What is Virtue Poker?
Conceived in 2016, Virtue Poker is a ConsenSys incubated, and Pantera backed company that is an open web-based poker platform that allows anyone in the world to create their own poker token-gated poker game, tournament or club in 60 seconds or less and invite their friends or community members to join by simply sharing a web link.
Key Features:
-
Accessible on all devices, no download required: Web application (mobile compatible), responsive web-design
-
Simple Sign-up: Players can sign-up using email/password or by connecting a wallet
-
Cross-chain Compatible: Virtue Poker is chain agnostic and currently works on:
- L1: Ethereum, BSC Chain, Solana - L2: Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism -
Email Gating: A company with a newsletter or email list can create an email-gated event by uploading a .csv of their audience
-
Add multiple wallet addresses: A wallet can be associated with an account by signing a single message (no need to sign each time a * user needs to verify they own an NFT or token)
-
Token-gated Clubs/Tournaments, multi-address, and multi-chain compatible: Our platform allows you to create token-gated clubs and tournaments via a web app. And works for any token or NFT.
-
Poker clubs are built similarly to the way popular club apps are built such as Poker Bros or ClubGG, yet have the convenience and seamless UX of popular “poker with friends app” - Poker Now
-
Own Your Club or Tournament Webpage: Hosts can customize their tournament page/club page, and share their link with their friends/communities. New members can register and directly join.
-
Use Your NFT as your Avatar: our application reads all connected wallets and allows users to represent their community using any NFT as their avatar
-
Form Unions Between Communities: both our tournament and club software allows for multiple contract addresses to be used (you can create a crossover event with multiple NFT communities) or create unions of clubs from multiple communities. Or if your community has more than 1 NFT, a club can specify multiple contract addresses to join, and then select a single contract address to token-gate a VIP event.
-
Build Your Own Poker Lobby: Clubs can build their own private poker lobby of cash tables and tournaments or publish them to a shared public lobby
Token Utility
The VPP token is an integral part of the Virtue Poker club on our platform. VPP can be:
- Held or staked to access free poker tournaments
- Burned to enter poker tournaments
- Used to buy Poker Dog NFTs that provide unlimited access to Virtue Poker club and other partner clubs
