Tags: E Sport, Ama, Tokenhunter, Defi, Inpoker

At 11: 00 am (UTC) on Nov 19th, Maria, co-founder of InPoker was invited to be the guest of AMA in TokenHunter Official Telegram Group. During the AMA, Maria introduced InPoker and its unique advantages in detail. Maria shared the utility of InPoker. Not only that, but she also answered many questions from users.

InPoker is a fresh new approach to online poker that engages social media influencers and offers the first e-sports platform with an integrated DeFi protocol that allows players to participate in poker tournaments by supplying crypto assets and a unique NFT membership that provides free entries and exclusive benefits.

Maria’s sharing knowledge points are full, and here we will sort out the essence of AMA for everyone to review.

Q1. What is InPoker and how is it different from many other online poker websites?

Maria: InPoker is the first e-sport platform with an integrated DeFi protocol that allows players to participate in poker tournaments by supplying crypto assets.

InPoker has a few big differences from other online poker platforms

One of the main problems many poker players have is managing their bankroll. InPoker minimizes players’ risks of losing money/crypto and solves the main problem with two beautiful features: 1. DeFi Collateral Protocol, where user can supply major cryptocurrency, receive APY on it and the same time borrow up to 60% in in-game token — BUSD, use it to play tournaments and even if the player loses tournaments and the crypto currency 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

2. the second feature is using our InPoker NFT Elite Membership card — users purchase it once and can participate in Daily freerolls with good prize pools for as long as they want. And the most beautiful part here — if a user understands that poker is not his passion anymore, they can sell it anytime on our marketplace

InPoker is Influencer Poker 2.0 — we combine poker — the loved game around the world with modern technologies

Q2. What are the major milestones the InPoker platform has achieved so far, and what can we expect in the future?

Maria: We are currently on the verge of launching our IDO, so this is probably the major milestone to look forward to

To this day, we consider the development and launch of each InPoker module as the milestones, for example, the online gaming platform was the first to be set up. Since then we added the InPoker Marketplace, NFT cards, cashier and a few other modules

Of course, of the biggest milestones was reaching 10,000 registered users a few months ago. Our current goal is to market the platform and reach out to a wider audience.

Q3. What does the future of InPoker look like? Can you talk to us about your roadmap?

Maria: Right after the IDO we are planning to focus on developing Influencer Dashboard v1.0 to allow users creating their own tournaments, set and earn rewards from buy-in & rebuys, set referral rewards. The facility is planned for Q1 2022.

Following this milestone, the team will focus on enhancing and improving all the current modules to provide even greater experience. There will be many marketing campaings and tournaments along the way, with InPoker attracting more brands and businesses to sponsor some tournaments and attract more people

One of the next biggest plans in the list is development of Blockchain card shuffling mode, Poker room will allow for players to actually own their cards, using blockchain technology (we are currently using world-class random number generator certified by iTechLabs Australia for card shuffling)

Q4. I read about Elite NFT, but what exactly do I get if I buy it?

Maria: The main benefit of having InPoker Elite NFT Membership card is, of course, participation in daily special tournaments and events. We’ve hosted the series of satellites to the main tournament where the prize was the ticket to the main event of WSOP in Las Vegas just at the beginning of this month, which is equivalent to 10k BUSD. Now the special Christmas leaderboard Event starts where top players will share 10K BUSD prize pool between them, we are also planning to organize offline events where Elite Club members will have many pleasant benefits, and of course as I said before, you can generate new NFT cards, have free entries to more freerolls or just sell them to the market

Q5. In your white paper you talk about sponsored games. When is that coming and can any business be a sponsor?

Maria: We are working on this feature to make it available ASAP!!!

Yes, any business can promote their brand by creating their tournaments, setting up their own logo on the table, streaming their video as an intro before the tournament and during the tournament break, setting up their own currency or even NFTs as a prize. I’m pretty sure it will be very interesting for many blockchain and NFT projects in the beginning but also it can be any other business

Q6. What is the utility of InPoker ?

Maria: InPoker allows users to earn APY on the supplied collateral, users can also win rewards by participating in tournaments and events. InPoker also allows Elite NFT cardholders to generate new NFT cards, which can be resold on the InPoker Marketplace

Q7. To conclude today’s conversation, can you tell us the current state of the project?

Maria: Our current state:

Fully functional game platform

Soft launch on 31.07.2021

More than 16k registered members

500 daily active users

Fully built DeFi protocol with collateral and liquidation features

Audited by Certik and TechRate

NFT membership card marketplace launched on 27 October 2021.

