Hey everyone!

Today marks the official end of our public chips beta and the launch of the full chip system and chip-based play! Jump in and start building your bankroll: https://pokerpatio.com/lobbies

We want to give a huge thank you to everyone who participated in testing. Your feedback helped us identify and squash many issues pre-release. While we’re still working through a few obscure crashes and edge-case bugs, we’re happy to report the system is already running quite stable.

With the launch, chip packages are now live and available for purchase. Each package includes a first-time buyer bonus, all claimable independently. View here: https://pokerpatio.com/chips

As previously announced, beta balances and stats were reset and the following chip rewards were issued based on total hands played:

• 25+ hands - 10,000 chips
• 50+ hands - 20,000 chips
• 100+ hands - 40,000 chips
• 200+ hands - 60,000 chips
• 500+ hands - 100,000 chips
• 1,000+ hands - 200,000 chips

As part of the live launch, we've added chip awards for Gold members. Gold now includes a 5x daily login bonus (5,000 chips) and 30,000 weekly bonus chips (unclaimed weekly bonuses stack up).

This launch lays the foundation for a ton of features to come, we’re incredibly excited for what’s ahead and will be sharing more details over the next few weeks. Read more about this update: https://pokerpatio.com/blog/official-release-of-chip-system-and-chip-purchases/

Please report any bugs or reset bonus issues here: https://pokerpatio.com/contact/feedback-and-bugs/

Now… let’s get to the chip tables! ♠

Hey everyone!

We hope this message finds everyone well. Just a heads up that we'll be going into maintenance tomorrow Wednesday, Feb 18th, at around 8am GMT (12-1am PST) as we move from the public chips beta, to a full release.

The maintenance is expected to last 2-4 hours - we'll try to minimize the downtime as much as possible.

A final reminder, that everyone who helped us test by playing chip games during the public beta, will be rewarded with additional chips as we fully release. If you haven't played the chip games yet, you still have until tomorrow morning to get some more test games in, and start the full release with some extra chips.

More info here: https://pokerpatio.com/blog/poker-patio-public-chip-beta-launched

We're excited to get this out to you all, a full announcement and blog post will be released tomorrow explaining everything in detail.

Cheers, and we'll see you at the tables tomorrow!

Hey everyone!

Hey everyone!

After months of anticipation, we’re excited to officially announce the launch of the Poker Patio public chip rooms beta! This is one of the most important updates we’ve ever released, as instead of winnings resetting each session, players can now accrue chips and use them between games. If you’ve been waiting for Poker Patio to feel more real, competitive, and rewarding, this update brings us one step closer.

Chip games are designed to feel like a true persistent poker experience, while still keeping everything fun, fair, and accessible. Hop in the action: pokerpatio.com/lobbies?tab=chips

That means:

You can build up a bankroll

Choose tables strategically

Track your progress over time

Play with a more competitive feeling

Get rewarded for consistent play

Tables with less guest betting abuse

IMPORTANT - Beta Reset and Chip Bonuses (Mid-February)

Because this is a public beta, we’re using this period to test stability, collect feedback, and fine-tune gameplay before the full release. Full chip balance and chip stats will reset mid-February. But don’t worry, on full release, every player who participates will earn chip awards based on activity during the beta. The more you play, the more you earn, many thanks for taking time to play and test this update! View prize list

And more!

Along with this update, we’ve introduced a 4% rake in chip rooms to keep inflation in check, added hand and chip logs for detailed tracking, rolled out welcome and daily login chip bonuses, and introduced a full waitlist system.

Please report any bugs or feedback on Discord or here: https://pokerpatio.com/contact/feedback-and-bugs/

Cheers and let’s get back to playing poker :)

Today's update is aimed at helping us lay the foundations of more stable games, with fewer bugs, freezes etc. The update essentially changes they way we connect you to our game servers:

Instead of connecting a player to any game server, that can handle any game (And multiple servers can handle the same game), connecting to a game will now connect all players of that game to the same server.

This will help us get rid of a lot of cross-instance synchronization of data, which can lead to “race conditions”, state overwrites, … as well as causing longer response times on any player actions. While there were some benefits to this approach, it made it way more likely for “edge case conditions” to appear, which could cause many bugs, while at the same time making it way harder to log & debug any issues (as a metaphor, imagine instead of reading a book in one book, you'd have to read it in 10 books, with next line randomly scatter in another book, in a random place).

However as it is a major architectural update behind the scenes, there is possibility of some new bugs or interruptions happening that we were not able to catch during testing. If that is the case, we apologies in advance for any inconvenience caused – and at the same time, we'd ask you to report if you spot any new issues/bugs!

Expected improvements with this update:

• Reduced occurrences of “all sorts of known bugs”, but namely: game freezes, disconnect, weird state mis-sync/overwrites as others join/leave the table
• Potentially even reduced issues with weird game ends/all ins, and “checked when called/raised type of bugs” Faster response times when you take an actions

What this update is unlikely to help with:

• Display bugs, i.e. with raise bar, or “unknown cards”, or “multi card deals visually”, sound glitches etc.

We are running a test period of 24h for this update, and in case we run into any significant issues we will revert it, otherwise it will persist. We will update you on how it impacts stability, once we have at least 24h of data we can go on. If you spot any new issues, please let us know so we may sort them out quickly :)

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we make this transition! More bugfixes to follow soon!
