[ANN] FlopJam - No-KYC Bitcoin Poker You Don't Have to Trust (Hold'em + Omaha)

[flopjam]

I used to run a home game. For a while it was the best night of my month. It died the way most home games die. Someone loses, says they'll settle next week, next week turns into a month, and at some point you're the one being weird for bringing up money. The chat goes quiet. Nobody announces that it's over, it just stops happening. Mine stopped a while ago and I still miss it.

If yours died the same way, you can start it back up here: https://flopjam.is/help

So I built the thing I wanted to exist. FlopJam is that home game, except the money is real bitcoin and nobody owes anybody anything once the night ends. You buy in for real, you stack real sats, and you pull your money out to your own wallet whenever you feel like it. No IOUs, no chasing a friend for what he owes you. Honestly that one thing is most of why it exists.

The other half is trust, which on a no-KYC site is everything. You don't know me, and you shouldn't take my word that the deck is clean. So I built it so you don't have to.

Every hand is dealt by a commit-reveal protocol with a zero-knowledge proof. Players mix in their own randomness, the deck falls out of it deterministically, and a proof gets published that you can check yourself. I can't see the cards and I can't set them. Pull up any hand you played and verify the math. Here's how it works and where you check it: https://flopjam.is/fairness

The practical stuff:

No KYC. No name, no email, no ID. Pick a username and sit down.
Bitcoin in and out, on-chain, to any wallet you control. Try it with a small amount first. That's the right instinct and I'd rather you did.
Hold'em and Omaha, including PLO, PLO5 and PLO6. Cash, Sit and Gos, scheduled tournaments and freerolls.
Rake is lower than the big rooms and capped by the hour, so a long winning session doesn't get bled dry.

Two things I want to be straight about; the site is custodial while you're playing, same as any poker room. Your balance sits with us until you withdraw, and you can withdraw any time you want. And it isn't open source. The fairness proof is the part you verify, not the whole codebase.

There's a freeroll every day at 14:00 UTC (4 PM CET, 10 AM US Eastern). Free to enter, real prize, no deposit. The one thing it asks for is a verified email, which is what keeps the free games from getting farmed by one guy with twenty accounts. Easiest way to find out if any of this is real without risking a sat.

I'll be around in this thread, so ask me anything: the proofs, the withdrawals, the rake, the bad beats. You can also find me on Nostr at @flopjam (flopjam.is).

Welcome to the forum. Your Ann Thread isn't professional, although having a pretty Ann Thread isn't mandatory. People on the forum still look at the Ann Thread first before going to the website to see how it is. So I think you need to improve the Ann Thread. Now, speaking about the website, honestly, I didn't see it in a good light. I think the website is ugly and doesn't convey seriousness. It doesn't give the impression of being a serious, long-term business. That's just my opinion.

You are welcome. Please can you meet a professional manager to guide you what to do? And if you don't want other people assistant, you can buy a copper membership to get so e benefits of adding images to announcement thread and other image needed posts. .ake your brand  and the announcement thread for more sight attractive. I checked the ToS, but I didn't see the No KYC rule there. And your website homepage is too plain. At least let there banners.

Welcome to Bitcointalk platform mate. Your website looks dull though maybe the reasons why you have no pictorial excerpt here .  So I will advise you try including some simple pictures on your website and use them here for your official announcement thread. You can get a copper membership so you can be able to upload pictures here on this platform.

Your introduction seems not professional for such an announcement thread as it looks more personal than a good way of showcasing your platform meaningfully.  I will advise you look at other announcement thread and see for yourself how they did theirs and do a review on yours here.

Everything about your website and your ANN thread is looking unprofessional and I don't think that I will like to play poker in your website that is new with no graphics to attract someone or clear his doubt that the site will run for long. Check out other casinos ANN thread in the forum and present yours like that.

You can buy a corper memship here to enable you post graphics but this one year u don't have any graphics in your gambling site, I wonder what kind of graphics you will post here. You should work on improving the gambling site and don't do things in a rush. Meet professional in this field to guide you through.

You said it very well... the ANN thread & website look unprofessional, and far from attractive. There are a few empty cash tables, and I doubt that anyone will decide to run a tournament or club on the site.

He needs to do a bunch of other stuff before buying a coper membership. As you wrote, he needs to improve the site, maybe meet a professional, and he should do something about the marketing... there's no other way to attract players.
