News & release notes

Cardamoo 1.14.0

A reward at every rank on the new Rank Road, a new face called Pip, and a Barn showroom with lower prices.

• 🛤️The Rank Road. Your whole climb from Novice to Godfather now sits on one road, and every rank has a reward waiting: an avatar, a frame, a card back or a win effect. Reach a rank and its reward arrives sealed, so you can open it at the table or save it for later. Tap any rank ahead to try its reward on your own seat.
• ⭐The first ranks come sooner. Rookie now takes 75 XP and Apprentice 300, so your first rewards show up in your first sessions. The rank-up moment waits until the hand is over, then shows your new rank and any bonus chips before you tap Ready.
• 🃏Win effects and card backs to earn. Deal Me In at Dealer and Whale Spout at Whale, plus The Mill and Hay Roller card backs, a Day One avatar, Reading Glasses, and the Learning the Ropes and Shark Pond frames.
• 🐮Meet Pip. Cardamoo has a face now. Pip is a paper cow who holds the ace on the boot screen, deals your practice hand and walks you through every lesson. Every icon in the app has been cut again in paper to match her, and every theme has its own new chip set. The new app icons come with the next store update.
• 🎁The Barn showroom. Try anything on your own seat before you unlock it. Rarity shows in the paper and finish of every tile, eight Cowlections reward you for finishing a set, and you can pin the one item you are saving for.
• 🏷️Barn prices cut. Epic and legendary items now cost half as much. If you unlocked one at the old price, the difference comes back to you as bonus chips, with a note in the Barn.
• 🐾The QQ Cowlection. Keepsakes for QQ, who sat with us through every hand: avatars, card backs, frames and a Garden Stroll win effect. They open one by one as you play, and nobody can buy them.
• ☀️A Today card in the lobby. Free Spin, Streak and Challenges now live together on one calm card, with your next Rank Road reward on top. When a hand ends your stack, Play again and New table are one tap away.
• 🔒Higher tables open as you rank up. New accounts unlock Gold at Grinder, Obsidian at Strategist and Zenith at High Roller. Existing accounts keep every table they had, and a friend can always bring you to theirs.
• ⏳The board takes its time. The flop turns over one card at a time, the turn and river hold a little longer, and an all-in shows every card one by one.
• 🔧Polish and bug fixes. Leaving in the middle of a hand now counts as a fold. Bonus chips you collect while seated stay in your balance when the hand ends. The action buttons no longer disappear on your turn, and there are many smaller fixes.

Cardamoo 1.13.3

Add chips any time, gestures in the game room, and quick phrases at the table.

• 🪙Add chips in the middle of a hand. Tap Add chips while a hand is playing and the chips are lined up for you. They join your stack when the hand ends, and they stay in your balance until then. Change your mind and you can remove them, and leaving the table drops them. If your stack grew past the table max in the meantime, you get what fits.
• 👆Gestures in the game room. Swipe up anywhere to open chat and swipe left on the felt to open Friends. Swipe down or right to close them again. On a tablet, swipe left on the felt to open the side panel. A small note shows you the gestures the first time you sit down.
• 💬Quick phrases and more emoji. The React button now has two tabs. Emoji has 16 to pick from, and Phrases has eight quick lines like Good luck, Nice hand and Well played. A phrase shows as a speech bubble at your seat, on the big screen, and in the chat history. The same panel lives in the chat drawer.
• 🤝Friend links open your Friends list. Opening a friend link adds them and takes you straight to your Friends list, with a note to say it worked.
• 🐄Herd goal, explained. Tap the herd pill at the table to see what it means. With a herdmate at your table, every hand you are both dealt counts double toward your herd’s weekly goal.
• ✅A tick when a seat is ready. Each seat that taps Ready makes a soft tick, on your phone and on the big screen.
• ✨Polish and bug fixes. Signing out and into another account no longer opens on the Profile tab. The React button sits in the middle of the bar. Chips Only tables, played around one real table, no longer show it.

Cardamoo 1.13.1

The hand end breathes: who won, then the chips, then the breakdown, one thing at a time.

