Over the last year, poker tours and companies have launched<\/a> into the world of NFTs. Partypoker<\/strong><\/a> now becomes the latest, giving poker fans the chance to own a piece of the site\u2019s history .<\/span><\/p>\n For those new to the collectible craze, NFT<\/strong> stands for non-fungible token<\/strong>. They are unique digital files, which can include items such as artwork, music, or videos.<\/span><\/p>\n These can also be resold and some are fetching big bucks, depending on rarity. NFTs are a modern twist on the classic sports card and leagues have seen major success by launching their own NFTs.<\/span><\/p>\n Partypoker is now teaming up with Theta Labs<\/strong> to offer poker fans a shot to grab some of partypoker\u2019s biggest moments.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cPartypoker has established a history across 20 years full of great hands and epic poker moments that have happened during our live and online events,\u201d partypoker director Vadim Soloveychik<\/strong> said in a news release. \u201cWe are happy to give players the opportunity to own their very own piece of poker history in partnership with Theta. I am truly excited for partypoker to join the NFT space.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Theta Labs already has some experience in the poker NFT market. The company announced a partnership<\/a> with the World Poker Tour<\/strong> last year.<\/span><\/p>\n The World Series of Poker also released a batch of NFTs in 2021. Players themselves, such as Phil Ivey<\/strong> and Antonio Esfandiari<\/strong>, have also released NFTs of their own big moments. Partypoker is now getting in on the act as well.<\/span><\/p>\n The party collection showcases iconic moments and tournament hands in the history of partypoker and partypoker LIVE. Some will also feature special PokerApes<\/strong>, a series of high-definition images with a partypoker twist. Some of those will feature full 3D artwork and other unique traits.<\/span><\/p>\n Theta Labs is a distributed video delivery pioneer, powered by blockchain technology<\/strong>. Theta provides end-to-end infrastructure for decentralized video and powers NFT and metaverse platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The new deal brings something new to poker NFTs. For the first time, players can view available collectibles from an online poker platform<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n The partypoker marketplace will feature primary sales of new NFTs and a secondary marketplace for users to trade. Much of that will be available in the partypoker software client.<\/span><\/p>\n The agreement may also move beyond the poker brand. Party is owned by Entain Group<\/strong>, a leading global sports betting<\/strong>, gaming, and interactive entertainment group.<\/span><\/p>\n The partypoker launch is the first stage of a wider partnership between Entain and Theta. Plans call for NFTs to be developed for brands across the company, incorporating video streaming<\/strong>, metaverse, games, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n Theta is one of the first partners working with Ennovate<\/strong>, an Innovation hub launched by Entain in London. Ennovate will invest up to \u00a3100 million<\/strong> in technology projects, including many with UK<\/a> and global partners. The company has earmarked about \u00a340 million<\/strong> specifically for the UK.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThis is an exciting, new, global collaboration,\u201d Theta Labs CEO Mitch Liu said. \u201cFor the first time, we are licensing our integrated white-label NFT platform to one of the world\u2019s largest sports betting,\u00a0 gaming and interactive entertainment groups, and we couldn\u2019t ask for better partners in partypoker and Entain Group.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cBeing integrated into the partypoker application enables an NFT user experience as exciting and seamless as possible to customers, powered by Theta Network, Theta edge nodes to support video NFTs and TFUEL for transactions.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The companies haven\u2019t announced a date yet for the NFT launch, but more details are expected to be released soon.<\/span><\/p>\n Over the last year, poker tours and companies have launched into the world of NFTs.
