Registration Improvements

We’ve made several updates to make signing up and logging in smoother and more reliable:

  • Smarter duplicate account detection and automatic profile merging to reduce confusion.
  • Faster and more consistent email, phone, and social login verification.
  • Clearer on-screen messaging and improved guidance during registration steps.
  • Fixes for modal overlaps, button labels, and redirect issues.
  • Backend performance and data synchronization improvements for a more stable experience.

All-In Showdown Transparency

We’ve enhanced gameplay clarity when players go all-in:

  • Automatic card reveal whenever all betting is complete and hands are live to showdown.
  • Winning hand clearly displayed, showing the best 5-card combo for each pot.
  • Visual indicators highlight pot winners (main and side pots) for complete transparency.

Player Inactivity Handling

Games now stay active and engaging with improved timeout detection:

  • Players are automatically sat out after 2 missed turns (15-second standard timer).
  • A clear “I’m Back” button allows quick re-entry to the table.
  • Players are removed from the table after 5 missed actions and returned to the lobby.
  • Applies to both cash games and tournaments, keeping tables responsive and fair.

New Multi-Tabling Experience

We’ve redesigned multi-tabling for a smoother, more flexible experience:

  • Simplified setup for playing multiple tables across cash and tournament formats.
  • Improved layout management and table organization for better focus and control.
  • Faster transitions and more intuitive navigation between tables.
