Alligator Blood is a social network and directory built specifically for poker. One place where every player, creator, cardroom, podcast, coaching site, tool, and business in the poker world can be found, followed, and connected.
Right now the poker world is completely fragmented. Players are scattered across X, Instagram, YouTube, Discord, forums, and group chats. Creators are impossible to discover unless you already follow them. Cardrooms rely on word of mouth. Coaching businesses, staking groups, and poker tools are all building audiences separately on every platform just to get noticed.
There’s no connected home. No central directory. No way for a fan to walk in and understand the poker ecosystem, and no way for a small poker business to get discovered without grinding content on five different platforms.
We’re changing that.
Alligator Blood gives every person in poker a profile and every business a page. Players, creators, pros, game runners, venues, podcasts, streams, training sites, all searchable, all connected, all in one place. For small poker businesses, the directory acts as a built-in discovery funnel. Instead of fighting algorithms on Instagram or hoping someone stumbles onto your site, you get a claimable page inside the place where the poker community already lives. Cardrooms, coaches, content creators, tournament operators, tools. If you’re part of poker, people can find you here.
Short term, think poker’s IMDB. Every profile is a poker-native Linktree. Long term, poker’s Facebook.
Our founder @joshluber has done this before. He built StockX (sneakers) and Fanatics Collectibles (trading cards) into multi-billion dollar companies by organizing passionate, fragmented communities and giving them real infrastructure. Poker is the same play. Massive community, zero connective tissue. Until now.
Our Steering Committee:
@phil_hellmuth@Mister_Keating@DougPolkVids@TheGrinder44@harrington25@JeffGrossPoker@xxl23@TheRyanFeldman@coreyeyring
@KevinRobMartin
All investors. All advisors. All building this together.
Now here’s how you win money right now.
When you sign up and invite a friend, you both get dealt into a FLIP. It’s a free PLO-style poker hand. 4 hole cards each, 5 community cards on the board, best valid PLO hand wins.
Every FLIP earns you Gator Chips. You get chips whether you win, lose, or chop. Hit a full house, quads, a straight flush, or a royal and you earn bonus chips on top.
Your Gator Chips put you on the weekly leaderboard. Top of the board wins real cash prizes every single week. More invites means more FLIPs, more chips, and more chances to win.
No purchase necessary. No gambling. No catch.
Over $100,000 in total prizes across weekly leaderboards, community milestones, and more.
Sign up. Invite your friends. Play your first FLIP. Stack chips. Win money.

I’ve been tweeting this $zzz token since day 1 to the highs and to the lowest points, I’ll tell you right now once these grants come and RH ecosystem will go higher and you will cope hard on everything with strong ROI and agentic setups.
Just almost doubled my $zzz bag
Thesis hasn’t changed. Betting on a legendary dev and a product that is not even close from being completed, but misunderstood by the large majority.
Happy to buy the FUD here.

Who did we forget?
The crypto industry provides every opportunity to make insane riches but you have to dodge 100 different land mines constantly.
From fake podcasts to ledger breaches to going on the wrong website, we’re under attack more than a caveman living in the jungle.
$zzz is establishing a holder base that actually cares about what is being built vs the former which was a bunch of swing traders trying to get a quick profit.
Nothing wrong with the former, more profitable in this case, but the current is far better for the coins success.
I will be on the success of $ZZZ for as long as @ExponentLabs_ remains involved
We are talking about one of a handful of devs with a proven history of believing in fair launches and seeing ideas through beyond the first wave of hype
I'm looking for sideways accumulation
