Consensys-incubated poker platform Virtue Poker relaunches to provide gaming infrastructure to the NFT community

Odaily News Virtue Poker, a startup incubated by Consensys, has relaunched its beta version and focuses on providing services to NFT project users. It is reported that Virtue Poker was founded in 2016 with the aim of decentralizing online poker. Virtue was on the verge of collapse last summer when its website was shut down due to difficulty attracting and retaining users. Virtue Poker founder Ryan Gittleson said that today’s launch of a new Virtue Beta test version remains committed to the company’s original mission: to use the tools and spirit of cryptocurrency to redefine modern poker. The improved Virtue Poker platform will provide the infrastructure for clubs and organizations around the world looking to host online poker games and tournaments. Gittleson said the NFT community can incentivize members to participate in Virtue tournaments by offering NFTs and other tokens as prizes to winners. (Decrypt) According to previous news, in April 2021, Virtue Poker, a decentralized poker platform based on Ethereum, announced a financing of US$5 million. ConsenSys and Pantera Capital led the investment, and DFG Group and FunFair founder Jez San participated in the investment.
