunity for stake and for their players.

they will for sure and that is the stake of course 

Hopefully they are asking the players for their input when creating this! And please, make some moderate rake. 

Well with your post here , then surely they will gather the concerns and responds of gamblers as Bitcointalk is one of the best place where they an gather points from gamblers.

Question is though, will they make their own poker software/network where only stake players will be able to play or will they join a network like ipoker, ggpoker, 888 and so on.

Hopefully it will be their own poker network because they have their own big player base so I think they want to provide their own network and become a competitor to the other existing provider/network. Stake has a big name already in the gambling industry, their advertisement is almost everywhere in the internet as well as in real life through the sponsorship with football club and others. Maybe it will be great for their business if they can have their own network and try to attract poker players from the other existing network.

Now I am wondering if video poker is a different game altogether from the real poker?.
Forgive my ignorance though, I am a total newbie to poker .

Yes they are different, video poker game is a game that you play against the house while real poker (usually called by pvp poker) is a game that you play against other players.

Do not get your hopes up too high... Eddie promise new features and new gambling sites to people in restricted countries, every streaming session ...and it seldom happens.

He is creating content and these things might be in the planning phases, but nowhere ready for implementation. He even laugh at himself, when he makes promises like this... but let's see what happens.

Most of their budget goes into marketing and not into development of new features.... just look at the time that a new original game were last, launched.

I think there is a difference between a new game and a new feature.
A new original game doesn't bring new players, a new feature like poker would 100% do.

Besides poker and casino, poker would be the 3rd leg of the site. Other than the costs for development and hosting there is also no risk of losses in this area. Lean back and collect rake.

Also, he didn't laugh or whatever when he spoke about it. He actually sounded pretty serious.

Third party service provider or just on their own I think with huge user base of stake, they will come in good profit out of it it's a win-win situation on their end.

Well, I think that will make sense if he delivers that promise, for now let's just say it's just a plan. Not that it may bring them forth some good profit but having these kind of features just make players will have something to choose from. It's boring nowadays if you just play one game especially luck-based ones, from time to time it's good to test your skills and play with real people even online.

This is epic news. Personally, I am a fan of poker and I felt that it never really took off in the crypto world when compared to FIAT gambling sites which is why it's great to see Stake taking the initiative to improve its popularity.

However, I hope they launch it as an in-house game which could attract more gamblers for obvious reasons.

[danadc]

I have seen the best trusted publications for the stake.com site , what if I could be Excited to be quite honest is that they can put a game Function to play pvp , there is no other way that might interest me, because I have entered many casino sites and the poker they offer is the same, only they change the way they Present it, but that is something that has not Changed at all , there are no Live tournaments , there are no indications that it is Another way of playing, the only casino that i have seen that has this feature is betnomi and it is full of people on the Forum.

Well building an entire ecosystem of poker network is pretty much the same as building an entire casino from the scratch. Aside from that, its going to cost them fortune to actually do that so I dont think Stake is willing to do that much on a market that has been controlled by several top poker network. At best they will cooperate with an existing poker network then launched poker in Stake, pretty much that

Do not get your hopes up too high... Eddie promise new features and new gambling sites to people in restricted countries, every streaming session ...and it seldom happens.

So its pretty much lip service huh

[www.Gambler.Casino]

It's a good news. I haven't met Live poker in an online casino yet

[famososMuertos]

...::://::: 

There are places! and they work very well, but the issue is the traffic and consequently the prizes, the Fiat casinos dedicated to poker hold weekly tournaments with a wide variety of GTD and buyin.

That is what moves the poker players niche, the buyin/GTD ratio. And several crypto poker casinos have it, not compared in variety and quantity, but there are, usually only on Sundays, or a monthly special.

But even so, in some of these crypto casinos dedicated to poker you can get excellent prizes based on that relationship, but the reality is that the players are limited to staying in these traditional casinos.

On the other hand, you have to distinguish between playing using crypto and depositing crypto, things that several Fiat casinos already have.

^Dont forget that Stake.com has its own forum too, that s probably a potential that there will be more players in live poker.
This is good news and I really like poker games since then, probably I will try to play there and open an account if this will happen. Player to player game in poker is a good one not against on the house edge. I hope this is not only a rumor and Eddie will launch the poker game as soon as possible.

Stakes is more known with sports betting but additional games would be more entertaining especially for gamblers who usually jumps from one game to another. In such case, they won't need to move to other platform just to play poker. I hope other gambling games as well will be added. But I cannot blame those  stake players who'd still play with other poker sites 'coz there are differences and for an instance bonuses and rewards unless stake will offer likewise. Good platforms would adapt with fellow competitors for sure in order to sustain their 'position' or reputation in this industry as one of the most popular ones.

I am very happy if a poker game is added, of course, by using crypto I can play poker games, especially competing in a room against people and betting and it is even more fun if there is a poker competition in it, at least there are new games that I can play on stake sites and not always keep playing Limbo.

I hope Eddie is really serious about adding poker to the Stake.com site because I will definitely feel comfortable there and playing, so far I've only bet on football at Stake which of course it won't be long before the ball game will have a break in the summer so there's no betting balls that I can play, of course it's very boring if you play in certain casinos, I hope there are poker games in the summer.

Well, the owners and the management usually don't lie about such things, they just give out updates when they have actually planned something, it is just that it is not easy to implement everything so quickly and they usually go for one thing at a time and users start thinking that they are doing nothing but that is not the reality.

I've worked with cryptocurrency projects in the past and I know how it goes. The team does its best to bring new features and products for their users but it just takes time and most users are not patient enough.

I have seen a lot of emotion in this hio, many things that are very much waiting for what I am going to do in stake.com, as I said hopefully they can establish a poker game like PVP or live tournaments where you can enter with little money, the idea is that everyone can participate and have a lot of chances to win, that's what I hope anyway, whatever they do regarding poker intrigues me a lot, and that makes me think about a lot of things, besides this casino is one of the most recognized and this makes a difference because they have already Traveled a long way.

The absence of mandatory Know Your Customer (KYC) verification on Stake might raise concerns about potential abuse, as you mentioned. However, it's worth noting that many online poker platforms have security measures in place to combat chip dumping and collusion, even if they allow anonymous play. Implementing effective security protocols is crucial to ensure a fair and safe environment for all players.

My best guess that they will keep it in house because KYC is not mandatory. Some abusers might want to run up some amounts on sports/casino and the chip dump it to somebody on a different site through shared network.

Anyway, I think it's a nice idea. Poker with crypto still is WAY too small.
Let's hope they can create a fun and safe environment with a lot of different poker variations like NLH, PLO, Stud games, Chinese Poker and so on.

Hopefully they are asking the players for their input when creating this! And please, make some moderate rake. 

Well this is a really nice move, I am not a great poker player but I do like it but for some reason poker has never enjoyed the popularity in this market that it deserves, now one of the biggest casinos we have is setting their sights on poker, if they are doing so then we can speculate that this is the case because they are seeing the opportunity to position themselves as the leaders of the poker market of cryptocurrencies without too much of a problem, I hope they are right as it would be great that poker became popular and I could play at any time and there were some poker tables available to do so.
