Shove.bet is not a credit game. Players use funded, player-controlled USDT balances, with deposits and cashouts handled through the platform. Agents and hosts can help organize games without being the source of credit behind a player’s balance.
Shove.Bet Explained Simply
This is how the Shove.bet platform works in practice and what makes it different:
Finding a game. Pick your variant and stakes, then proceed into matchmaking. Shove aggregates tables into pools based on these criteria, so you can find the action you want without searching through individual tables. It is quickly and efficient.
Games and variants. Alongside NLHE and PLO4 cash games, Shove offers Bomb Pots and three Squid variants: Classic Squid, Hunt, and Double. PLO5, PLO6 and fast-fold variants for NLHE and PLO are also incoming, expanding the range of games available through the platform.
Software and multi-tabling. Shove runs directly in your browser on mobile and computer, with no client download required. Extensive Progressive Web App (PWA) support lets you add it to your home screen for an app-like experience. Multi-tabling lets you play different variants and stakes at the same time. The software is stable, without crashes, and gameplay is quick and fluent on both PC and mobile devices
Shove.Bet Rakeback
Shove offers generous rakeback for players. You can track rewards and claimable amounts in your account.
| Player tier | Rolling 30d volume | Global rakeback cap |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | < 200 | 40% |
| 1 | 200 | 45% |
| 2 | 1,000 | 50% |
| 3 | 5,000 | 55% |
| 4 | 15,000 | 60% |
| 5 | 30,000 | 65% |
| 6 | >= 60,000 | 70% |
Deposits and withdrawals
Stakes and playing balances are in USDT. Shove offers instant processing for USDT deposits and withdrawals on Arbitrum.
Fiat and cross-chain deposits are handled through Privy. Supported fiat currencies include AUD, USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, TWD, HKD, KRW and THB. Availability of all listed fiat currencies is subject to jurisdiction.
Fairness and game security
Shove offers deck verification on supported tables. IP, GPS, and device checks work alongside internal systems to flag suspicious play. Clubs can also choose to require KYC identity verification for their members. For the poker and crypto nerds, here is how the magic is happening, according to Shove.bet team.
Beginning with a validated deck:
- A hidden shuffle value was committed by the provider prior to anyone knowing what cards are in the deck.
- The flow of the on-chain transaction will supply a public random number (nonce) used specifically for that hand.
- Those two pieces of information uniquely define the shuffle for that hand.
- Once the provider has provided both the deck data and evidence of how it was shuffled, they submit them to the smart contract.
- Before accepting the deck as valid, the smart contract verifies the submitted evidence.
To summarize what the validation process checks to confirm that the shuffle actually occurred as described above and was performed on behalf of that specific hand:
- That the actual shuffle was indeed generated from the previously made and now revealed hidden shuffle commitment made by the provider at an earlier time.
- That the proof is directly associated with that one hand in question versus another hand.
- That the deck being accepted by the table complies with the established rules as defined during the shuffle.
- And if these three factors do not match then the table will reject the proposed deck.
Doubling Down on Table Security
If one thing Shove.bet is trying to do differently, is the security aspect of the games. With all the latest online poker cheating scandals, they are aiming to resolve this exact pain point.
Smarter Security for Guarded Tables Guarded tables check player location, network, and device data to ensure safer table joins and assist hosts with security reviews.
Key Features
- Targeted data collection: Gathers only the security signals enabled for that specific table, such as general GPS location, network info, and device details.
- Automatic screening: The server can approve, flag, or block table joins and player actions.
- Private host insights: Shows basic warning indicators to the public table while keeping detailed review data private for the host.
- Host controls: Authorized hosts can refresh security checks or apply a temporary on-chain block.
Practical Protection & Privacy These checks help clubs spot suspicious overlap between players during joins and gameplay. They are built to assist—not replace—a host’s judgment. Hosts can use public seat flags alongside their own review process, while sensitive details like exact GPS, IP addresses, linked wallets, and host decisions stay completely private.
How It Works
- The app checks the table’s active security settings.
- It collects only the required device and network data and sends it to the server.
- The server responds with a temporary security token or decision.
- That token is attached to the player’s join request or table action to verify it.
- If a host submits a block, the player isn’t kicked mid-play—the table waits for a safe point in the game flow to complete the removal.
