WEB · 5 NOVEMBER 2026

A more connected Gala.

The current web release is 0.8.97. The refreshed lounge and Explore directory connect to clearer account, social, records and game pages.

Brighter turn clocks and optional turn vibration remain part of the supported game experience; device support differs. This is a web/server release, not a new Android publication.

Accounts, balances and earned progress are preserved. Shared Spades/Blackjack room activation and purchases are not enabled by this update.

Earlier release · 0.8.92-beta

Your story.
Your people. Connected.

Keep your next objective in sight, your earned progress saved and your league plans together.

Pick up your story

Campaign journals and World navigation connect confirmed results to the next objective. Existing victories and reward history stay yours; available beta journeys keep their current eligibility.

A place worth building

Saved home layouts, earned upgrades and league projects recover interrupted replies and protect drafts when progress changes. Recovery does not repeat an ownership operation.

Gifts with clearer answers

Account-scoped receipts can confirm a failed send and safely release its original slot. Profile recovery takes you to Gifts, with no automatic resend or duplicate charge.

Make your next league night

Versioned house rules, private availability, one linked night and explicit RSVPs keep plans clear. Rescheduling asks members to reconfirm. Friends, home and Calendar controls have clearer WebKit presentation.

Your history stays yours

Accounts, balances, memberships, earned items, Atlas and every bot history stay intact. Original Hold’em, Omaha and eight-seat table layouts are preserved. Payments and recording remain disabled; no reset, new funding or funded public-game activation.

Historical release · 0.8.91-beta

Your progress.
Back in reach.

Find your people, collect what you earned and return to the game with clearer next steps.

A seat with your people

Friends invitations recheck expired or full tables. Return to your held seat without another join or charge, with clearer explanations when a destination changes.

Earned means saved

Interrupted daily claims retain their original day and receipt. Confirmed rewards lead directly to the proper Collection album or next milestone; recovery never automatically repeats a claim.

A lighter first visit

Daily quest presentation loads when needed, with explicit recovery when an optional download or stylesheet is unavailable. Account and focus protections keep navigation under your control.

Every game belongs

Spades and Blackjack include the reviewed layout and navigation improvements after the previous release. Existing Hold’em, Omaha and eight-seat table layouts are preserved. Media, funding and table eligibility requirements still apply.

Your history stays yours

Accounts, balances, earned items, memberships, Atlas and every bot history stay intact. Payments and recording remain disabled. No reset or new funding is announced.

Historical release · 0.8.90-beta

Your next move.
Connected.

Clearer rewards, a Companion for your story and table details with room to breathe.

Follow the next goal

Rewards, trophies and collections explain your next step. Confirmed results and recovery keep uncertain actions from being treated as completed claims.

Continue with a Companion

Complete the opening three-episode story to meet your starter Companion, then continue through the Workshop. Existing campaign victories, Companions and reward history stay yours.

A table that feels connected

Larger Spades cards and a half-round Blackjack table give each game its own feel. Refined gift arrivals respect faces and controls. Effects follow motion and conservation settings.

Your choices stay yours

Stronger account-switch and save recovery across collections, profile customization and settings. Payments and recording remain disabled. No reset, new funding allocation or change to reward amounts.

Find your table

A cleaner lounge brings Hold’em, Omaha, Spades and Blackjack together with clear game choices and a visible return to your held table. Availability follows existing access rules.

Connected journeys

Clearer invitation, collection and activity results, stronger account-switch safeguards and connected owner tools keep each next step understandable.

Care behind the scenes

The same licensed fonts now load from PokerGala, alongside updated runtime parsing dependencies. Your balances, earned progress, Atlas and all bot histories stay intact. Payments and recording remain disabled.

Your style.
Your people. Your table.

A clearer path to your earned look, more reliable gifts and personal control over table effects.

Find your next look

Explore styles, view your wardrobe and follow earning paths. Ownership and equipped labels make each choice clearer.

A gift that lands clearly

Quick picks, a reachable Send area and confirmed results make gifting easier. Personal profile controls can hide a sender’s gift effects for your sign-in without changing gift delivery.

Stay connected

Clearer friend-request actions and foreground availability updates. Your balances, earned items and bot histories remain intact; payments and recording remain disabled.

A familiar face.
A little more alive.

Iris brings six natural animated reactions to her table portrait, with clearer playback recovery.

Iris at your table

Subtle idle movement, thoughtful card glances and reactions to raising, folding, winning and losing. Generated characters retain their BOT labels.

Motion that knows when to rest

Portraits respect reduced motion, background and conservation settings. A bounded MP4 fallback improves recovery when a browser advertises a format it cannot play reliably.

Your history stays yours

Atlas, every bot career, balances, memberships and earned items are preserved. Payments and recording remain disabled. No reset or new funding allocation.

Open PokerGala ↗

Historical release · 0.8.86-beta

Your next step.
A more connected Gala.

Clearer journeys between the table, your friends, your league and the world you are building.

