Virtue Poker (VPP) Detalles e información financiera de su ICO

What is Virtue Poker

Conceived in 2016, Virtue Poker is a ConsenSys incubated, and Pantera backed company that uses the unique features of blockchain technology in conjunction with P2P networking to provide a safe, honest environment to play online poker. Player funds are never held by Virtue Poker; instead game buy-ins are held in escrow by Ethereum "smart contracts"​ while they play, and payouts occur in 30 seconds or less. Virtue's Poker’s distributed peer-to-peer shuffling algorithm provides game security, since the deck never resides on a centralized server and is the first and only blockchain based poker platform licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority

Why Virtue Poker

Multi-Token Wagering: Easily deploy new ERC-20 tokens for wagering on the platform allowing Virtue Poker to tap into existing cryptocurrency communities for acquisition
