What are NFTs?
NFT or non-fungible tokens are digital object’s digital identifiers and are recorded in a blockchain thus they cannot be substituted or copied. Hence, each NFT object is unique. An NFT picture can be reproduced but it is easily defined and will not be the same object. The token proves the originality. NFT, in gaming, is closely related to the model of play to earn.

How do NFTs work?
You can have a look at the history of NFTs to understand how they work. In 2017, CryptoPunks, a collectible digital characters’ series was developed by American studio Larva Labs. For collecting, there were around 10,000 CryptoPunks which were different and unique but the question is how should people be stopped from copying them for selling? For preventing this, blockchain was used by Larva Labs for providing NFT to collectors. These tokens which are cryptographically unique offer proof to the holders that they have a true copy of their particular Crypto Punk. Unlike other fungible tokens including Bitcoin, on the basis of like for like, NFTs cannot get exchanged. Every NFT possesses a unique value which is scarcity-based.

Importance of NFTs in online poker industry
- NFTs prove to be a good fit for video games because of their collectible nature. For example, in Fortnite, for weapons and skins, you can get the NFTs which cannot be owned by anybody.
- Currently, NFTs do not have much to do with online poker as well as online poker tournaments.
- But due to certain reasons, the NFTs interest has seen a great spike in the poker industry.
- The first reason is just bragging rights. The poker players which are wealthy splash out on costly NFTs such as CryptoPunks for showing their money to the world that they are capable of affording to purchase exclusive NFTs. Multiple top poker players of the world happily spend around $500,000 on images of 8-bit profile CryptoPunk and huge money on different NFTs such as Bored Apes.
- Another reason behind the popularity of NFTs is industry focused as individuals as well as companies belonging to the poker industry try to explore ways for using NFTs.
- Poker companies look for ideas like poker trading cards, in-game virtual avatars, trophies, etc which can enhance online poker gaming experience.

How to make money with poker NFTs?
NFT Collection
A collection related to your project can be released by you and being unique, NFTs are collectibles. Thus, their prices can be relatively high. For instance, an NFT collection was released by the World Poker Tour of the best tournament moments. Even a marketplace can be created within your project but just keep in mind players do not find NFT interesting if they are just some piece of content which does not have any effect on the gameplay. So, for gaining maximum success, you need to give your best in doing marketing of creativity.
NFT Avatars
The most obvious as well as simple way of using technology for allowing your players to upload NFT which will act as their user avatars. Having limited runs, an avatar is unique for NFTs. Players feel very special as well as attractive to show everyone their unique avatars thus enhancing user retention and experience. Different throwable objects and emojis can also be NFTs. But NFTs are most commonly images. But the use of technology can be done in various kinds of digital objects. For instance, in the ICE poker metaverse, special NFT items are bought by the players which their avatars can wear and it eventually gives players the access for some special events.
Special events
The encouragement of buying NFTs can also be done by organising different special tournaments or some other events which are only for exact NFT owners. You may allow other players to watch such kind of tournaments for giving them motivation to buy NFTs. Ethernity, the NFT platform, released playing cards images’ collection last year and also made an announcement of the challenge of collection of a royal flush. So, 5 NFTs should be bought by a person for getting it. Each person getting the royal flush got an opportunity of playing poker with the popular Phil Ivey in the same table.
Additional income
NFTs can prove to be more valuable if players' income can be increased directly through them. Here are some ways of providing it:-
- Room’s income percentage
- Higher rakeback
In the first way, NFT ownership is like ownership of a poker room’s share and some percentage is received by the players from the table's income. In the second case, more rakeback is received by the players who own the exact kind of NFT than others.
