I've been running the Steem Poker League for over a year now, and while overall it's been a success by my measurements, I don't feel that the site reached the full potential of my original vision due to the lack of interest from the Steem Community.

Back when I first created Lucksacks for the SPL, I had plans to allow any token to host a tournament. While we were able to accomplish that goal by hosting tournaments for UIA's (user issued assets) on the BitShares blockchain, we never were able to put the features in place to handle the payouts for non-Steem based tokens.

So to solve that problem I've teamed up with @ats-david (Founder of BRO Sports - Blockchain Rewards Oriented Sports), @internetguy (former WPT/Vegas dealer)  and @bethelea (Co-Founder of Community Casino) to build another poker site that will give us and the players more features and flexibility than what we have with Lucksacks SPL.

Our timing with Scorum could not have been better!


We've been working on the new site for over a month now, with very little support from the Steem Community, so it's been a "job" vs fun, and with few cheering us on things began to drag. When you're working a "job" with no pay, it's hard to stay positive, especially when you're doing it for others.

Then we found Scorum!


Our sense of joy has been renewed and we are very enthusiastic after seeing the reception here at Scorum from the users. This is exactly what we needed and precisely the crowd of people for which we want to build a site!

Above is an image from Lucksacks.com where we host the SPL tournaments. Our plan is to build the same type of poker site, but build it around Scorum's growing Sports Community.

We do not accept any deposits from players and there is no risk at all to play on the site, which means that our site is ...

LEGAL IN ALL JURISDICTIONS WORLDWIDE!


And ... we even have Ring Games! That's right, you can take your Freeroll winnings and head on over to the Ring Games and wager your winnings against other players in an effort to pad your bankroll even more!

But I've said enough. =)

I know my partner @ats-david wants to tell you even more about what we have planned, so I'll let him fill in all of the details in his upcoming posts.

So I hope you all are as hyped as we are about setting this all up! If you'd like to get a head start and meet some of the Lucksacks Community, feel free to join our Discord Chat and we'll see you at the tables soon!
