Launched in late 2020, X-Poker is a club-based poker app developed by Funnygames, a Malaysian outfit sitting under the giant Dutch media group Talpa Network. It plays in the same sandbox as PPPoker and PokerBros: a free play-money platform where private clubs, agents, and unions run the actual show. If you have ever joined a club app before, you already know the drill here. If you have not, think of it as a home game that lives in your pocket and never sleeps.
Key Features
Clubs and Unions: Anyone can open a club, and clubs can merge into unions to share player pools. Most of the developed unions are Asian, which is fantastic news for your win rate. The tables are packed with recreational players and gamblers, not solver-fed regs.
Full Game Menu: NLH, PLO4, PLO5, 6+ Short Deck, MTTs, and OFC, including the version with jokers, because the Asian poker community likes its chaos with extra chaos. Cash games run from micro stakes up to NL1k and PLO2k when the big games fire.
Slick Multitabling: A quick-switch button at the top of the table lets you hop between up to three games instantly, and a strip shows live action from your other tables. For a portrait-mode mobile app, it is genuinely well done.
Built-in Stats and HUD: Basic stats come free, VIP cards from the in-app shop unlock deeper opponent data. Third-party trackers and HUDs are allowed via hand converters if you play through an Android emulator. Real-time assistance and solvers are banned.
Anti-Scumbag Tools: Hosts can set VPIP restrictions to keep nits out, enable anti-rathole rules so short-stackers cannot hit and run, and jackpot tables for extra spice.
Rake and Money
Rake is set by each game host, usually 5% capped at 3 big blinds, which is standard for club apps. There is no cashier in the app. All deposits and withdrawals run peer-to-peer through agents, almost always in crypto like Bitcoin or USDT. The RNG has been certified by Gaming Labs, issued to the Hong Kong-based Pony Technology, so the cards themselves are legit.
But Heads Up…
The software is clean and the games are soft, but X-Poker only provides the platform. Your chips live and die with your agent. There is no license, no central cashier, and no support ticket that will save you if a shady club vanishes overnight. Play only through people with a real reputation, and do not leave your whole bankroll sitting in the app between sessions.
