Virtue Gaming launches a game earning cryptocurrency model, bringing online poker to American players

On Friday, Virtue Gaming, Decentralized online poker platform Built on Ethereum (Ethereum) Blockchain, launched the first digital poker casino in the United States to make money from playing games.

In the United States, only six states (Nevada, Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Michigan) legalize and regulate online poker. The country is slow to act on this issue due to fears that international poker platforms will take away income from domestic land-based gambling establishments. In addition, even in the states listed, poker platforms must obtain permission from each jurisdiction to operate.

As a result, U.S. residents usually cannot access popular online poker platforms, such as PokerStars or 888 Poker, as players in other parts of the world can use these platforms. In order to solve this problem, Virtue Gaming proposed a game earning setting. The platform provides users with 500 virtual player points or VPP, valued at approximately US$147.37.

Players will get these for free after registration. Players who meet the minimum game time requirements through cash games and tournaments can redeem their Tether VPP (USDT). Then American players will be able to compete with players in other parts of the world, who transfer VPP, Ether (Ethereum) Or other cryptocurrencies enter Virtue Gaming’s locked side chain smart contract to participate in the game. To prevent cheating, the platform implemented a peer-to-peer encrypted shuffle of all decks.
