The PPPoker Alternative: Take Your Club Standalone

Why PPPoker club owners are going standalone

PPPoker gives clubs a quick start. It also means your players, your brand and your income depend on a platform you don’t control. Successful club owners eventually want to stop renting and run their own platform.

With Silent Aces, your PPPoker club becomes your own poker app. It carries your name in the app stores, takes payments through your own setup, and checks player location for the places you serve. We build it, host it and support it 24/7. You run the club. Most clubs are live 2 to 4 weeks after the first call.

The limits of running a club on PPPoker

• It’s PPPoker’s app, not yours. Players install PPPoker and see PPPoker’s brand. Your club is one name in their lobby, and every hand builds their brand instead of yours.
• Your club runs on their terms. On any shared club app, the platform writes the rules and decides whether a club stays open. You can’t change that.
• Money usually moves outside the app. On shared club apps, buy-ins and cash-outs are commonly settled by hand through agents and transfers. With Silent Aces, deposits and withdrawals run through your own payment setup.
• Little room to make it yours. The lobby, the look and the way players are rewarded are the same for every club on the platform.
• Their brand on every screen. Whatever apps PPPoker offers carry PPPoker’s name. Silent Aces gives your players iOS, Android, web and desktop (Windows and macOS) apps under your name.

“If my club is closed, where do my players go?”

On PPPoker, your players are PPPoker users first and your members second. If your club is closed, they stay on PPPoker and you lose the relationship. On Silent Aces the app carries your brand and player accounts live on your own platform, so the community stays with your club.
