# Zylo Poker (coming soon)

Zylo Poker is an online poker product integrated into the Zylo ecosystem.

The poker room operates on a dedicated platform, while the Zylo ecosystem provides access, loyalty, and participation mechanics that exist outside the poker gameplay itself.

### Product architecture

Zylo Poker is a standalone poker platform built on established poker infrastructure.

* All gameplay, tables, tournaments, and balances are handled on the poker platform
* Ecosystem mechanics are handled separately within Zylo

This separation allows Zylo Poker to remain a full-featured, familiar poker room while enabling ecosystem-level extensions.

### Zylo ecosystem integration

Zylo Poker is connected to the ecosystem through a unified Zylo account.

The ecosystem layer enables:

* access conditions for selected programs,
* loyalty and VIP mechanics,
* participation in ecosystem-level activities.

Poker gameplay and ecosystem mechanics do not interfere with each other.

### Token utility

The Zylo token is optional and is **not required** to play poker.

Token usage applies only at the ecosystem level and may include:

* access to selected tournaments,
* improved rakeback conditions,
* VIP and loyalty benefits.

Players can fully use Zylo Poker without interacting with the token.
