Poker

Peer-to-peer cash tables and tournaments under sweepstakes rules.

Sweepstakes poker is played between players rather than against the house, with the operator taking a rake denominated in coins. Both ring games and tournament formats are offered.

Because the operator is not the counterparty, the central questions are liquidity, bot detection, collusion policy and the integrity of the random number generator — the same questions asked of any online poker room, but answered here outside a state licensing framework.

The category is small: a handful of brands account for almost all of the visible player pool.
