TON Poker is a decentralized online poker platform built on the TON blockchain and accessed through a Telegram bot.
Overview#
TON Poker launched in late 2022. It supports popular variants such as Texas Hold'em and Omaha, and offers both cash games and tournaments for players of varying bankroll sizes.
Stake Levels#
| Level | Blinds | Buy‑in |
|---|---|---|
| Low | $0.02 / $0.05 | $2.50 / $7.50 |
| Mid | $0.25 / $0.50 | $25 / $75 |
| High | $1 / $10 | $500 / $1,500 |
High‑stake tables can reach “hundreds to thousands of dollars” in blinds and buy‑ins.
Advantages#
Decentralization
The platform runs on a distributed network of nodes, eliminating a central operator and reducing the risk of censorship.
Fairness and Transparency
Smart contracts enforce game rules and record every hand on a public ledger. Provably‑fair algorithms generate random card sequences, preventing manipulation.
Privacy and Anonymity
Players may use anonymous accounts, keeping personal identities hidden while remaining responsible for complying with local regulations.
Spin the Wheel#
A “spin the wheel” feature rewards players who hold tickets. The wheel contains segments with prizes ranging from $0.05–$0.5, $1, $2, $5, $10, $100, and TON cryptocurrency.
Ticket Acquisition#
Players can obtain additional tickets by:
- Purchasing them via the GET MORE button.
- Inviting friends through a referral system.
- Earning rake: 1 rake → 1 ticket; 49 rakes → bonus; 100 rakes → bonus.
