Free poker!....Laugh out Loud! WTF is free poker? Free poker takes about 90% of the game's strategy away...if the chips used to bluff, build equity, and advance in position have no value, then there is no reason to play! Wow, free poker....here let me get out my wallet and buy some BRK so I can play imaginary poker! LOL
Are there any real online poker player's here who recognize Chris Ferguson's influence in this project? Or, anybody having a little deja vu with the functionality of the poker client? Anybody who's familiar with the various poker softwares provided by the different networks can tell, even with the facelift, where this software originated....right?
There's something amiss here....Why are the US players subject to regulation if we're using a blockchain....
I like the concept....sorta....and the poker client....but my spidey senses are tingling.
Anybody else?
You really should take 3 minutes to get to know a project a little before making a lame attempt to FUD.
We don't only offer free poker. We offer valuable PRIZES with no cost to enter. There are tournaments with real prizes, both in BRK, cards, and BTC with no cost to enter. This is common knowledge with hundreds of tweets, FB posts, slack announcements, and probably an announcement a couple posts above yours. There will be another site launched mirroring the free to play site but for BRK coins. This will be considered real money and players will be able to buy in BRK using credit cards plus many popular payment processing methods.
You don't need deja vu or look behind a "facelift" or draw parallels with "various poker softwares [sic]". The poker software is supplied by Riversource IP AG and used by Betconstruct. This is public knowledge. Quote from a Press Release:
“We’re very proud to be the selected poker software partner for Breakout Gaming”, said Sofia Papadopoulou, CEO of Fabled Network and Andreas Näscher, director of Riversource IP AG. “They have all the right elements in place for success, and we look forward to adding a real money poker option in the coming months.”Do you think the Blockchain is some magical cloak that shields you from regulation in the USA? Poker is still illegal in most of the country and it doesn't matter if you're using real money called "crypto" using a magical blockchain. This is not my opinion. Opinion is as worthless as spidey-sense. We hire and pay for legal advice from attorneys that specialize in compliance. We are not here to operate for a few months within the grey area until the Feds decide to shut us down. We're not out to offer services to the black market gaming customers. We will have many different verticals that we will offer on a legal-to-play basis depending on your jurisdiction. No matter where you live, you'll probably be able to play something. US customers already have the option of Breakoutpvp.com where you can wager on and play eSports matches.
