I have heard of these apps from buddies who do play them, but I've never played them. I don't know if you deposit actual cash or what, but I do play on some online home games in the USA which regularly run up to T20 plo and are all based on credit backed by bookies. As for getting paid etc, guess you just gotta go through a guy whose willing to back your wins for the rake.

Don't usually reference HDB but there's an article on there about them and their gaining popularity in China.
I know a bunch of people playing on them. I would imagine something happens at some point in time as well.
I think the US home games are going to become more popular in the future.

Most live players freak the **** out when it gets to 8 handed so I wouldn't be too optimistic.

Had no idea this was going on, this is a good heads up to people.
