(1/3) TEXAS HOLD’EM ON WEB3 IS HERE
— A Guide to W3POKER
Hey, poker fans!
If you’re anything like us, you’d agree that NFTs and Poker are a match made in heaven — just like beer and pizza, bored apes and yacht club, Elon Musk and bad tweets.
But just using your NFT avatar to play traditional, casino site-style poker seems a waste of Web3’s potential, which is why Web3Games are launching our own take on Texas Hold’em! We’re all absolutely stoked to introduce a gamified, community-oriented, fully metaverse-integrated twist on the classic game we all know and love.
Got questions? I bet — Keep reading for a quick overview and introduction to the world of W3POKER.
Ok cool, but What is W3POKER?
W3POKER is a Poker social platform and Win-to-Earn NFT game, where you earn rewards by playing Texas Hold’em. Complete missions, collect NFTs, and compete against each other to show your poker skills, and reach the top of the season’s ranking!

How do I earn from W3POKER?
W3POKER is blockchain-based and uses a combination of token incentives, NFTs, collectibles, and a ranking system to allocate rewards at the end of each season.
W3POKER differs from other poker games in how rewards are earned and distributed, in that the play-to-earn mechanism uses a revenue-sharing model. Part of the W3POKER income shown above will be taken out for sharing to ensure a sustainable game economy. By the time Web3Games and its products are launched, governance tokens will be released to enhance the economy, enabling more utilities for the game.
In W3POKER, players use in-game chips to win games and earn points, which means the gameplay doesn’t involve real cash. The revenue is shared based on how well you play!
Gameplay
In W3POKER, PASS NFTs, Mascots, in-game Chips, Rankings, and Points are all key elements that combine to add an innovative Web3 flavor to the classic game of Texas Hold’em.
Now let’s take a tutorial to help you understand how it works:
- To start playing, you’ll need a PASS NFT (either Party PASS or VIP PASS).
(find out more about this in our next article…)
Note: Free Party PASS is claimable in-app directly & VIP PASS is purchasable both in-app and on Web3Games Portal.
- Every 24 hours, claim your Daily Chips, allocated based on the properties of your PASS and Mascot.
- Play with in-game chips to earn more points and move up the leaderboard!
- If you run out of chips but still wanna keep playing, you can buy Chip (in Party Mode) or Chip Tickets (in Season Mode) to top up.
Note: Your daily ranking will be refreshed if you use Chip Ticket in Season Mode.
- Collect Rewards when a certain amount of [Hands Won] and [Hands Played] are reached.
- At the end of each day, earn points based on your ranking.
- Points reset at the end of each season, and rewards are distributed based on points earned.
WHAT’S MORE?
W3POKER Chips are only used in-game, so unlike real-world and online casino games, you’re not staking your hard-earned cash on each hand.
Chips aren’t transferable. The reward (revenue) you receive at the end of each season is calculated by points, not chips!
In our next two articles, we’ll first explain more about how NFTs in W3POKER work, and then give you more info on how rewards are distributed and revenue is shared out.
