Hijack Poker App
Hijack Poker needed a scalable, real-time multiplayer poker platform that could handle thousands of concurrent players while ensuring fair play and secure transactions.
Project Overview
We developed a cutting-edge mobile application with real-time multiplayer capabilities, implementing advanced anti-fraud systems, secure payment processing, and a sophisticated matchmaking algorithm. The platform features live tournaments, social features, and comprehensive analytics.
Key Challenges
- Previous platform crashed during tournaments with 500+ players
- Rampant cheating and bot activity destroying player trust
- Payment processing failures causing $2M+ in annual losses
- No mobile app limiting market reach by 70%
- Lack of social features reducing player retention to <30 days
Our Approach
How we tackled the challenge step by step
Market Research
We analyzed 25+ competing poker platforms, identifying key differentiators and user pain points. Our UX team conducted player interviews and created detailed user personas to guide development.
Architecture Planning
Designed a microservices architecture using WebSocket for real-time communication, ensuring sub-100ms latency for game actions. Implemented horizontal scaling to handle traffic spikes during tournaments.
Security First
Built comprehensive anti-cheating systems using machine learning to detect patterns, collusion, and bot activity. Implemented military-grade encryption for all financial transactions.
Iterative Development
Adopted an agile approach with bi-weekly sprints, releasing beta versions to select player groups for feedback. This allowed us to refine gameplay mechanics and UI based on real user data.
