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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
- I also noticed that there are really only a few poker games in the field of crypto, only a few of them actually exist. I've been hearing about poker for a long time but I don't know how to play it, but I have a cousin who competes nationwide here in my country and he has a manager who handles him.
But even so, I still didn't have an interest in something that I probably just didn't like to play. But when you say that there is rake that returns to the player, isn't it if there is a large amount of rake that comes back, it means that the amount used to play cryptop gambling is also a large amount.
