iPoker launches All-in or Fold, embracing fast-paced poker format
The iPoker Network has become the latest major online poker platform to introduce the popular All-in or Fold format, with the simplified cash game now rolling out across its operator network.
The new game went live on Monday, initially launching with No Limit Hold’em and Pot Limit Omaha tables at three stake levels: €0.01/€0.02, €0.05/€0.10 and €0.10/€0.25.
Unlike traditional cash games, All-in or Fold strips poker back to its most basic decision. Players have just two options before the flop – move all-in or fold – with no post-flop betting or intermediate raises. The format is designed to dramatically increase the number of hands played while offering a simpler, faster experience aimed at recreational players.
The initial rollout features four-handed tables with buy-ins ranging from eight to 32 big blinds, a fixed 5% rake with no cap and a 10-second time bank for every decision. iPoker said additional stake levels and tables will be introduced gradually as the format expands across the network.
The introduction marks another step in the industry’s shift towards faster, more accessible online poker products that reduce complex decision-making and shorten playing sessions.
One notable feature of iPoker’s version is the flexible buy-in structure. While many competing All-in or Fold games use fixed stack sizes, iPoker allows players to buy in for between eight and 32 big blinds, creating greater variety in stack depths and strategy.
The network has also opted to launch both Hold’em and Omaha variants simultaneously, giving players access to the format across two of online poker’s most popular cash game disciplines.
Although new to iPoker, All-in or Fold has been around for several years.
The format first gained widespread popularity on the GGPoker network, where it became one of the operator’s signature recreational poker products. Players embraced the game’s rapid-fire action, while GGPoker later expanded the offering with jackpots, side bets and dedicated tournaments built around the format.
Other operators have since followed suit. KKPoker introduced its own All-in or Fold tables, while PokerStars launched a similar product, All-In Poker, as part of its ongoing push to diversify its cash game offering.
By adding the format to its own network, iPoker joins a growing list of major online poker platforms embracing simplified, mobile-friendly games designed to appeal to newer and more casual players, while offering experienced grinders another high-volume format to add to their rotation.
