If you are serious about your brand & product, you should create a proper ANN thread on the Gambling. There, you can post updates regarding the progress of your site. Furthermore, don't forget to create events that involve community members, like this:

(1) 🏆♠️ DurakCrypto | FREE POKER Freeroll | ✅ FINISHED Oct 20 | 🎁 Prize $50

That can help build awareness of your brand's presence.

First of all, welcome to the forum.
I have few questions.
1.) How do you make money if there is no rake?
2.) How do I know that I will not be playing against superusers? Do you have third party lab certifications?
3.) Do you have options to rebrand the poker table and other variables for branding purposes like pokernow?
4.) Do you have option to create bounty hunter poker tournaments?

1.) How do you make money if there is no rake?

They answered this in their terms;


All I can understand is they are trying to suggest their flat payment is cheaper than rakes which is percentage based. Without full disclosure we cannot confirm that and they should not present it as if their platform had no charge.

[TheCaptainAhab]

thanks man, i'm glad to be here

to answer your questions :

1) we charge an one time entry fee that you pay when you first enter the room, on the site it's called (ticket), the fees start at 1 dollar and we charge an hourly fee that start at 0.50, we have a 0 rake policy across the entire platform.

2) we take platform security very seriously, Admin tools do not allow live card viewing during hands, and hand state data is encrypted to prevent superuser vulnerabilities, we don't have a third party lab certification yet because we just launched and we're a small team, and to be honest with you, we're in this for the love of the game, we're not interested in just the money aspect of it, and we're definitely not in it to rob people, we believe that not all money is good money.

3) i know that it would be better if we had rebranding options for the poker tables and the tournaments, but at the moment sadly we don't, but it's definitely on the development roadmap for for a future update.

4) we decided to start with the basics that most people know, even if they don't know a lot about poker, as of now we have the classic SnG tournament, the public rooms and the private rooms that are password protected.

thanks a lot for the questions and we'll definitely make a lot of updates in the future based on peoples requests, but again if you have any other questions, feel free to ask away, thanks.

i get it but everything about the pricing and how things work is stated on the site's terms and conditions, i didn't mean to make anyone think that it's fully free, but it's a lot cheaper than any other standard poker site with a better and easier experience.

You say starts at, what factors can cause the entry fee or hourly fee to be more than that? Is there a percentage factor involved?

the ticket and the hourly fee gets higher the higher the tables limit is, so the high limit rooms have a higher fee, the SnG tournaments have no hourly fee and the private rooms are a set fee unless you want a custom room with very high limits, you have to email me for that.

thanks for the advice about the replies on the forum.

[Ronsbit]

thanks for the advice man, i'm new here so i don't know how everything works yet, but thanks for the help

With time you will get acquainted with the forum. I will advise you to take your time to read those threads that links were presented by a member so you will have the idea on what to do and how to go about what you want to do so you don't have challenges in the course of your presence here.
It is better you upgrade your account to a copper membership so you can be able to upload pictures from your website to give your official announcement thread the nice and attractive look it desires to attract members attention to your thread.

1.) How do you make money if there is no rake?

They answered this in their terms;

I think it's dishonest that they advertise a “100% rake-free poker site” here, and you have to read the fine print to find out how they make money. If they start off being this dishonest, I wouldn't use that site for anything in the world. At best, they're amateurs; at worst, they're scammers.

Well if you actually took the time to visit the site you would know that before entering any room, everything that you'll pay is clarified for each room, you took a screen shot from someone who actually took the time and looked at our terms and services to see what the site was about and you said you have to "read the fine the fine print to find out how they make money" no, again before any player enters or even chooses what room they want to enter, they see what they'll pay and what're the stakes of the room, and what are the blinds, and if they hit join, a pop up says "you'll pay a ticket price of X and an hourly fee of Y", again we're not here to scam or trick players out of money, we're here to provide a better poker experience without taking anything from the players pot.

Reading those things, it leave an impression that they are trying to mislead people here. That 100% rake free advertisement then trying to hide the real situation happening in their site, makes them so shady.

They supposed to be transparent on everything, but look at those things. It seems they are not doing honest business here, then maybe try to deceive people by offering such misleading promotion.

So I can say that if they are really like that, they are not a good casino to try on.

[TheCaptainAhab]

ALRIGHT, TO CLEAR ALL OF THIS UP, WE'RE NOT A FREE SITE, ALL OF THE PRICES ARE LISTED ON THE SITE, WE'RE NOT HERE TO SCAM PEOPLE OR MISLEAD ANYONE, TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE PRICING VISIT THE SITE, THANKS.

[Agbe]

we're here to disturb the casino scene,

This is what like in your announcement thread and foe you to disturb or beat other casinos in the scene, you have to work harder and be ready to attract gamblers to your casino but for now, I have not seen anything that attract gamblers (poker lovers) to your website. And the first thing is you have a very poor presentation of the announcement thread and you have to upgrade it by acquiring a copper membership badge so you can post images and beautify the announcement thread.

So from there we will know if you are here to disturb the casino space or scene to say.

Welcome to the forum! It's good to see another poker site here, we run a poker platform too, so I'm curious how this develops.

A few questions, since the pricing is what people keep asking about:

1. Can you give a concrete example? For instance, what does a player pay in total for a 2 hour session at your lowest table, ticket plus hourly fee? That would make it easy to compare with a normal percentage rake.

2. Do the ticket and the hourly fee cover your costs at low limits, where the tables are small? I'm asking how sustainable it is, not trying to catch you out.

3. Do you have provably fair shuffling? If so, how does it work: can players verify the deck after a hand (seeds, a hash committed before the deal), or is the shuffle done only on your server?

Good luck with the launch.

thanks a lot man, i hope your business is doing well.

1) for the lowest table a 2 hour session cost 2 dollars, that includes the hourly fee and the ticket price.
2) from our calculations yes, we don't think we'll have to increase the prices on the site any time soon.
3) we don't have a third party verification as of now, we did multiple shuffle tests and we passed them, we just launched 3 days ago, we still have things to improve and work on.

if you have any advice for us on how to attract players let me know.