Stay connected

Game-aware invitations, friend navigation and direct reward goals make the next destination clearer. Public-game availability continues to follow the server’s access and funding controls.

Your tournament seat

Registration has a clear waiting journey. When your event and assigned seat are confirmed, the table opens without a second Join. Browsing never pauses the server’s clock.

Make it yours

Clearer collections, earning routes, trophy goals and outfit tools preserve your choices and explain confirmed results.

Stories and Companions

A more cinematic campaign opening, remembered choices and clearer continuation connect to improved World navigation and Companion save recovery. Existing access requirements remain in place.

Your history stays yours

Accounts, balances, memberships, earned items, Atlas and all bot histories are preserved. Payments and recording remain disabled. No reset or new funding allocation.

Your contribution.
Your story at the Gala.

Catch up quickly, celebrate what you earned and make your profile your own.

Contributions, recognized

A private thank-you lists newly recognized beta awards. Permanent distinctions are separate from chips, skill and permissions.

A showcase you choose

Find earned trophies, next goals, longer journeys and team recognition. Preview and reorder three profile trophies, then save when it looks right.

Your quick Gala briefing

Gala News connects published updates, messages, friends, league activity, achievements and events.

Room for the table

Clearer compact headings and finite winner spotlights keep the game visible; Review retains the result. Hidden optional effects rest and camera preview avoids unnecessary frames. Beta device testing continues.

Your history stays yours

Accounts, balances, earned progress, Atlas and every bot history stay intact. Payments and recording remain disabled. No reset, new currency issuance or reserve activation.

A place at the Conservatory.
A hand at the Salon.

Original room artwork and clearer decisions bring Spades and Blackjack closer to the connected Gala.

Partnership Spades

The Conservatory frames clear team contracts, Nil guidance and saved-seat navigation. Your goals and the opponents’ goals are distinctly labelled.

The Twenty-One Salon

Readable round progress, an action guide and an explicit additional-stake review before Double. Rules and settlement remain authoritative.

Quieter table updates

Stable camera sweeps avoid unrelated full-table broadcasts. Camera enforcement and session checks stay active. Atlas retains the original animated portrait and existing history.

Your progress stays yours

Payments and recording remain disabled. No reset, new chip issuance or reserve activation. Public wallet-funded card-room admission and provider capacity remain separately gated.

Historical release · 0.8.72-beta

More ways to begin.
One place to find them.

Daily Rewards brings the daily welcome, free Golden Turn and free Plinko together, with account-wide claim status and clear availability times.

Your free daily choices

The seven-day daily welcome schedule runs from 50K to 250K play chips. Any active, separately announced beta schedule is shown in-game. Claimed rewards keep their original amount; this update does not reset earlier claims.

A stronger Golden Drop

Five free Plinko drops per UTC day now award 100K–1M virtual chips each. View the published odds before playing. Daily Rewards keeps your remaining drops visible.

Your daily Golden Turn

One free wheel claim per account every 24 hours, with 100K–1M chip outcomes. Its next available time follows your last successful claim, across devices and entry points. No paid spins, no XP for spinning and no extra spin when you run out of chips.

Practice with clear progress

Eligible completed private Spades hands can earn 10 XP for up to five hands per UTC day; qualifying Blackjack practice rounds can earn 2 XP for up to ten rounds. Active participation is required. Wager size and wins do not increase these awards. Practice credits remain separate from your wallet.

Learning that stays with you

Academy lesson completions now save to your account, so you can continue on another device. Existing supported local lesson records can be imported. Academy learning creates no chip or XP awards.

Your Gala stays yours

Accounts, balances, league memberships and earned items stay. Payments and checkout remain disabled. Public wallet-funded Spades and Blackjack are not part of this release.

Open the Lounge, then Daily Rewards ↗

Historical release · 0.8.47

More life in the lounge.
More clarity at the table.

Historical announcement from October 17, 2026: 0.8.47 brought presentation work together with clearer queued actions. Its separately announced economy refresh does not describe your current balance or progress.

The Living Lounge

Poker, Rivals, rewards, events, personal style and the Gazette meet in one connected room. Prefer the familiar setting? The Classic Lounge remains available. Return to your seat and find camera and microphone controls while browsing.

A room with a view

Heritage artwork and panoramic social-table rooms frame the harbor around the seats. Boats, distant traffic and city lights stay within the windows. Quiet effects, reduced motion and low-data settings keep a calm, static alternative close.

Follow the chips

Illustrated chip piles reflect confirmed bets and each contributor’s equipped chip style. Matching placement, collection and winner effects carry the moment through the hand. These are cosmetic changes; the piles do not create chips or change card outcomes.

Clearly your move

Before your turn, Fold, Check and Call explicitly say “Queue.” Quick taps check the visible hand, turn and price against the confirmed table. If the turn changes while a queued choice is travelling, refresh and choose again.

A connected way around

Grouped All Pages navigation, clearer table status, compact chip values and responsive button feedback help you move between the Lounge and your game. Reconnecting restores confirmed state without replaying old chip effects.

