Why do I need to play through the Cardium app?

The Cardium app is part of our fair play system. Here is why the desktop experience matters for consistent playing conditions.

Fair competition at the table

Poker involves decisions, experience, and luck. Every player should be able to compete under the same rules, without opponents gaining an unfair advantage. That is why we use our own proprietary algorithms to help support fair play.

To enable the full functionality of this protection, you need to download our app and play through it. The app is part of our fair play system: it allows us to carry out checks that a standard web page cannot fully support.

Why can’t you simply play on the website? Browsers limit how websites interact with your device. These restrictions help protect people while browsing, but they also prevent us from implementing certain parts of our protection system. The installed app provides the capabilities those features need.

For you as a player, this means an additional layer of protection for fair competition at the table. Playing through the app helps us apply our safeguards across all participants and maintain consistent playing conditions.

By downloading the app, you join a playing environment where technology helps protect what matters: fair competition and respect for the rules of poker.
