SINGAPORE: After losing money playing online poker, three friends decided to create their own club hosting poker games within their social circle.
They set it up with a mobile app and bought virtual coins to start games, which they took turns to host daily after their working hours. In a single day in November 2018, they facilitated 29 players in their All in Poker Club with a total bet value of S$11,682.
