X-Poker is a mobile poker app for iOS and Android, released around 2020. The platform is primarily focused on social play and private clubs, allowing users to host games with friends or small groups instead of relying solely on open public tables.
Compared to other mobile poker apps, X-Poker isn’t the busiest room out there. However, besides the standard NLHE, PLO, and OFC tables, you can also find some more “wild” or unconventional NLHE and PLO variants, such as Squid, Double Board, and Bomb Pots. The developers promote the app as a way to play poker anytime and anywhere in a secure environment, supported by fairness tools like certified random number generators.
The app offers plenty of social and customization features, including private clubs, custom table rules, in-app chat, emojis/reactions, multi-tabling, and personalized card decks and table themes.
Club-Based System (Core Concept)
Unlike traditional poker rooms, X-Poker revolves around private communities called clubs, a structure similar to PokerBros or PPPoker. Creating a club is usually quick and doesn’t require any special status. Club managers can invite players, run cash games or tournaments, and control settings and membership.
Although many games involve real-money stakes, the platform itself only provides virtual chips. All financial transactions take place outside the app. Deposits, withdrawals, and chip-to-cash conversions are typically handled by club owners or agents, often through cryptocurrency or other payment methods.
There is also a higher-level system called unions, which connect multiple clubs together. This increases player traffic, enables larger prize pools, and keeps games running 24/7 across different stakes.
Many unions focus on specific regions — such as Asian, CIS, European, or American players — which often results in softer competition, especially in Omaha and heads-up formats.
Things to Consider
Game availability and liquidity depend heavily on the club or union you join. Some target high rollers, while others cater to recreational or low-stakes players. Access is usually arranged through agents, who may offer rakeback deals, safer transactions, or better exchange rates.
User feedback is mixed. Many players praise the clean interface, frequent updates, and fun features. On the other hand, there are occasional complaints about unfair games or biased management within certain private clubs — a common issue with decentralized, club-based platforms. Security and legality are not standardized across the system, so choosing trustworthy partners is essential, as payment disputes can occur.
How New Players Typically Join
Most new players join clubs through agents, Telegram channels, or trusted affiliate sites promoting active and verified clubs. The app is free with virtual chips for practice, but real-money games take place inside private clubs.
Experienced agents help select a suitable club or union based on stakes, game types, time zone, and table softness — offering secure transactions (including crypto), rakeback, and access to reliable communities with steady traffic.
A popular choice, especially among CIS players, is the Black Sea Union — a large union with a solid player pool and games running 24/7. Formats include MTTs, NLHE, OFC, PLO (4/5/6), Short Deck, Double Board, Bomb Pot, and more. Peak activity is usually 11:00–19:00 UTC.
One of the active clubs inside Black Sea Union is:
- RedRum Poker (Club ID: 2517933) — secure environment, fast & reliable transactions, professional 24/7 support provided by our poker agency.
Other currently strong private clubs worth considering (outside of Black Sea Union):
- Schulhof 2.0 — A small private club with regular evening PLO5 games at 3/6 chips (European time).
- Mufasa — Similar to the previous club. The main differences are that active tables are available throughout the day, with the focus shifted to PLO6 at stakes ranging from 0.5/1 to 3/6 chips.
Many players get started quickly and safely by working with us. Redrum poker team helps with registration, deposits/withdrawals, and finding games that match their style.
