New to rakeback? Here's what this means for you

You're already paying a small fee (called rake) every hand you play, whether you notice it or not. Signing up through the link below gets a portion of that paid back to you — same games, same odds, just less left on the table. Read the full explainer →

Poker21 Plus is a club-based mobile app in the same family as PPPoker and X-Poker: private clubs grouped into unions, chips whose value is set by the club, and an agent who handles every deposit and cashout. The app itself launched in late 2021 and is widely described as a re-skin of the old Hero Poker engine, with blackjack, Seka and Durak tables alongside the poker — a giveaway that its home market is the CIS.

That's also where the value is. Most players are from Russia and the surrounding countries, with a smaller European and Asian contingent, and the clubs lean recreational. The lobby covers No-Limit Hold'em, four-, five- and six-card PLO and Open-Face Chinese, plus club tournaments, hand chases and bad-beat jackpots. Stakes in the active clubs run from micro up to around $5/$10.

It is phone-only by design: there is no PC client, and the app actively blocks emulators and VPNs. Security is handled per club through device binding, multi-account detection and behavioural checks, with a GLI-certified RNG behind the deals. External HUDs and trackers are prohibited. As with every club app, your bankroll is only as safe as your agent — which is exactly where I come in.

Deposits & Withdrawals

  • ✓ No built-in cashier — all deposits and withdrawals go through your agent, usually in crypto or local methods
  • ✓ Chip value is set per club; confirm the rate before you buy in
  • ✓ Payouts are settled by the agent, typically within a day

Rake & Rakeback

  • ✓ Rake is set by each club rather than published centrally — expect PPPoker-style levels of roughly 5% with a cap
  • ✓ Rakeback is paid weekly by the agent, every Monday in most unions
★ + Additional VIP rakeback from TableFinder — on top of this room's own program, players who sign up through me get extra negotiated rakeback that isn't available by registering directly.

Promotions

  • ✓ Club-run tournament tickets, hand chases and bad-beat jackpots
  • ✓ No central welcome bonus — promotions vary by club and union

Support

  • ✓ First line of support is your club manager or agent
  • ✓ iOS and Android apps only; emulators and VPNs are blocked
  • ✓ Interface in English and Russian
