Social Networking Poker Solution

For years, the overwhelming majority of online poker software providers have developed solutions built around the well known and understood client-server formula.  However, the technology market moves quickly, and so too does the social media market.  The client-server solutions are limited in their social capacity, with live chat the only available function in most cases.  Solutions with a more social aspect to them, such as poker apps on Facebook, Poker 2.0, Pokertube, PokerRoad and Two Plus Two Poker Forum, are now generating huge interest amongst gamers.

Viaden Gaming has stayed on the competitive edge of this market by meeting the steadily increasing demands of the online gambling market for more social options.  The company has released Social Poker; a new variant of Viaden’s popular poker solution that incorporates social aspects, allowing gamblers to stay connected to the communities within which they play.

This new and revolutionary platform for Texas Hold’em poker offers a wide range of social options.  Every player has the opportunity to share their experiences with the rest of the community, leave viewable comments on specific bets and invite friends to their tables.  Rather than totally reinvent the wheel, the software can also harness existing social media networks, as it can be integrated with any existing social media website, such as Facebook, Twitter, or Myspace.

Our new software does not compromise on the quality of the gaming experience in order to achieve this social integration. It is a fully functioning Texas Hold’em platform incorporating all of the benefits of other Viaden solutions, and is not lacking any of the functions that players have come to expect from more traditional downloadable poker clients.  This new solution gathers all of Viaden’s technological innovations into one solution.

The main features of the new product are as follows:

• Fully web based. The new poker client is a non- downloadable web application enabling poker players to gamble directly on a social media website.
• Interactive social network. Every player has an opportunity to add friends, invite new users to register, join friends’ games, and give gifts to other players.
• Multilanguage support. Each player can choose a language that suits them.
• Public and private rooms. Players can join public games as well as create private games for their friends.
• Tournament support. Poker players can participate in public tournaments and create private tournaments for a limited group of friends.
• Personal profile functionality. Every player can create a personal profile viewable by other members of their community. This profile indicates player level, number of chips, number of games played, number of games won, and what network they belong to.
• Opportunity to buy chips online or earn chips.
  Using any payment system a player can buy extra chips online to continue gambling in case all chips were lost. Also extra chips can be won by any system user during promotion actions or other marketing events.
• Gift shop. As mentioned, every player can make a virtual gift to any other system user that will be shown in the user’s profile. Items in the gift shop can be managed from the system back end and displayed in a member screen.

The new poker application by Viaden Gaming is designed to capitalise on the social media boom. We offer a highly interactive poker solution with rich functionality and appealing design.
