View ChartVirtue Poker is an open, web-based poker platform built around blockchain technology and peer-to-peer networking. Conceived in 2016 as a ConsenSys-incubated company, Virtue Poker is one of the oldest blockchain gaming projects still active. It allows anyone to create token-gated poker games, tournaments, or clubs and invite participants through a simple web link. The platform is chain agnostic: the VPP token is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, and the platform currently works across L1 networks (Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana) and L2 networks (Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism). VPP is the native token with a maximum supply of 500,000,000. It is described as one of the oldest projects in the blockchain space still around, and it holds a Malta Gaming Authority licence.
Private and strategic rounds were priced at $0.125 with a 6-month cliff and 0.411% daily release; the team allocation had a 6-month cliff with 0.274% daily release; liquidity unlocked 20% at TGE with 10% monthly thereafter; reserves are locked for two years.
Virtue Poker is a Malta-based company founded by Ryan Gittleson, who serves as Co-founder and CEO and leads business development. He is described as a seasoned business development and marketing professional who worked full-time on the project for nine years. The project also features Phil Ivey, a professional poker player holding 10 World Series of Poker bracelets, as a Team Pro member. According to ICOholder, the team includes a former NASA engineer, the first Chief Marketing Officer of PokerStars, and a development and product team averaging over 15 years of experience in their fields.
The platform operates as a peer-to-peer decentralized poker network built on Ethereum. It pairs a uPort attested-to identity with a user's public and private key pair in a player registry, ensuring only registered participants can join games. Transactions between players and hosts rely on the Ethereum blockchain. Users can sign up with an email and password or by connecting a wallet. The system supports email-gated events through CSV uploads and allows multiple wallet addresses to be associated with a single account by signing a message once.
Virtue Poker is described as one of the first blockchain-based poker platforms to hold a Malta Gaming Authority licence. It is chain agnostic, working across multiple layer 1 and layer 2 networks, and supports token-gated clubs and tournaments for any token or NFT. Hosts can customize tournament and club pages, share links, and build private lobbies of cash tables and tournaments. The platform allows communities to form unions by specifying multiple contract addresses for crossover events and enables users to represent their community with any NFT as an avatar.
The VPP token is integral to the Virtue Poker club on the platform. It can be held or staked to access free poker tournaments, burned to enter poker tournaments, and used to purchase Poker Dog NFTs that provide unlimited access to the Virtue Poker club and partner clubs. The token also supports the platform's free-to-play play-to-earn model, which launched in December 2021 and allows play money poker to pay out for both players and the platform.
The ecosystem includes the core poker platform, a free-to-play play-to-earn environment, and Poker Dog NFTs.

The platform has attracted backing from Pantera Capital, ConsenSys, Fenbushi Capital, Digital Finance Group, Digital Strategies, and Iconium. According to Tracxn, the project raised a total of $5M over two rounds from 13 investors, with a $5M round announced on 15 April 2021.
VPP is not mined: it is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum with a fixed maximum supply of 500,000,000. It can be acquired on supported platforms, held or staked to access free poker tournaments, burned to enter tournaments, or used to buy Poker Dog NFTs. Token allocations cover private and strategic rounds, a public round, a community round, team, and liquidity, with vesting schedules that began in November 2021; reserves are locked for two years.
Store VPP in a reputable wallet that supports ERC-20 tokens and the additional chains where the token operates. Hardware wallets provide strong protection for private keys. Always verify the contract address before interacting with the token: the official Ethereum contract is 0x5eeaa2dcb23056f4e8654a349e57ebe5e76b5e6e, with additional contracts listed on BscScan and BaseScan. Use official links from the Virtue Poker website and avoid sharing private keys or seed phrases. For platform participation, connect only trusted wallets and review permissions when signing messages or transactions.
VPP is a volatile crypto asset: its price can fluctuate significantly, and the value of holdings is not guaranteed. Regulatory treatment of crypto assets and gaming tokens varies by jurisdiction and may change. Blockchain platforms also carry technical risks, including smart contract vulnerabilities and network disruptions. The points above are informational and should not be treated as investment advice.
