Why not making an own pokerroom?

Maybe I should! But there is a lot of work required in order to actually run a pokerroom, in terms of marketing, PR, copy writing, communication and such. This is not really my expertise. You can see, for example, that in the 12 years that I have been a member of this forum, I have made a total of 58 posts including this one. Other members have made thousands of posts, so I think that there are other people who are more passionate about communication than I am. Would prefer to team up with such a person. Do you know anyone?

So you are actually looking for investors and hoping that someone will support you and use your software on their gambling website?

Yep, exactly. I will be able to provide the service of customising, installing the software and keeping it running smoothly on their servers.

Hello hello!

Bumping this this thread because I want to announce my installation guide:

https://tonopahpoker.com/installation/

It explains how to set up the poker game on your WordPress site.

Would love some feedback!

Cheers!

So, today is the day when I let my little creation see the light of day. It is a poker engine, and I have set up a test and demo page for it here:

https://tonopahpoker.com/

The main features:

- It supports deposits and withdrawals in Bitcoin and Lightning Network.
- Both cash games and tournaments are supported.
- It has a WordPress plugin, so administration and content creation for a poker site is easy and straight forward.

I'm a programmer and would love to continue focusing on this...

Since it is created using a WordPress, you should hide or disable the login page to avoid intrusion, it's showing here
https://tonopahpoker.com/wp-login.php, the design is very bland there are thousands of themes there but if you are good in coding you can customize it, anyway good luck with your venture.

I'm really a big poker fan since around 15 years with a lot of experience live and online. I like these projects, but to make a good and safe software is extrem complicated. Even if you have a smooth software, once real money goes over the tables, your biggest problem will be cheat software/bots.

The GihHub link is under download, here: https://tonopahpoker.com/downloads/ And here is the link directly to the GitHub repo: https://github.com/limikael/tonopah

Yeah I see that now but maybe you should also add the link directly on main page.

I'm not in my comfort zone when it comes to writing text for humans... I would rather write 1000 lines of programming code than one sentence of text to explain things...

I totally understand you, and maybe you should hire someone to write everything you need and improve your website.

The way that I have set up and installed things on tonopahpoker.com it only works with Testnet. This is mainly for legal reasons, since I'm developing this software under my own name and I don't have a gambling license. If I would accept real bitcoin there I would effectively be running a gambling site, which is not legal. Testnet coins have no value, so it should be legal.

I understand.

Do you have any open source link on github or similar websites to confirm your claims, and is your Tonopah poker only working with Bitcoin Testnet at the moment?

I think that How to play section needs to be updated with some instructions because currently it only shows bla bla bla… Cheesy

The GihHub link is under download, here: https://tonopahpoker.com/downloads/ And here is the link directly to the GitHub repo: https://github.com/limikael/tonopah

Yeah, a lot needs to be updated!

As you can see, the GitHub page says "Documentation and such should be here... It just needs to be written first...

Tonopahpoker.com is NOT a poker site, it is a page to provide information about the software.
