PokerClubHub on the record
What they shipped
- From its YC profile: TL;DR: PokerClubHub is the first licensed poker club platform. We protect players’ deposits and allow anyone to open their own poker club and make money. Regulated online poker sites like PokerStars have open player pools and thus are full of pros and bots, driving players to unregulated private clubs. Existing poker club platforms like ClubGG have no payments processing. Players deposit with a club owner by sending them crypto for play-money chips. In theory, these chips can be exchanged back for money. However, players can get scammed and withdrawing takes ages. (source)
- Its own site describes it as: "Play with friends or in soft private poker clubs with your deposits safe on our licensed platform. Host your own club on PokerClubHub and keep the rake." (source)
- From the Launch YC post "PokerClubHub - The First Licensed Online Poker Club Platform": PokerClubHub is the first licensed poker club platform.