IDO on 25.11.2021 on BinStarter, Trustpad and NFTpad

The questions from community question part.

Q1. InPoker platform allows event organizers to create their own poker rooms and have full control of the settings. but how to become a room owners? what is the requirements?

Maria: We are currently working on this feature and will post all guides and tutorials in our articles and channels

What can I tell you now is that anyone will be able to set up their own poker room not only without additional charges but also receive your own interest according to amount of players buy-ins

Q2. What are the games can i see in your platform? I heard we can earn rewards for playing games in HTML5 desktop version. So my question is do you games support any other versions? Any plans to extend the version? And we see most of the people use mobile,so any mobile Version plans?

Maria: On InPoker Platform, you can see Texas Holdem and Omaha Freerolls, regular tournaments, and Sit&Gos. And for sure all games with our NFT Elite cards benefits look better, but we discussed it before

You don’t need to have any funds to start playing, all you need is to register, play freerols and after winning some INP participate in the regular tournaments and Sit&Gos. Our mobile versions are ready and will be on the market in Q1 2022, but even with our desktop version, you can have a very good gaming experience by opening it with any browser on any device

Q3. I saw your website Testnet Cashier What you will take in 2021, the year is about to end but we have not seen anywhere, how long will we be able to see it and what will be the reward for competing in it ?

Maria: Our Testnet is ready and you will be able to try it very soon. Talking about our mainnet- it will be deployed a few weeks after our IDO, which is going to happen on the 25th of November.

Q4. I read that one of the features of InPoker is to borrow BUSD stablecoin as token in the game. Will you introduce your native tokens after that?

Maria: We already introduced our rewards utility native token — INP. About its use, we were talking a few minutes ago, And yes, we are going to use BUSD stable coin as our in-game token, because it will give a more stable and understandable game experience for our users.

Q5. Where did the INPOKER project get its unique and creative inspiration? In the future, what methods will it use to build and gain trust and cooperation in the community? Finally, what is the strategy for attracting users outside the encrypted space?

Maria: The idea for the project was born around a year ago. There are many poker platforms using cryptocurrency nowadays, but the development and popularization of the DeFi technology and NFT Membership card gave the idea of adding an additional layer that allows players to participate in the games with less risk of losing all the funds.

There is also a problem that many poker platforms require substantial funds in order to play and it is very risky for the new players. That was one of the main problems InPoker is trying to solve and was one of the foundations for the project

And without any doubt, we are going to do our best to reach non-crypto poker lovers and use our forces and knowledge to educate them on how to use crypto in a modern, constantly updating, and growing world

We are planning to organize InPoker Offline Festivals, and we are already in discussion with a few very good and promising poker pros, so as soon we will be able to announce their names we will do it with great pleasure!

Q6. Smart contracts are susceptible to failure and many projects fall victim to this, costing users money and the project discrediting. How reliable and secure is your smart contract? Have you tested it through any of the parties?

Maria: We have been audited by TechRate and CertiK — results can be found on inpoker.io

Our platform is very secure and we are currently looking for additional security contractors to further protect the platform from various attacks and security breaches.

Q7. How do you plan to bring the INP as the first Poker esport, to other countries? while Poker is essentially a game of gambling — something many countries disagree with and have many restrictions on.

Maria: Influencer Poker was not designed with gambling in mind. Instead it focuses on sportsmanship by only offering poker tournaments, sit & go and similar competitive games. Other types of casino games such as poker cash tables, betting, slots, dice, etc are not part of this platform. With this strategy and specialy with NFT Membership cards InPoker is legal

Q8. Why you choose Binance Smart chain? we see some chain pop up with good scalability too, then why Inpoker choose BSC?

Maria: Yes, there are really great blockchains around now. They are growing and become better and better everyr day. Our project started almost one year ago, that time BSC looks like the best option for us and still we think BSC is great for our project

Q9. Is your project only for English speaking countries or is there a community for other language users?

Maria: we use English language as it is statistically the most common and widespread within the poker and crypto community and people speak it, at least on some level. InPoker game itself is available in English, Italian, Chinese, Japanese and a few other languages. We are building specific communities like indonesian, vietnamese, russian, turkish, spanish and looking forward for building many more, and focus to reach out to all poker and crypto lovers around the world.

Q10. How can I join the pre-sale or IDO? What is extimated date Where can I buy your Tokens $InPoker?

Maria: InPoker IDO will be launching on 3 platforms simultaneously: BinStarter, TrustPad and NFTPad. You can always check our official group https://t.me/inpokergroup for more information, or visit launchpad’s pages for guidance and specific details
