Real Dealer Poker, Straight From Our Lobby

The ante is a mandatory bet placed before cards are dealt. It seeds the pot and ensures every hand has starting value, regardless of whether players raise or fold after seeing their cards.

Fold equity is the added value in a bet that comes from the chance your opponent folds. It is separate from the card strength itself — a bluff works partly because of fold equity.

A side pot forms when one player is all-in but others keep betting. The all-in player competes only for the main pot; the remaining players contest the side pot between themselves.

KYC stands for Know Your Customer. It is an identity verification step — usually a national ID or passport — required before we release withdrawals to your bKash, Nagad, or Rocket account.

A burn card is the top card the dealer discards face-down before dealing community cards. It protects against accidental exposure and is standard procedure in all professionally dealt poker games.

Position refers to where you sit relative to the dealer button. Acting later in a round — being 'in position' — gives you more information because you see opponents' actions before deciding yours.
