Topic: Poker coming to stake.com in the near future ! - page 3. (Read 1473 times)

Poker is a global game and integrating it into Stake will boost their traffic level because poker is an internationally known game and among the most referenced casino games,  I don't know what the main reason for the special attention to poker games

But then also we have to encourage more poker tournaments we have some food managers and organizers here also, so this will help a lot and I believe this could be in the pipeline for the long term.

If you never played it before just one advise, don't try to play it instantly when they offer it, you will most likely lose all your money against people that actually know what they are doing.
Poker is a very complex game where of course luck has an influence but a long time player will always prevail over a newbie or maniac person .

It's a fun game, if you know what you're doing .

You can learn/play for free at many sites by the way, with play money. But don't expect the real games being as soft as play money ones. People that play with play money act super lose and aggressive since they don't have anything to lose.

So there isnt any ETA on this yet huh. I kinda wonder if they are going to launch it this year


I was actually comparing it to the largest poker network currently which is ggpoker. Aside from that, stars and wsop is probably pretty popular in US as well so starting your own network is actually not a good decision. Well of course its Stake we are talking about, they could spend millions for months on developing their own poker and it would never harm them at all so yeah


give us your opinion on this in case you will try them in the future. Im not sure how strict Stake is with their VPN policy, pretty tempted to use VPN to access stake.us once they launch it there

Good update i must say, i personally have never played poker before, and neither do i know how to play it, but i do have friends who are really into the game, and in the area where i live, one will have to travel several miles to find a physical casino where they can play poker, since the online casinos that offer the game is very limited.

The news of the game coming to stake is a good one sincerely, and since they have chosen to test it on the us version of the site for now, all i can hope is that all goes well as they expect, so that they can also get the game listed on the main stake .com site, i possibly may learn to play through my friends if they get the game integrated on the main site.

Poker will be something that helps the business grow, but I don't blame them for testing the waters on 1 site before spending the money to integrate it on both sites. I hope it is popular and it gets launched on both sites so that noone is left out. Poker is popular worldwide.

Dry compared to slots maybe, but it has like a 100 million online poker players. Lots of them, like i have to play it somewhere else as stake doesn't yet provide it, but i would move to stake for poker in a heartbeat. And sites i trust and use make me download a software to play it with. Which is ok as an app with a phone but not for my pc laptop. If stake would offer browser based tournaments, i thing lots of players would move into it.

After a long silence about poker on stake we just got a little update on stream.

Some person asked in chat what's happening and Eddie said poker will first come to stake.us "very soon" as yet another "social experience", funny how they are still trying to frame it as a "social casino" .

If the test run on the us site turns successful they will also offer it at .com, so that are interesting news for people who want to use their poker skills on stake in the future.
If the software will actually worth be anything is a different story.

Well GG is really the biggest network but creating your own would have some merit I think. You can keep all your profits and just pay for the development.
Also, if you want to join a network this would make KYC mandatory, which would also be a big change for stake. Joining a network would open stake up for money laundering ( deposit at stake -> lose the money to for example a gg poker account -> withdraw ). So I think they would prefer to keep the action "in house" .

Are there really that strict location rules? I know in Germany because of their stupid gambling tax it is hard to play poker unless the network makes specific rules for German players. Other than that I didn't hear anything about it.

Well first of all, the poker market is pretty dry and there isnt that many money to be made unless they integrated themselves with the GGpoker network which is currently the biggest poker network around. On top of that, poker has really strict policy on wether you are allowed to play in the respective country or not and in this case a crypto casino, isnt that really strict on that

It would be exciting if Stake would add poker games to their site and if you are a guy who is good at poker, you can play poker there and win some money. But it won't be easy because many poker game experts will also play poker at Stake.

You have to really bring out all your abilities in playing poker to win from them. I hope you win lots of money and have your name on the leaderboard in Stakes.

Yes it is definitely good for the house. Because it gets players in the door who may gamble on other things. But be patient, if they are going to do it, you want it done right. They need to have specialists who can analyze hands for cheating and ban cheaters. And protections against that. Also the software if they develop it themselves, which they should. Because you can't trust outside parties for this type of thing.

I'm a poker guy and a bitcoin guy so if they get poker I will probably be on there. And again, they should have a marketing department that gets SANTOSHI. HIS NAME IS BASICALLY SATOSHI. And drake. 50-100 PLO games would be awesome on there. Stream it online and make tons, stake. We are rooting for you

Yeah, I don't understand why stake is taking so long. Poker is the one they they are missing, basically what the whole crypto gambling thing is missing. There is so much money to be made without any risk, just make the platform and collect rake. With such a huge player base it's such a waste to not implement it faster!

