The client wanted to launch a visually appealing, fast, and secure poker app that could handle high concurrent traffic while providing a fair and engaging user experience. They needed a solution with real-time multiplayer support, anti-cheating mechanisms, and easy platform payment integration.
Despite having a solid business plan and strong marketing support, the client lacked the in-house technical expertise to build a cross-platform game.

Business Results
The poker app launch was a resounding success, exceeding the client’s initial projections across all KPIs. Within the first 4 months, the app garnered over 20000 downloads, with a significant portion coming from organic traffic and influencer-driven campaigns. In-app purchases saw a 3x increase compared to industry benchmarks, driven by a combination of smooth payment flows, addictive gameplay, and gamified reward systems. Thanks to the backend infrastructure and real-time multiplayer engine, the app achieved 99.98% uptime, even during peak tournament times when thousands of players were online simultaneously.
Player engagement metrics were equally impressive: 65% of new users returned within the first week, indicating strong product-market fit and user satisfaction. Moreover, the client was able to expand operations to two additional markets — Canada and Australia — and raised a new round of funding to further scale their platform.
