So one of the features that Poker VR introduced was a very diverse avatar system. There are around 400 million unique customizations options.” In typical free-to-play fashion, these cosmetics are purchased with in-game gold that can be purchased for real-life currency. Real-life social connections matter for Poker VR as well. These people at lower stakes should be playing 5 card draw. I got called aggro and a bully because I wouldn't let 5 people limp in and blow up my pocket pair. So like the title states, looking for a real poker game. I'm building my bankroll in hopes that higher stakes tourneys will have real players. Multi-accounting means that a player has several real money accounts at a single poker room. Online Poker rooms forbid players to open more than one real money account per person at their poker site. The main reason for this ban are their poker first deposit bonus offerings. By forbidding multi-accounting, they prevent bonus fraud.

The VR Poker world needs new terminology. If you can help, you could win yourself an Oculus Rift headset.

The new PokerStars Virtual Reality (VR) game goes live today. But in launching it we have unexpectedly opened-up some moral, practical, and philosophical questions.

Does Poker Vr Use Real Money Transfer

Like this for instance.

If, while wearing a VR headset and immersed in a hand, you are suddenly rugby tackled by envious but well-meaning friends, what would this outside interference be called?

Or take this one.

The imagery in the new VR game appears to have more vivid colours and arguably better graphics than real-life. Should live poker now be renamed 'low-res poker,' or something else?

And then there's this one.

You suffer a bad beat. You then find yourself watching your opponent perform an ungracious victory dance in front of you (all possible in the PokerStars VR world). What crime are you committing (given you are beyond police jurisdiction) if you leap up to grab your opponent by the throat?

Even after months of extensive testing, our innovation team missed these questions.

So, the only way to satisfy ourselves that we have the answers is to hand over the investigation to you.

PokerStars VR is launched today. Read on to find out how you can win your own VR headset

Like the great expeditions in history, we're calling on players like you to fill in the gaps in our VR poker knowledge.

Because just as online poker brought with it a whole new vocabulary - words like mis-click, bum-hunting, gg and nh - VR poker is likely to do the same.

And whatever those words are, we want you to be the first to provide them, by delving into this world and reporting back.

Does Poker Vr Use Real Money

There are risks attached. For one thing, you might not come back.

The world you'll find when you put on a headset, whether it's Macau in 2050, a traditional old western saloon, or a yacht moored off Monte Carlo, will likely offer a more hospitable environment than any IRL winter.

The imagery and the playability are so good that the only reason to unplug from VR Poker is to reboot your internet connection, and maybe eat something. Or to call in sick*.

And given that in this VR world you can handle chips, cards, interact with opponents, spot tells, and own a pet donkey, it satisfies most if not all the needs of a typical poker player.

(Except bringing your winnings back to the real world. All PokerStars VR games are play money only.)

But if you do manage to unplug and make it back to the real world, you'll have stories to amaze the rest of us mortals for years.

Or at least until we buy our own headsets and join you there.

But if you don't want to wait that long, you can enter our VR Poker contest and win a headset of your own.

An Oculus Rift headset with touch controllers (RRP £400)**.

To win it we want answers to fill the gaps in this new virtual poker world.

We want to know:

Which new words should be added to the VR poker lexicon?

It can be for any aspect of the game. The moments we've talked about here, or any others you might experience, real or imagined.
Just give it a name.

The best suggestion will win the new Oculus Rift headset.

Be creative, original, and irreverent. Then simply send your suggested word to us (with its definition) on Twitter (@PokerStarsBlog), along with your [Stars ID], being sure to use the #VRPOKER hashtag (so we can find it).

You can enter as many times as you like, but the closing date is: Sunday 11 November at 23:59 ET.

As always there are Terms & Conditions. So, familiarise yourself with those first. Then get thinking.

We'll announce the winner (along with some of the other suggestions) in a PokerStars Blog next week. By then one poker player will be on their way into this new VR world. They may even get to try out their new word.

We're looking forward to reading your suggestions.

* We don't recommend this. Although come to think of it, this will also need a word of its own.
** It's worth noting you'll need a PC to play.

Free-to-play gaming is, for better or worse, big business.

The idea is to get you in for free and then entice you with in-game power-ups, cosmetics, and upgrades that you can purchase with in-game currency. You can earn these digital dollars or, of course, you can always buy some with real world cash.

Free-to-play business models exist in games on all platforms including mobile, console, PC and now virtual reality as well. Poker VR for the Oculus-Powered Samsung Gear VR is a free to play VR title. It’s also the highest grossing game in that category on any Oculus device according to the company.

In an interview with VRScout, Hamza Siddiqui, founder and CEO of P Mega Particle, Inc. explained that his title, Poker VR is the “highest grossing” free-to-play experience on the entire Oculus store.

According to Siddiqui:

What Data Does Vr Use

[At one point] We were the most famous social app on Gear VR out of over 1,000 apps. And also the game…it went on to become the highest grossing free-to-play app on the whole Oculus store.”

Siddiqui says he can’t share exact earnings with us, but did share that Poker VR makes, on average around 50 cents per user. This number refers to the ARPDAU – the average revenue per daily active user. This is a common metric used by mobile game developers to track the success of their games.

How Does Vr Work

This figure, like most other free-to-play revenue breakdowns, is weighted heavily by power users that spend far more than typical players. In the industry, they’re also referred to as whales.

In addition to better-than-average spending habits, customers are also spending significant time in Poker VR.

Siddiqui explained that the average daily playtime time of a Poker VR user is currently 62 minutes, crediting the success of Poker VR with his team’s commitment to developing interesting and unique social features.

These social background features are what keep players engaged, entertained and spending according to Siddiqui.

How To Play Poker Vr

“For example, one of the things that we were seeing in our community is that people really care about cosmetic upgrades,” Siddiqui said. “If they’re present in this universe for so long they care about how they look. They care about their social status, they care about their friends. So one of the features that Poker VR introduced was a very diverse avatar system. There are around 400 million unique customizations options.”

In typical free-to-play fashion, these cosmetics are purchased with in-game gold that can be purchased for real-life currency.

Real-life social connections matter for Poker VR as well. According to Siddiqui “there’s a definite correlation between the more friends you have the more engaged you are with the game.”

Poker VR is available now to download for free on the Oculus Store. It requires a Gear VR headset and a compatible smartphone.
