Longstroke Card Club
Longstroke is a private online card room: daily freerolls, classic tournaments, progressive and mystery knockout bounties, and cash games, in Hold'em, PLO and PLO Hi-Lo, dealt by provably fair card software. COET set up the Mac mini cluster the club runs and manages itself, helped with the site's design and back-end services, and built the interface its operators use to manage the site, including payments.
Product context
Infrastructure the club owns, not rents.
A card room is always on: tables, tournaments, players and money, around the clock. The goal was a foundation the club's own team can run day to day, and one place to manage everything that matters.
COET's contribution
Mac mini cluster
A cluster of Mac minis set up as the club's own infrastructure, so it runs on hardware the club controls rather than outside hosting.
Self-management
Set up for the operators to run themselves day to day.
Back-end services
Help with the services behind the site.
Web design
Help with the design of the club's site.
Admin and payments
One interface to manage the various parts of the site, including payments.
The room
Everything a card room should have.
Tournaments with knockout and mystery bounties, sit & gos that deal the moment the last seat fills, and cash games with bomb pots and bad beat jackpots.
At the table
Try a table, no account needed.
A practice table with play chips lets anyone sit down before they sign up, on desktop and phone.
Provably fair
Every card sealed before the deal, and checkable after it.
The club seals all 52 cards before each hand and opens only the ones that were shown, each with a proof anyone can paste in and verify. A mucked hand is never opened to another player.