A private account email

The update adds a place to save a private account email without merging accounts. Saving an address is separate from verifying it: verification delivery and email distribution are not enabled by this release.

Connected-beta work · 0.8.42

Your look. Your people.
Your kind of evening.

These additions were deployed during the closure period. Their availability in a build is not confirmation of a completed public playtest or that every player has seen them.

A look to return to

Save outfits, preview a whole table privately and discover chat bubble styles, collection editions and earned club insignias. Previewing a locked item does not grant ownership; applying a look checks what you own.

Club ranks are earned through play. They are separate from any future paid membership.

Make a night of it

Game Time connects server UTC with your local time. Suggested slots help league hosts and friends plan a night together. Hosts review a draft; suggestions do not automatically send invitations, create events or reserve seats.

Optional activity sharing stays a choice.

One connected catalogue

Search looks, rewards and editions, with clear ownership and earning information. Preserved return navigation connects the Store, Rewards and the Gazette. Gazette notices bring owner-published updates into the Lounge and table.

Premium checkout remains disabled.

Progression & economy · included in 0.8.44 code

More to earn.
A foundation to grow on.

The progressive XP curve and funded-collection rules were already part of the earlier beta code. The historical 0.8.47 release paired them with a separately approved economy refresh. Neither that refresh nor a new opening balance is part of 0.8.72.

Progress with purpose

A harder long-term XP journey sits alongside daily and weekly missions, permanent milestones and hand trophies. Weekly goals reward sessions, different play days, exploring tables and playing with friends. Eligible claims award XP and earned cosmetics; unlocks do not auto-equip.

Collections with a source

Collection editions, rarities and earning requirements make the next discovery easier to understand. Album chip claims use a finite treasury and require funding; an eligible reward is not a promise of newly generated chips.

Gift fees and eligible chip-store spending divide between removal from circulation and the community reserve.

Funded, not assumed

Community events use funded pools. The approved finite opening allocation now supports the refreshed economy, with operating limits and protected liquidity. A configured event or allowance is not a promise of an unlimited or automatically funded prize.

Earlier beta releases · part of the wider Gala

One table is
only the beginning.

These experiences came from earlier beta releases. They are not all new in 0.8.47. Public beta play is now open, subject to sign-in, eligibility, capacity and current service status.

Find your game

Six-seat No-Limit Texas Hold’em and four-card Pot-Limit Omaha, plus private tables and camera-free solo practice. Twelve poker Rivals add challenges away from the public seats.

A tournament evening

Free-entry Gala Showdown and scheduled tournaments use reserve-funded prizes. Friends, private invitations and leagues help bring a room together. Tournament availability depends on its queue, schedule and funding.

The Golden Drop

The earlier Golden Drop launched with five free drops per day and a seven-day daily welcome cycle. See the latest-release section above for current reward amounts. All rewards are virtual chips, with no cash prizes or redemption.

Next Deal Bingo

An optional card-prediction activity after folding or between hands at qualifying high-stakes Hold’em tables. Cost, odds and payouts are shown before confirmation; a dedicated funded pool backs payouts. It is unavailable during your live hand, in Omaha or in tournaments.

Collect, trade, remember

Collection rarities, duplicate-card swaps and a player-priced play-chip marketplace give collections another chapter. Private hand history, sessions and profile trophies keep the moments and progress you choose to revisit close.

Bring your people

Table cameras and independent player voice, friends, private messages, gifts and reactions make company part of the game. Personal style, camera frames, card backs and earned titles give your profile its own character.

Still ahead · not activated by this update

A little anticipation.
A clear distinction.

Payments & paid membership

Payment groundwork and premium catalogue previews are built behind disabled controls. No real-money checkout or premium spending is enabled. Paid VIP membership remains future planning; the earned club is a separate system.

The Companion Salon

Companion groundwork is restricted to controlled internal testing. A public Salon, complete presentation and paid companions are not available. Installing this update does not unlock a companion.

Translation & recording

Translation remains future work. Recording has an isolated, inactive foundation, without an active capture service. Neither is an active player feature or switched on by this release.

Chapter 1 finale · Chapter 2 coming later

The next evening
deserves a proper welcome.

Public beta play is open. Existing players keep their accounts and sign-in; new players can register. Read the completed economy-refresh notice above, then meet your people in the Lounge. Camera permissions, eligible access and available seats still apply.

Check access & sign in

Adult social poker beta. Virtual chips only; no cash prizes or cash redemption. Payments remain disabled. Google Play publication is pending.

More tables. A connected story.

Explore saved partnership Spades and three-seat Blackjack practice rooms with friends or clearly labelled bots. Practice credits stay separate from your wallet. Clear turn clocks, table chat and reporting keep each room connected. Second Deal now resumes the saved story and carries you onward after an encounter. New card-room cameras are awaiting acceptance; existing poker video remains available. Payments remain disabled. No reset.
