Crypto Poker Explained: How Boker Works

Crypto rails, centralized hands

Boker’s public lobby lists six-seat No-Limit Hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha tables using custodial USDC balances. Older SOL tables are unlisted and recovery-only; their records and balances remain denominated in SOL. Solana handles transfers, while Boker’s dealer handles seats, cards, bets, pots, and settlement.

This means a poker action is not an on-chain transaction. The player transfers assets to a platform treasury first, receives a matching internal ledger balance, and then relies on Boker’s software and operations to preserve and return that value.

From account to table and back

• Create or log in to a Boker account with a verified email and choose a public screen name, or use the separate wallet sign-in option.
• To fund current public Poker play, send Solana USDC from a compatible wallet or exchange to the deposit address shown in Boker. Existing SOL balances from earlier tables remain SOL and use the historical recovery or withdrawal path. Connecting a wallet is optional and does not make a deposit.
• Review the asset, network, destination, amount, fee, and current limits before sending a deposit.
• Choose a public USDC table whose blinds and buy-in match the custodial balance you intend to use.
• A server command debits the buy-in from that balance and creates the table stack.
• Standing returns the remaining stack to the internal asset balance; a separate withdrawal request sends or queues funds back to a Solana address.

How completed-hand evidence works

The dealer commits to a server-seed hash and derives a deterministic HMAC-SHA256 shuffle. The completed-hand integrity record reports server-side checks against the private archived seed without revealing it, protecting folded cards. It is not independently reproducible and does not establish custody safety, legal compliance, production-code integrity, or absence of collusion.

Unresolved facts matter

No verified legal entity, gambling license, jurisdiction list, age rule, privacy policy, support route, self-exclusion system, or independent Poker audit was found. Do not interpret a working lobby as proof that the product is lawful or suitable for you.

Understanding the transaction flow does not make poker low risk. Decide a maximum deposit and session duration before connecting, and do not treat access to Boker as proof of age or jurisdiction eligibility.