Why even bother talking about it when nothing else follows after that. Maybe it's the same problem like with the sports book. They don't really care. All they care is getting more people to play casino, everything else doesn't matter aparently.

Let's imagine they play... $500/$1000 table! Who will play with them? Even if we imagine some lower min/max blind table it will be the same, many of us can just imagine playing on these tables.


Crypto needs a good poker place... with mixed games and many poker variants, and most of all active players. I guess Stake can attract players, but still except for some rumors, we don't have much. So I doubt that we will see poker at Stake anytime soon.

Many a times, business doesn't have to be all about competing with the other business, forget about what happens there and just do your thing, it is commonly said that the sky is wide enough for every bird to fly without colliding on each other, so also it is for business running on this earth, yeah, it is a fact that some times, we need competition as it encourages us to more to be better than the other, it encourages growth, but it is also very important to always keep every competition at a very healthy level, we invite problems into our business when we try to compete with another business in an unhealthy manner, when you see a business you know have gone too far and you possibly can not compete with them, then, start your own and just focus on growing, the fact that you can not compete with that other business should not be a reason why you can not start your own.

When it comes to Stake doing what ever GGnetwork is doing, Stake got the money, they have the connections, they have the userbase, and lastly and importantly, they have the experience, all the matter is their decision to go ahead or not.

Everyone has different preferences, and mixed games are definitely needed. Personally, I prefer to play mostly NLH, especially multi-table tournaments. Anyway, if the Stake team can create its own private network, it will be great. Although as I mentioned earlier, it will be very hard for them to compete with giants like GGNetwork.

As the game is in demand and have large scale users base who will be ready to jump into the game when it will be added.So there might be assumptions that it will be added to stake although we can't say anything unless the official statement comes from the team.They are renowned in this market so they will look after the needs of gamblers and will implement decision based on it.

Totally. I also hope they make their own private network. That keeps the sharks out, at least in the beginning and probably a lot of money can be made until words makes the round there are plenty of fish to catch playing poker at stake.

Mixed games should be there 100%. I don't remember the last time I played NLH, it's just too boring in my opinion.

5 card omaha, especially the hi/lo variant is the most fun and bad players make the most mistakes. Best games to exploit weak opponents.

I'm only interested if they have their own private network and it has mixed games.

Also they have to make Drake and Santosh play in the games

Indeed, if such a world-class casino promises to make it possible to play poker using cryptocurrencies and in real time, this is a very interesting development. 
I have no doubt that the security experts will provide all the necessary measures to ensure that such a game would be as fair as possible and then naturally it will be interesting.  There will surely be a fairly large number of poker players with extensive experience who will try to play in this casino as well.  Because the casino has a long-standing and very positive image, and such players can be quite confident in the honesty of the game. 
I'm also looking forward to the opportunity to play.  But first of course I'll see how other players play. 
Maybe the level of the game will be such that I shouldn't even come close to the gaming table there. 

Everything in stake.com is something new and promising for everyone, which if I can attest, is that they are not going to let us down, the development or what they are doing, it will be something that many would like, because I am sure that that the vast majority of big poker players will like it, I've always played poker, but like I said before, there's nothing like playing against people in a tournament or something, I haven't done it in a long time. time. , and also before they had many Platforms that offered this service for free, it is strange that there is not now that there are so many active players in the world.

In 2017 when I started playing games, dice, casino, poker, I found a platform where you had to download a software to play poker, and there were online tournaments all the time, it was free and whoever won had a prize on mbtc, I I don't remember how much it was, but it was worth it for that moment, it's a shame I don't follow that software anymore, but I hope they do something similar on stake.com, the truth is they have everything to do, of course there are paid tournaments that will arouse great interest Of people around the world, most play poker with fiat money, but playing with cryptocurrency is something much more exciting.

The good thing about poker tournaments if it is in PVP mode is that the emotions are greater, and the strategies that have been studied and that many look for on the web can be applied with humans, and players from anywhere in the world, the truth is I'm excited to see what they'll come up with, I'm sure they'll blow our minds.

If stake.com does something like this, I'm sure many platforms will start to do something similar, because it's always like that, but I'm sure if they do something like this with poker, they can also do it with games like Black Jack It would be great if they could do it that way, maybe I'm getting ahead of myself a lot, but I think anything is possible.
