Coinpoker alleged Software supplier and possible security issues

Concerns Regarding CoinPoker’s Software Supplier and Potential Security Risks
Report Compiled on March 6, 2026
Disclaimer: This report is based solely on publicly available community allegations, reviews, and reports about PokerBaazi, the alleged supplier of CoinPoker’s software. There is no confirmed evidence of security issues, rigging, or other problems in CoinPoker’s current platform. The connection between CoinPoker and PokerBaazi is based on community speculation (e.g., Reddit discussions) and is not officially acknowledged by CoinPoker. This is not a technical audit or accusation of wrongdoing by CoinPoker; it is a review of public concerns about the supplier to evaluate if rehashing such software could be a wise move for a site aiming for trustworthiness. All information is from verifiable sources and is presented for informational purposes only. Players should conduct their own due diligence and consider independent audits before using any platform.
Background on the Alleged Software Supplier
CoinPoker’s new desktop client (launched March 2, 2026) has been described in community discussions as an “exact clone” or rehash of PokerBaazi’s software, an Indian poker platform. PokerBaazi was a major real-money gaming site in India until it halted operations in August 2025 following India’s Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, which banned real-money gaming nationwide. The bill was framed as a public health measure to curb addiction and financial harm, but it primarily targeted unregulated platforms like PokerBaazi. CoinPoker describes its update as a “ground-up rebuild” with enhanced security, but the alleged similarity to PokerBaazi raises questions about potential inherited vulnerabilities.
The connection is unconfirmed by CoinPoker, but community speculation on Reddit (e.g., r/poker) notes visual and functional similarities, suggesting a possible white-label or cloned setup. If true, this could mean CoinPoker adopted software from a supplier with a dubious reputation, potentially exposing users to risks like bugs or hidden features.
Reported Security Concerns and Allegations Against PokerBaazi
PokerBaazi has faced significant public criticism, including allegations of rigging, scams, and security lapses. While these are community reports and not proven, they highlight potential risks if CoinPoker’s software is derived from the same base. Key concerns:
• Rigging and Super User Allegations: Multiple users claim PokerBaazi uses manipulated algorithms, insider players, and bots to favor the house. For example, a Reddit thread alleges “rigged” games with “insider people pretending as player to steal money.” Trustpilot reviews echo this: “Complete Fraud. All manipulated cards… Do not spend money on their cash app” and “Totally Rigged and Biased – Stay Away!… It feels like the cards are manipulated to push players to keep spending.” MouthShut reviews summarize complaints as “rigged” with “house players” winning consistently.
• Scams and Fraud Claims: Users report deliberate traps, such as initial wins to hook players followed by controlled losses. Trustpilot: “fraud,” “scam,” with quotes like “team members and agents who play and win big money” and “the platform ensures losses despite skill.” A Reddit post calls it a “scam” with proof of rigging.
• Security and Vulnerability Issues: While specific super user allegations are not widespread, the platform’s poor reputation for fairness raises concerns about backdoors or hidden features. Quora discussions question if PokerBaazi is trusted, with mixed answers. Scam-Detector reviews pokerbaazi.com as potentially fraudulent. General industry reports on rigged poker (e.g., Absolute Poker superuser scandal) show how similar platforms have had vulnerabilities leading to cheats. PokerBaazi’s ban in India was due to the Online Gaming Bill, not specific security breaches, but the shutdown highlights operational instability.
• Other Risks: Reviews mention account blocks without explanation and lack of transparency: “They block your money and steal my money.” This could indicate weak security if accounts are vulnerable to insider abuse.
Implications for CoinPoker
If CoinPoker rehashed PokerBaazi’s software (as speculated), it could inherit bugs or vulnerabilities from a supplier with a history of rigging allegations. CoinPoker’s launch had “tons of bugs,” including Electron misconfigurations flagged as potential RCE risks. While CoinPoker has addressed some concerns, the supplier’s dubious reputation raises questions:
• Was this a wise move? PokerBaazi was a major player but shut down under regulatory pressure. Reusing its software might save costs but imports risks from a platform accused of fraud and rigging. In an industry scarred by super user scandals (e.g., Absolute Poker), players worry about hidden features allowing cheats.
• No confirmed issues in CoinPoker: The platform claims “enhanced security,” and no verified super user or rigging complaints exist. However, without independent audits, the supplier’s history could undermine trust. To expand on this, CoinPoker provides a Proof of Reserves (PoR) report showing $17M in reserves for player balances (published August 2024), which is visible on the blockchain and verifiable in real-time via their website. This is a transparency measure for financial solvency, but it does not cover software security or audits. There is no evidence of independent third-party audits for CoinPoker’s software, RNG, or operations. Their RNG is blockchain-based and verifiable via a tool on their site, but no external audit firm (e.g., eCOGRA or iTech Labs) is mentioned. The AML policy references periodic internal or external audits for compliance, but no public reports exist. The management structure is anonymous, with no named CEO or executives on the website, news, or legal pages; everything is “The CoinPoker Team.” Founders Tony G and Isabelle Mercier are historical, but Tony G stepped down in 2024. Only Justas Kregzde is listed as CTO in some databases. Community trust relies on PoR, ambassador endorsements, and the site’s claims, but no independent audits mean it’s essentially “on trust” with ambassadors as the face.
Conclusion
PokerBaazi’s reputation for alleged rigging, scams, and security concerns makes it a dubious supplier for any poker site. If CoinPoker rehashed its software, it may not have been the wisest move, as it could expose users to inherited risks like bugs or hidden features. Community speculation is unconfirmed, but the supplier’s past (banned in India) warrants caution. CoinPoker should consider public audits to build trust. Players are advised to use browser versions and monitor updates. This report is based on public information and is not an accusation of wrongdoing by CoinPoker.