• 🎬The hand end, one beat at a time. When a hand ends you see who won first. Then any win effect gets the screen to itself, then the chips travel from the pot to the winner while the numbers roll, then a breath before the breakdown. Tap the table to skip ahead as before.
• 🃏The dealer sweeps up. At the end of every hand every card turns face down and slides into one pile in the middle, then the pile goes to the dealer before the next hand is dealt, on your phone and on the big screen.
• 🪙The pot rolls to the winner. Chips fly from the pot to the winner, slower now so you can follow them, while the pot counts down and their stack counts up together. Split pots roll every winner at once.
• ⚡Action flash. A bet, raise or all-in flashes a ring around that seat; a check knocks, a fold shakes. Only other seats flash, your own panel stays still. Off under reduced motion.
• 🤚Ready is a tap again. The Auto-Ready and Auto-Muck switches are gone. Every table waits for you to tap Ready for the next hand, so the hand end has room to play out and nobody gets dealt in before they have seen it.
• 🥇Metallic medals. The top three on the leaderboard and the weekly board wear gold, silver and bronze medals with the same metallic finish on all seven themes.
• 🛠️Maintenance notice. When Cardamoo needs a few minutes of maintenance, every screen shows a countdown first. Tables already playing finish their hands, then a Maintenance in progress screen holds until we are back, and it reconnects on its own.
• ✨Polish and bug fixes. One popup per launch: the rest wait for next time, nothing is lost. The first-hand tips card now waits until you have played a hand. The herd pill shows only when a herdmate is actually seated. On a paired TV your controller's win pill no longer covers the hint. Reconnecting, syncing and loading screens share one look. A brand-new account no longer hits an error on its first screen.

Cardamoo 1.13.0

Poker Night, all night: the table on any TV with a five-letter code, sound on the big screen, and a table menu sorted by who it is for.

• 📺TV pairing code. Open cardamoo.com/tv on the TV or laptop and it shows a five-letter code. On your phone, Menu, Poker Night, enter the code, and the table appears on the screen. The QR and link still work too.
• 📱Put on TV. Mirroring your phone (AirPlay or Cast screen)? The Poker Night sheet gains Put on TV: the table goes to the screen while your phone stays your private controller.
• 🔊Sound on the big screen. The shared screen plays the table: deals, chips, the pot, the showdown. Phones at that table play only your own cues: your turn, your actions, your result. A Sound switch sits on the screen itself.
• 🔍Readable from the couch. The host picks whether the screen is propped up or lying flat, text size (S to XL), card size, a high-contrast turn highlight and whether the join QR stays up after the first hand. Remembered on your account.
• 🎬The hand end on the big screen. When a hand resolves on a paired screen: shown hands flip and the winner's best five lift while shown losers dim, the pot flies to the winner, and a name card lands with the amount (and the hand, only if the winner showed). Mucked cards never turn over. A wearer's Barn win FX now plays across the whole screen; your own phone plays FX only when you win.
• 🏆End night and the recap. The host taps End night (a night also wraps itself when everyone leaves after ten or more hands). The big screen shows the recap; phones get a sheet with the winner, the biggest pot, hands played and everyone's net, plus a poster link to share. Nights are virtual chips only; nothing here touches your balance.
• 📅Regular tables. After a night, make it a regular table: everyone who sat is a member (up to 12), the host sets a weekly night or a one-off, and members get one reminder about an hour before. Your tables live under Poker Night in the lobby with standings (nights won, then total net) and Start tonight opens the room with the saved blinds and buy-in.
• 🛠️Host tools. At a private table the host can end the night, remove a player (between hands, with their chips) and change the blinds for the next hand.
• 🧭The table menu, sorted. The in-game menu is grouped by who it is for (Your seat, Play together, Host) with one kind of row throughout. The mode badge moved into the menu title, Hand rankings lives in Game settings, and hosts of AI Arena tables can add or remove bots between hands.
• 😀React in one tap. A small React button sits by the action bar: tap it for an emoji strip, tap once more to send. Not your thing? Game settings, Reactions button turns it off.

Cardamoo 1.12.7

Play with the people you like: block or mute anyone, report a player in one tap, and invite friends to a party or your herd straight from their profile.

• 🛡️Block, mute and report. Every player profile now has Mute (hide their table chat for you), Block and Report (one tap to the Cardamoo team). Blocking removes any friendship quietly, and from the next game on you are never seated together: Quick Play, code tables, parties, tournaments, herd rallies and watching all keep you apart. A game you are both in right now plays out as usual. Manage your lists under Settings, Blocked and muted.
• 🤝Play together from a profile. A friend's profile shows what you can do together right now: watch their table, invite them to a party (starting one if you have none) or invite them to your herd.
• 🏆Showcase from the toast. When an achievement lands, the toast offers "Show it on your profile". One tap adds it to your showcase.
• 🐮Friendly nudges. After a table with someone new, the lobby offers to add them; and when you and a friend keep playing together, it suggests founding a herd, with them getting the first invite. One card at a time, and dismiss means gone.
• ✨Polish and bug fixes. Table chat now carries who said it, so mutes apply everywhere at once. Each opponent's name, stack and last action now sit on one card in the Paper, Original and Vault themes, and every table text in those three themes was re-checked for readability.

