Start by identifying which system owns identity, player eligibility, funds and hand history. A shared login does not establish that every record or restriction is shared.
Map the financial journey into and out of poker
Specify whether poker uses the main balance or a transferred sub-balance. Define how funds become available for a table or tournament and how remaining funds or awards return to the account.
For each movement, keep the account, game or tournament and transaction identifiers. Agree what happens when entry is accepted but the response is lost, or when the player leaves while a financial event remains pending.
Decide who can investigate a hand
| Record or decision | Owner to establish |
|---|---|
| Account status | Source of verification, limits and restrictions |
| Seating and tournament entry | Service that confirms accepted participation |
| Hand history | System that preserves the game record and permitted access |
| Financial correction | Party authorized to approve and apply the adjustment |
| Cross-network dispute | Team with access to the necessary pool-wide evidence |
Support needs to trace a player's complaint to the relevant records. A network may hold evidence that the operator cannot access directly; define escalation and the response provided to your team.
Test the transitions that can strand funds
Demonstrate entry, exit, disconnection and reconnection. Include a repeated transfer request, canceled tournament and prize adjustment. Reconcile the player account with the poker supplier's records after each case.
Apply an account restriction while a session exists and verify the behavior required by the agreed rules. Confirm how active hands or tournaments are handled without assuming that every restriction has the same immediate effect.
Scope release and ongoing maintenance
Agree interface versions, supplier changes, monitoring and incident ownership. Include the reports needed to identify pending transfers and unresolved rounds or entries after an outage.
Send your current account and wallet design, selected poker supplier and operating markets. Name the balance and support behaviors that must remain consistent after integration.
