Decentralized poker playing platform Virtue Poker has just announced participants for its charity tournament taking place in June. The no-limit Texas Hold’em tournament will feature 12 participants.

Moreover, for the remaining three seats, Virtue Poker has a special offering. One member each from the Virtue Poker, SuperFarm, and Ethernity communities will have the chance to win themselves a seat! As per the game rules, the tournament set up will begin from two starting tables.  From there, the top three players from each will advance to the final poker table. The player who wins will select their preferred charity to receive proceeds from the event. Also, the ConsenSys-owned project plans to stream the event through its main Twitch channel as well players’ private channels.

Talking about the fundraising event, CEO Ryan Gittleson stated, “Virtue Poker is excited to take this next step to drive awareness and adoption of the world’s first blockchain-based P2P poker platform. Through our partnership with SuperStarter and our execution of our Celebrity Poker Charity event, Virtue Poker will be able to grow our community’s foundation as well as showcase the platform to a broad audience.”

The tournament is just the milestone-marking event VirtuePoker needs. Recently, it completed a successful funding round of $5 Million and is now coming closer to its initial DEX offering. The IDO is planned to be held on 28th May on SuperFarm’s Super starter launchpad, coinciding with Virtue Poker’s real-money launch.
