## Your club closes at 2 a.m. Your players don’t.

Your regulars want a game after the doors close, before work, or on a Tuesday when they can’t make it in. Every one of those hours is a game your club isn’t hosting.

Most guides stop at “put your club in an app”. That only solves half the problem. If your online room and your live room don’t know each other, you end up running **two separate businesses**, with two player lists, two reward schemes and two sets of rakeback. Your players feel the gap too: what they earn at your tables means nothing in the app, and the other way round.

Silent Aces is built to close that gap. You get **one club, two rooms, one player and one rewards system**.

## The 360° poker club: what “connected” actually means

Big casino groups worked this out years ago. Programs like Caesars Rewards and Hard Rock’s Unity let players earn and redeem the same rewards online and on the casino floor. Industry analysts call it omnichannel loyalty, and it’s a big reason players stay with one brand.

Independent poker clubs have never had that. Silent Aces gives a single poker club the same idea, scaled to your room:

| Feature | Club + third-party app | Silent Aces 360 |
|---|---|---|
| Player account | Separate in each place | **One player ID, live and online** |
| Loyalty | Live only, or app only | **One loyalty wallet, playable on cash tables** |
| Rakeback | Calculated by hand, paid separately | **One rakeback program, withdrawable as cash** |
| Brand | The app’s brand | **Your club’s brand everywhere** |
| Player data | Split, or owned by the app | **One back office you own** |

### 1. One player ID

A player who sits at your Friday game and plays on your app on Sunday is the same person, so they should have one profile. You see their full history, live and online, in one place. Your marketing, VIP decisions and player management get better as a result.

### 2. Rakeback players can withdraw

Your players earn rakeback on the rake they generate, and it goes straight to their real-money balance. **They can withdraw it directly**, with no vouchers and no manual settlement through agents. If you already give your live regulars rakeback, you can bring it into the same program so live and online play count together.

### 3. A loyalty wallet that turns play into real value

Loyalty works differently from rakeback, and that difference keeps players engaged:

- Players earn **loyalty coins** into their loyalty wallet.
- Coins are used to **play cash games**.
- What they **win with those coins converts to real money**, which they can withdraw.

Loyalty rewards your most active players and keeps them at *your* tables, without handing out cash for nothing.

**Your club, your rules.** Every club runs loyalty differently, so earn rates, conversion rules, eligible games and limits are all set up for your club and your market. Nothing is one-size-fits-all.

### 4. Each room feeds the other

- Live regulars keep playing on your app between visits, instead of drifting to another app.
- Online players come to your live events because they’re already part of your club.
- Your biggest live tournaments can run online satellites, and your online leaderboard winners can earn a seat at the club.

## Why not just stay on PokerBros, ClubGG or PPPoker?

Shared club apps are a quick start, but they can’t do any of the above. ClubGG’s own help centre says its chips “have no monetary value”, so there’s no real rakeback or withdrawable reward inside the app. These platforms can also suspend or close a club at their own discretion, and when that happens your players stay on their app, not with you.

## What your own platform includes

- **Your brand:** your club’s name, logo and colours on iOS, Android, web and desktop.
- **Your payments:** your own gateway for crypto (NOWPayments) plus cards and bank transfers (Approvely). No chips settled by hand through agents and chat messages.
- **Your rules:** set your own rake, or charge time-based fees for every 5 or 10 minutes of play.
- **Your games:** Texas Hold’em, PLO 4/5/6, Big O and mixed games, with Bomb Pots, Double Board, Run It Multiple Times, voice and video chat, MTTs, freerolls and multi-day events.
- **Your back office:** players, tables, agents, affiliates, rake, rakeback and loyalty in one admin panel.

You also choose which features your players see, so the app stays simple: read [why your poker club needs its own poker platform](https://silentaces.com/blogs/why-your-poker-club-needs-its-own-platform/).

## Security your players and regulators expect

- **Location checks** with Radar, including fake-GPS and mock-location detection, and IP-vs-GPS country checks
- **VPN and proxy detection** with MaxMind
- **Geo-restrictions**, so you only accept players where your licence allows
- **RNG certified by iTech Labs** for every shuffle and deal
- **Fraud and bot detection** to keep the games fair

## How clubs earn more with a connected platform

1. **Tables never close.** Rake or time fees keep coming in after the club shuts.
2. **Players stay longer.** Withdrawable rakeback and a loyalty wallet give players a reason to stay with *your* brand.
3. **Fewer players lost to other apps.** Your regulars don’t need a third-party app to play online.
4. **One rewards budget.** Rakeback and loyalty run from one place instead of two.
5. **Agents and affiliates grow the room**, with their player groups managed in one place.

> Results depend on your player base, games, fees and local rules, and aren’t guaranteed.

One example: [a US poker club that now makes $100K a month in rake online](https://silentaces.com/blogs/case-study-us-poker-club-100k-a-month-online/), with tables and tournaments running 24/7.

## What it takes to start

- **Platform Launch:** $1,500 one-time setup, $500/month for servers, and a revenue share of up to 10% of GGR. Your setup fee comes back to you as credit against your revenue-share payments.
- **Dedicated Platform:** $5,000 setup and $1,000/month, for clubs that want their own servers and more control.

## FAQ

### Can players withdraw their rakeback?

Yes. Rakeback is paid into the player’s real-money balance and can be withdrawn directly.

### How does the loyalty wallet work?

Players earn loyalty coins and use them to play cash games. Winnings from those games convert to real money, which players can withdraw. Each club sets its own loyalty rules.

### Do my players need separate accounts for the club and the app?

No. Each player has one ID across your live room and your app.

### Can I set my own rakeback and loyalty rules?

Yes. Rates, conversion rules, eligible games and limits are customised for your club and your market.

### Is it legal to run my poker club online?

It depends on where you and your players are. Real-money poker rules differ by country and state, and the operator is responsible for the licences its region requires. Silent Aces gives you the enforcement tools (location checks, VPN detection, geo-restrictions), but we don’t give legal advice. Please confirm your requirements with a local gaming lawyer before launch.

### How is this different from running a club on PokerBros or ClubGG?

Those apps host many clubs inside one shared app, their chips have no cash value, and the platform can close your club. Silent Aces is your own branded platform, with withdrawable rakeback, a loyalty wallet and one player ID across your live room and app.
