The funds from this investment round will be used for Virtue Poker’s mainnet launch in May of this year. The company will be hosting an exhibition with prominent figures in the poker circuit like Phil Ivey, Joe Lubin, and others during the official launch.

Virtue Poker is now the only licensed blockchain-based poker platform in the world. Ryan Gittleson, CEO of Virtue Poker stated, “Blockchain technology provides a modern and secure payment infrastructure that provides accessibility to consumers globally. By working with regulators to become a licensed company, Virtue Poker now has legitimacy to crossover and compete for customers from legacy providers to bring blockchain-based wagering mainstream.”

Through blockchains, Virtue Poker aims to move towards a future where there is a high level of trust and transparency in the online poker industry. This would greatly reduce security concerns and slowly do away with tampered algorithms and expensive third-party processors. Backed by Consensys and Phil Ivey, Virtue Poker is on a mission to bring blockchain-based betting to mainstream poker.
