Release 2026.03 at a glance

Poker 2.0

• New: poker room as a standalone application. Poker 2.0 runs as its own Symfony service next to the casino engine and talks to the casino wallet through a bridge, so a brand can enable poker without changing the casino core. The module ships with 108 database migrations, fixtures for test tables and a command set for cache and migrations.
• New: game engine handlers. 167 handlers grouped by domain: cards and hand evaluation (41), table state (26), tournaments (24), bets (11), player statistics (12), table history (9), cash tables (9), notifications (8), balance (6), time bank (4), chat (4), player settings, blinds, notes, away-from-keyboard handling, winners, banks.
• New: cash tables and tournaments. Cash tables with configurable blinds, buy-in ranges and table settings; tournaments with registration, prize structures, blind levels, rebuys, breaks and prize payout through the bridge; tournament chat separate from table chat.
• New: player experience. Time bank, per-player settings, notes on opponents, away handling, hand history, table history, player statistics (VPIP, 3-bet and other metrics), notifications and sounds.
• New: poker admin section. CRUD screens for tables, table settings, table users and invoices, tournaments, tournament settings, prizes and users, banks, bridges, transactions, winners and notifications, plus a dashboard, logs and date filters; a dedicated admin login.
• New: API. Controllers for balance, bets, cash tables, chat, notes, notifications, player settings, player statistics, tables, table history, table state, tournaments and tournament chat, with a shared base API contract.

Payments

• Improved: ten gateways reviewed against the unified payment interface introduced in release 2026.01: Antrpay, Bova, FreeKassa, GreenApi, NowPayments, Payscrow, Piastrix, Repay, RoundSquare and StreamPay. Callback handling, status mapping and payout flows aligned; 189 changes in total.

API and integrations

• Improved: player API application layer. 215 changes in handlers, requests, responses and validators after the January restructuring.
• Improved: provider integrations. Two game provider integrations updated (70 and 35 changes) and two aggregator bridges aligned; queue (51) and core (40) changes support the new poker bridge.

Engagement modules

• Improved: fortune wheel (28 changes), buff cards (15), tournaments (13), email templates and delivery (12), slots catalogue (15).

Compatibility and upgrade notes

• Poker 2.0 is deployed as a separate service with its own database schema and migrations; the previous poker module remains available for existing brands.
• Enabling poker for a brand requires a bridge record (API key and callback URL) in the admin panel.
