Is SquareUp The Answer To UnderGround Poker Games And Random Poker Blogger Prop Bets?
Monday, May 17, 2010

I came across this really cool, free payment alternative called Square (by SquareUp), available to iPhone and other smartphone users, and it automatically had me thinking:  could this little square plug-in be the answer to underground poker game payments and stupid ass poker blogger prop betting - cash free?


I don't know, i'll let my readers chime in, but it would be pretty damn awesome to stroll into a poker game with ZERO cash in my pocket and be able to buy-in and cash out without ever exchanging one green piece of paper. Sure there is a fee involved, but I'd gladly pay the 3 some odd % to not have a fear of someone crashing down the door trying to send me to county jail.


And how about the random prop bet or home game where you just don't have the cash in your pocket, but want to be good for it right away.  There are so many opportunities with this bad boy and, might I add, again, it's sent to you for free.


So here's the deal.  They send you a little square thing and you can swipe a credit card with it.  They get a 2+% credit for every charge and you get extremely easy payment processing from your phone.  At first I couldn't think of how I, random Trip, could benefit from this, but then I started thinking of my poker blogger brethren and it all started coming together.  I mean, who doesn't want Wawfuls whole bankroll in one quick, slick prop bet paid off via credit or debit card?!


Until next time, may the felt be with you.

I ordered mine, but they are backlogged for a few weeks since they just came out of Beta. It's the same folks who came up with Twitter, BTW. I think it's a fantastic idea and will be the first step to a cashless economy.

Awesome little gadget. Frightening though for someone like me with zero self-control...
