GGPoker has launched Escrow Trade, an integrated peer-to-peer marketplace within the Cashier. The zero-fee feature allows secure trading of cash, C$, T$, and tournament tickets through an escrow process, offering dispute resolution to mitigate informal trading risks.

Trading poker assets between players has long been part of the game. Whether an individual wins a tournament seat they cannot use or holds tickets they no longer need, peer-to-peer exchanges have remained a common practice across the poker community.

While the demand for these transactions has always existed, a secure and structured system to support them has often been missing. To address this need, GGPoker has introduced Escrow Trade, a feature designed to provide a safer way for players to buy and sell poker assets.

For many years, poker players have arranged trades through forums, Discord servers, and social media platforms. These transactions have largely relied on trust between individuals. However, informal peer-to-peer trading comes with risks.

If one party fails to complete the transaction, there is no built-in protection, no formal recovery process, and no reliable way to verify the identity of the person involved.

According to the information provided, players have lost funds, chips, and tournament entries through these unofficial arrangements, with many accepting the risks as part of trading outside official platforms.

Escrow Trade is a peer-to-peer trading feature integrated directly into the GGPoker Cashier. The system allows players to buy and sell poker assets, including cash, C$, T$, and tournament tickets.

The feature operates through an escrow process that securely holds the assets until both participants confirm that the trade has been completed. The structure is designed so that neither side can exit the transaction until the agreed conditions have been met.

The trading process begins when a seller lists an asset in the Escrow Trade marketplace. A buyer can then review the terms and use the Trade Chat to confirm the details of the transaction. Once the escrow process starts, the asset is locked.

The buyer sends payment and marks it as completed. The seller then confirms receipt before the asset is released. If a dispute occurs, both parties can submit evidence for review and resolution.

According to the provided information, GGPoker did not create a new type of activity but instead built an official framework around a practice that was already taking place within the poker community.

The feature is intended to move player-to-player trading into a more structured environment with built-in safeguards. The information also states that Escrow Trade is offered without fees, charges, or additional costs.
