Pokernex is one of the many new platforms, who seek the follow the success of the private online poker game sector.
We were skeptical to try this Asian poker app at first, because at first glance, it does not look to add anything new and innovative to the table.
However after a few hours of exploring the platform’s features, we were impressed by the sheer variety of ways to have fun. Today we will give a brief overview, of what you can expect from Pokernex.

RNG and Security
Pokernex is a platform which has a RNG certificate issued by BMM labs. However, It is still an young platform and it does not have a dedicated security team to monitor the games. It is a huge downside, especially considering that there are many other poker apps, with very professional teams, monitoring the integrity of the games 24/7.
Software and Interface
The app, has the typical Asian platform look – bright colors and cartoonish graphics. It has built-in Agent panel, so that affiliates will easily track the statistics of players they invite.
The software is easy to navigate, especially for those familiar with similar club-based poker apps. Tables have the traditional vertical look, for mobile platforms. The club lobby interface is not the cleanest and it takes time to get used to it. Sadly it is also non-customizable.
The statistics of opponents are locked for regular users, if you wish to unlock helpful stats like VPIP%, C-Bet% and many others, you are required to purchase VIP cards, from the in-game store. Again nothing new here, for those familiar with other identical poker apps.
Game Types and Stakes
In the private clubs on the application, hosts can have tables from the tiniest micro limits up to the highest possible blinds. As most poker app veterans know, currency per chip in each club is different too.
Where Pokernex shines is in its variety of game types.
Traditional Poker Variants
The platform gives opportunity for everyone who enjoys the good old NLH and Omaha tables. Since the target audience is mainly the Asian players, however, you will find also many Chinese Poker (OFC), Taiwan Poker and AoF tables. Chinese and Korean players love those, luckily everyone else from all over the world is invited to test himself against the doyens of these formats.
Other type of Betting Games
The platform gives the opportunity also to enjoy a very unusual for poker app games, such as:
Black Jack
The most popular casino game on the planet is available in the private club we offer to our players.
Master vs Shark

Mau Binh

Lucky 6

Final Verdict
Pokernex is a platform, which is basically an exact copy of already existing successful applications like PPPoker, ClubGG, PokerBros, X-Poker and few others. It is lacking behind them in many aspects, but also has 2 very key strengths, which might just give the platform a chance to grab a niche audience:
| Pros + | Cons – |
|---|---|
| + Some Weak Asian Players | – Almost exact copycat of other platforms |
| + Many Interesting Formats | – No Security Team |
| + Betting Games | – No PC Version |
