We at Third Bullet Poker are committed to honest play and the security of your money and privacy. We are licensed and regulated by the Government of Curacao, Dutch Antilles. We operate under Curacao’s leading, regulated and proven Gaming Licensing & Hosting Provider, Cyberluck.

Third Bullet’s founders are avid students of the game and have forged strong reputations for integrity and skill by players in the underground card rooms of major metropolitan cities worldwide, as well as among the regular pros in brick and mortar casinos.

Most importantly, we are devoted to our players. We strive to foster a community of loyal poker players and are committed to making every effort to ensure a fair, enjoyable play experience, including 24/7 customer support. Inquiries are answered promptly, and often in less than ten (10) minutes.

Third Bullet uses a high-level security system endorsed by the major international gaming authorities. We protect your money by using one of the industry’s most established financial networks to process and manage your deposits. Third Bullet keeps all deposits in a segregated account held in trust for our players. This ensures that your money is secure and that you are paid promptly and reliably. Moreover, we partner only with payment processing providers who meet our exacting standards of honesty, reliability and excellence.

Third Bullet is committed to maintaining the confidentiality of all your information. We do not sell your personal information to advertisers or any outside party. We encrypt all communications between our servers and your computer. Moreover, we do not store your full credit card number. Rather, we merely pass it independent, certified and industry-endorsed payment processing companies to handle your transactions.

Finally, we employ redundant audit mechanisms. A separate machine reads all critical account and transaction information at every critical event to ensure all transactions are balanced. A leading accounting firm also regularly audits all player accounts.

Credit card transactions are processed by Veneelco Ltd., Eagle Star House, CY PO 3030, Theklas Lysiota 35, Cyprus.

Random Number Generator / Shuffle

Creating a fair and quality gaming experience for our players is our highest priority. Third Bullet has investigated many systems and algorithms before deciding on implementation of what we believe is a superior solution for a Random Number Generator (“RNG”).

Third Bullet uses the cryptographically-secure RNG system found in Microsoft’s CryptoAPI. "Cryptographically secure" means that the RNG is so random that even a large amount of computer analysis cannot predict or detect patterns in the output, a fact that has been validated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

Microsoft’s CryptoAPI RNG complies with Federal Information Processing Standard 186-2 appendix 3.1, using SHA-1 as the G function. It has been validated by the NIST’s Cryptographic Module Validation Program. Details on this may be found at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/archive/security/topics/issues/fipseval.mspx.

Security

To combat collusion, Third Bullet employs numerous preventative security measures, including random security checks and log-file reviews. Our analysis incorporates automatic tracking of betting patterns related to the strength of a player's hand and referencing that against other players’ actions at the same table to determine if they may be working together. Sophisticated algorithms are employed to identify, track and uncover collusion help to ensure the integrity of our system and fairness at our tables.

Our Security Team will promptly and thoroughly investigate all complaints registered by players suspecting questionable practices or collusion. Any player found to be participating in collusion or deceptive practices will have their account immediately closed and will be permanently banned from our games.
