The software development company aims to provide an in-person feel to online poker.

Saritasa is a software development and technology company that is credited with launching VersusPoker, a private-game online poker platform, a site that provides an in-person experience to online players. 

Versus Poker is the product of Paul and Jack Wasserman, the father-and-son duo that decided to create their own poker platform that would be tailored to their specifications. 

The platform is set up to host private poker games online as a social and visual experience, allowing you to challenge friends and family as well. 

Features include an audio and video avatar that shows all players at their table positions simulating a live gaming experience along with dynamically changeable blinds, antes and timers. 

Statistics were also the main focus when the duo designed the software. The two Implemented analytics such as their VPIP, PFR and continuation bet percentages, the biggest pot won, and how much money they've lost by folding the best hand.

As Paul Wasserman commented: "No platform existed that allowed players to replicate what it is like to play poker in an in-person setting.

"We designed VersusPoker from the ground up to capture that "live" feeling of playing with friends. In addition, as avid gamers, we added stream-centric features like the Versus Heads-Up Showdown, so both players and viewers alike feel as if they're watching a professionally televised game."

At the moment the site only offers Texas Hold'Em but there are plans for additional games in the future. 

CEO of Saritasa Nik Froehlich added: "When Paul and Jack came to us with their concept for a private poker site, we were thrilled at the challenge. Poker is a complex game - an online version is even more so."

There is currently an early access version of VersusPoker that is free-to-play for the time being.
