LAUNCH PROMISE

100% back. For everyone.

Our goal is simple: poker that returns 100% of every buy-in, easily, for everyone. Small tables are free of any burn or fee. The big tables pay a tiny commission, and that commission keeps the lights on for all of us.

Live today

$1, $3, $5 and $10 tables: 100% RTP, no burn, no house fee.
$20 tables and up: 95% RTP, 4% burned, 1% house fee.
Everything below the line is a proposal. TRIO has no monetary value today, and deposits and withdrawals are switched off.

Where a buy-in goes

$1–$10 tables

Back to players: 100%
Burned: 0%
House fee: 0%

$20–$1,000 tables

Back to players: 95%

House fee: 1%

Why the rich should pay for the poor

Economists have argued about fairness for centuries. We solved it in one line of code: if your buy-in is $10 or less, you keep all of it on average. If it's $20 or more, you chip in 1% for the servers and 4% to the fire.

Is this redistribution? Absolutely. Is it fair? Think of it this way: the player at the $1,000 table can afford it, and the player at the $1 table is going to be the player at the $1,000 table in three weeks. We're investing in their future. It's basically a pension scheme with more bluffing.

And the big tables get something too: every burned TRIO makes everyone's remaining TRIO a little scarcer, including theirs. The rich pay for the poor, the poor get rich, the burn makes everyone richer. Trickle-down economics, except it actually trickles.

Frequently asked objections

Isn't 100% RTP a terrible business model?

Only if you want to run a business. We want to run a poker table. The $20+ tables run the business.

What stops a whale from playing $10 tables?

Nothing. Welcome, whale. Enjoy the $10 tables. The prize is still capped at 40× the buy-in.

Who pays for the servers then?

Anyone who plays a $20+ table. One $100 table covers the hosting for dozens of $1 tables. See the calculator.

Proposed TRIO tokenomics

A fixed supply of 1,000,000,000 TRIO. Nothing new is ever minted; the burn only makes it smaller. At the $0.01 planning price, the fully diluted value is $10,000,000.

Real crypto in, real crypto out: 0.1%

At launch, deposits and withdrawals in BTC, ETH, SOL, USDT and USDC would cost a flat 0.1%. There are no spreads or hidden conversion fees. A $100 deposit gives you $99.90 worth of TRIO. Withdrawing $1,000 of TRIO sends you $999.

Staking is the liquidity pool

1
Stake
Staked TRIO moves into the liquidity vault next to the USDC side. The vault is the cashier every deposit and withdrawal goes through.
2
Earn twice
Stakers keep their tier APR from the rewards reserve and also share 100% of the 0.1% deposit and withdrawal fees, pro rata.
3
Stay steady
Unstaking still takes one calendar month, so the vault can't be emptied overnight. Withdrawals above 5% of the vault in one day are queued for the next day.

The trade-off: like any liquidity pool, the vault's mix of TRIO and USDC shifts as people deposit and withdraw, so stakers carry price exposure. This is a proposal, not an offer or a promise of returns.

The working economics

Move the numbers. The defaults are a modest first month after launch.

How deep is the vault?

A constant-product vault seeded with $100,000 USDC and 10M TRIO. A withdrawal sells TRIO into it:

WithdrawalUSDC outPrice impact

$1,000$9901.0%

$10,000$9,0919.1%

$50,000$33,33333.3%

This is why the liquidity bucket is large and why the fees go to stakers: the deeper the vault, the less a withdrawal moves the price. Figures ignore the 0.1% fee and outside arbitrage.

PokerTrio is free to play. TRIO is a prelaunch play coin with no monetary value. It cannot be bought, sold, deposited or withdrawn today. Everything on this page except the table split is a proposal. It may change and is not an offer, investment advice or a promise of any price or return.
