The Problem

Online poker is plagued by bots and real-time solver assistance. The fix: make presence itself part of the game.

What I Built

  • Peer-to-peer WebRTC video between players — live gameplay, nothing recorded
  • Face Guard AI: on-device face tracking that shortens the action clock and flags an 'Away' badge when a player leaves frame
  • Server-authoritative engine: crypto-grade shuffling, hidden hole cards until showdown, atomic chip ledger
  • Playable instantly in the browser at play.stayinpoker.com; iOS app in progress
