Poker is appealing to many people for a number of reasons. It is a great source of entertainment that has that rare combination of luck and skill. If you are able to understand the game, statistics, odds, human psychology then you gain an advantage, but at the same time, the luck of the draw can throw all of that out the window! It is this intriguing mix that keeps people playing and on the edge of their seats.

There was a huge boom Poker boom between 2003 and 2006, mostly in No-Limit Texas Holdem. The online poker player pool doubled in size every year. This did fade, but the impact was long-lasting; Poker made it to the mainstream, was on TV, and tournaments such as the WSOP were household names as were poker professionals.

Online poker makes sense. It is easy and accessible, players do not need to travel. It is also easier to manage for a player, you can track statistics and review your hands. You can play multi tables, and there is greater player traffic. There are a host of bonuses you can take advantage of and a much wider range of games and limits that you can choose from. Online and Poker are two words and concepts that fit perfectly together.

If we fast forward to the beginning of the pandemic, there was another huge uptick in online poker. The Sudden upsurge in time spent by people online due to the pandemic brought a great resurgence in the gaming world of online Poker. People can now no longer play at land-based casinos or card clubs. This led to a 30% increase in online traffic in 2020 alone and the online poker market has grown 43% since the start of this pandemic. First-time Poker players have increased by nearly 255% in the lockdown period — this trend has continued! People are indoors more, online more, on their phones more. People are looking for excitement, escapism from the current situation or to have fun with their friends in a way that is safe.

With the massive surge of players (demand), there will always be an increase in Poker platforms (supply). There are huge profits to be made and there are a rapid number of poker businesses trying to get a share of this. One new area which is growing in this industry and in the world, in general, is the acceptance and use of cryptocurrencies. This is also growing rapidly. There are sites and platforms that accept crypto or run off the blockchain, but there are not any that are dominant…until now! InPoker is Online Poker 2.0!

InPoker is a brilliant and fresh new approach to online poker. It positions itself perfectly between the booming market of Poker and Crypto. They have an incredible and unique concept which utilizes influencers to help organically and rapidly grow their platform. They are the first e-sports platform with an integrated DeFi protocol that allows players to participate in poker tournaments by supplying crypto assets and unique NFT memberships that provide free entries and exclusive benefits.

InPoker is what the online poker world needed; it is the evolution of a popular and growing industry. As you can see from the stats above, this project has already gained massive traction and it is still in its early days! OIG is extremely excited and confident about what InPoker will achieve. There are a huge number of reasons why this project is set to boom, and today we will share a few of them!

InPoker’s Elite NFT Cards

One of the best features on their platform is the InPoker NFT Elite Membership card. The booming NFT industry has been cleverly integrated into the poker world! It has genuine and exciting use cases. Here are a few of them:

♥️ Free weekly InPoker tournament entries. Participate in the games without depositing any assets or money and stand a chance to win real prizes.

♣️ Free tickets for international live events. Win tickets to the biggest poker tournaments around the world. Prizes can be resold to other users

♦️ Privileges for InPoker partners. InPoker is designed to support and promote other projects and you can receive their support in return.

♠️ Ability to sell the card “Your InPoker Elite NFT Card” is 100% tradable within the Binance Smart Chain.

♦️ Satellite for WSOP main event. Available exclusively for InPoker Elite members. Prizes can be resold to other users.

♠️ InPoker product privileges. Extended access to various promotions, activities, merchandise and special events.

InPoker allows every cardholder to generate more NFT cards by staking the existing ones and providing liquidity for 1 month.

After a month of staking, users will receive the LP refunds together with the old card (with one deducted mint count) and a brand new generation card with 5 mint counts.

Each card is tradable on the marketplace and is limited to 5 mint transactions, with each consecutive minting requiring a bigger LP staking amount.

All InPoker Elite NFT cards are differentiated by generations. The initial batch of 1,000 “Black Label” cards is purchasable directly from InPoker and provides the ultimate access to all the tournaments. The subsequent cards generated by the players will be limited to 2,000 per generation, with each generation providing different benefits and access only to specific games. Users can choose the card that benefits them the most or collect a few cards from different generations to enjoy more benefits.

This unique and original concept of using NFTs in this way has been brilliantly incorporated into InPoker and genuinely adds to the experience. This is a sure-fire hit and is a stand out feature of this brilliant project.

InPoker Expansion Methods

As stated earlier, there are a lot of new Poker platforms trying to capture as many of these new users as possible. InPoker has created multiple creative ways which will draw in large numbers of people in an effective and efficient way.

They have incentivised influencers to do the marketing for them! Social media influencers can earn various benefits by referring users to InPoker tournaments and receive a commission from each buy-in or percentage of the tournament prize the referred user wins. Event organizers will have the authority to determine the minimum buy-in amount, the prizes and the percentage that influencers will receive for referring users.

The platform provides a unique way to run promotions to target audiences via sponsorship programs. They have created a method whereby businesses from all fields will want to get involved and thus will draw in a wide range of people. Businesses can choose to promote their products or services via tournaments by creating sponsored games with free or small buy-in entries where users stand a chance to win big prizes in platform currency or, in the case of blockchain companies, their own coins, tokens or NFTs.

The InPoker platform allows event organizers to create their own poker rooms and have full control of the settings. Room owners are able to set their own commission that social media influencers receive from the tournament, set unique referral codes for each event and compete on the leaderboard. This will all lead to people pushing and promoting new players to InPoker as it is within their interest

With these mechanics in place, this incredible project is set for huge growth!

InPoker’s Incredible DeFi Aspect

InPoker is the first e-sport platform with an integrated DeFi protocol incorporating the best aspects of Compound, Maker Dao and Venus, allowing players to participate in poker tournaments by supplying crypto assets.

Their DeFi Collateral Protocol is the feature where users can supply major cryptocurrency, receive APY on it, and at the same time borrow up to 60% in in-game tokens — BUSD, use it to play tournaments, and even if the player loses tournaments and the cryptocurrency goes up in value, to get back, (let’s say their Bitcoin) they have to pay back the same amount of BUSD that was borrowed!

This concept of APY interest being earned on the crypto used as collateral is brilliant and unique. This will draw in a lot of users from a rapidly expanding world of crypto holders and enthusiasts.

Closing Thoughts on InPoker

People are naturally drawn to poker and with the increase of time spent online time and use of mobile devices, the trend for Online Poker is set to continue. Alongside this, crypto is becoming mainstream and people are becoming more familiar and actually expecting the use of crypto.

InPoker has created a phenomenal product that has all the ingredients to capture a massive slice of this market. They have a range of unique features that have been designed to engage users and create a self supplying stream of fresh new players.

We are excited to see InPoker’s journey. We are sure they are going to become the gold standard for online poker and we are extremely proud to partner with them and support them every step of the way! To learn more about InPoker, connect with them on their socials!
