Dog Poker Club
Decentralized Blockchain Poker
Non-custodial by design: you control your funds. Technology compatible with almost all blockchains (EVM blockchain: Ethereum, Polygon, BSC, etc).
What is Dog Poker Club?
A Protocol That Uses Cryptography to Protect Poker Players from Cheating and Manipulation
Dog Poker Club is a cryptographic trust layer and decentralized poker protocol on-chain. Players participate in trustless games where cryptography enforce fairness, ensuring that funds cannot be stolen, withdrawals cannot be delayed, and card distribution cannot be manipulated by any party.
The protocol uses next-generation cryptographic mechanisms to verify randomness, maintain privacy, and enforce the rules of the game autonomously, allowing poker games to run, results to be resolved, and winnings to be distributed with complete transparency. Players interact directly from their wallet, remaining entirely within the blockchain environment.
Why decentralize online poker?
The History of Online Poker
The history of online poker has been marked by abuse of power and structural failures.

Additional Concerns (Unverified)
The following incidents have been widely discussed in the poker community but lack sufficient public documentation or formal verification from reliable industry sources or regulators:
Bots & Collusion
There have been numerous player allegations and community discussions about sophisticated bot networks and collusion rings operating on major poker platforms. However, there is limited public evidence from reliable industry sources or regulators that documents a massive, coordinated system of advanced AI bots sharing hole card information as described in some theories. While bot detection and prevention is an ongoing challenge for online poker platforms, specific claims about widespread sophisticated networks remain largely unverified.
Real-Time Assistance (RTA)
There have been many accusations in the poker community about players using real-time assistance tools (RTA) and GTO solvers during live online tournaments, particularly on platforms like GGPoker. However, there has not been a large-scale public conviction or formal documentation proving these accusations as a widespread, systematic scheme according to reputable press sources. While platforms have banned accounts for suspected RTA use, the full extent and impact of such practices remain controversial and not fully verified.
Dog Poker Club is built to prevent these problems from ever happening again.
Why are we so secure?
Our Three Pillars of Trust
Decentralization
The poker platform operates without central authorities, ensuring that no single party controls the gameplay, card dealing, or results.
Control of Money
Players maintain full custody of their funds at all times through smart contracts, eliminating the need to trust centralized operators.
Transparency
All game logic, transactions, and randomization processes are verifiable on-chain, guaranteeing provable fairness for every hand.
EVM Compatibility
A Protocol Compatible with Any EVM Network
Dog Poker Club is built on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) standard, making it compatible with any EVM-compatible blockchain. This design choice ensures maximum accessibility, flexibility, and interoperability across the entire Ethereum ecosystem and its many Layer 2 solutions.
While the protocol can work on any EVM-compatible network, our development team prepares and deploys the smart contracts on each specific chain. This allows us to ensure proper configuration, security audits, and optimal performance for each network. Whether you prefer the security of Ethereum mainnet, the low fees of Polygon, or the speed of Arbitrum, we can deploy the protocol on the network that works best for you.
Multi-Chain Access
Deploy on any EVM-compatible blockchain including Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, and more. Choose the network that best fits current market conditions, fees, and performance needs.
Universal Wallet Support
Players can connect with any EVM-compatible wallet like MetaMask, WalletConnect, or Coinbase Wallet. No platform-specific wallets or custom integrations required—use what you already have.
Lower Transaction Costs
Adapt to market conditions by deploying on Layer 2 networks and sidechains when gas fees are high. Dramatically reduce costs, making smaller stakes games economically viable for players.
Faster Gameplay
Switch to high-throughput networks when speed matters most. Experience faster transaction confirmations, card dealing, betting, and payouts without compromising security or decentralization.
Ecosystem Integration
Seamlessly integrate with DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, and other dApps across the EVM ecosystem. Use poker winnings throughout the blockchain without friction or additional conversions.
Strategic Adaptability
As market conditions change, we can deploy on whichever EVM network offers the best combination of fees, speed, and security. This flexibility ensures optimal player experience regardless of blockchain dynamics.
How It Works
Understanding the Cryptographic Protocol
Dog Poker Club is a cryptographic protocol that enables trustless poker games without third parties. Since blockchains are deterministic and public, cards cannot be dealt randomly and privately on-chain.
The protocol solves this by having all players participate in a cryptographic shuffle: each player shuffles the deck in turn, ensuring randomness and privacy. After shuffling, players decrypt their own cards with the help of other players without compromising privacy.
The blockchain resolves disputes, removes non-collaborative players from the cryptographic protocol, and protects player tokens.
Open Second Tab
To test the "How It Works" feature, you need exactly two tabs of this page open. This is required because the protocol requires two players to interact. The system is designed for exactly 2 players and is not intended for more tabs.
⚠️ Important: You need exactly 2 tabs
This demonstration requires exactly 2 browser tabs. The system is designed for 2 players only and will not work correctly with more tabs.