Cardamoo 1.12.3

A smoother table: every tap counts, the turn clock acts the moment it hits zero, and reconnecting mid-hand never stalls the game.

• 👆Every tap counts. A tap that landed a hair before your turn used to lock the buttons for half a second and swallow the real one. Now only an accepted action starts that lockout, so the first tap is the one that plays.
• ⏱️The turn clock acts on time. When your clock runs out the buttons step aside and a “Time’s up” line shows what the table is doing for you (check, or fold if there is a bet), then the hand moves on. Reconnecting or a friend joining mid-hand no longer pushes that moment later.
• 🃏Show or muck always sticks. Choosing Show at showdown could occasionally be lost when the hand had already been settled. It is recorded every time now.
• 📶Lighter on data. Table updates are compressed and the table does less repeated work behind the scenes, so hands use far less of your data plan and feel a touch snappier.
• 🔗Reconnects keep your seat. Dropping and coming back mid-hand resumes exactly where you were, and a server restart no longer leaves ghost seats behind.
• ⚡Play-ahead, clearer. The queued choice now says so (“Fold queued, tap to cancel”), a queued Call shows the price you queued it at, a short note tells you when a bet change cleared it, and the first-time tip is a small card in the bar instead of a popup over the table. All-in seats no longer see the row.
• ✨Polish and bug fixes. Friends and herd lists load faster, the leaderboard only loads when you open it, and a handful of quiet sync hiccups at the table are gone.

Cardamoo 1.12.2

Forty illustrated avatars in The Barn, and real sounds for every moment at the table and in the lobby.

• 🖼️Player avatars. Choose from 40 illustrated avatars in The Barn: cartoon, pixel, cut paper, origami and travel-poster styles. Eight are free (new players pick one when they join), the rest unlock with virtual chips across five tiers. Your avatar shows at the table, on your profile and to your friends.
• 🐮Legendary looks come alive. The four legendary avatars carry a gentle idle motion, and it respects your Reduce Motion setting.
• 🔊A real sound for every moment. Shuffle and deal, check, raise and all-in, your wins and showdown losses, the wheel, claims, unlocks, tournament moments and the screens themselves. The guided intro has sound too. One Sound switch in Settings mutes it all, everywhere.
• ✨Polish and bug fixes. Equipping in The Barn is quiet, the Avatars tab groups looks by tier, and the Sound switch applies from your very first tap.

Cardamoo 1.12.1

Tap your stack for your profile and balance, a quicker way into the table, and steadier online status for you and your friends.

• 👤Your profile at the table. Tap your own stack (or the profile icon in the header) during a hand to open your profile, with your chips in the wallet, at this table, and in total.
• ⚡One step into the table. Joining a table is a single loading moment now, and if your turn timer runs out the table says so, so you always know why a fold or check happened.
• 🔧Under the hood. Friends' online status and "In Party" state stay accurate after restarts and dropped connections.
• ♠️Big blind option. In an unraised pot the big blind now gets its turn to check or raise before the flop, and the last call before a new street stays on screen for a beat so the flop never looks early.
• ✨Polish and bug fixes. Small fixes and touch-ups across the lobby, Social, and your profile, and a table that closes while you're away now returns you to the lobby.

Cardamoo 1.12.0

A more natural table, smoother, more lifelike opponents with real profiles.

• 🎭Smoother, more lifelike opponents. The players filling empty seats now feel more natural to play against, with steadier reactions and a more human table overall.
• 🖼️Real profiles, real faces. Every player you sit with now has a real profile you can tap into, a name, an avatar, and stats from hands actually played.
• 🔧Under the hood. Behind-the-scenes work on how tables fill and stay lively.
• 🎯Four stake rooms. The stake lineup is now four rooms. Silver Series (1K/2K), Gold Circuit (5K/10K), Obsidian Room (25K/50K) and Zenith High-Stakes (100K/200K), so each step up is a smaller jump and you meet more players at every table.
• ⚡Play it automatically. While you wait for your turn, tap Check, Fold or Call to line up your move, it plays the moment your turn comes, and clears if a bet changes the situation. On desktop, F and C do the same.

Cardamoo 1.11.1

Full leaderboards you can page through, profile frames on the board, and a quicker Lucky Wheel, plus polish and bug fixes.

• 🏆Browse the full leaderboard. The weekly and all-time leaderboards now page through the whole board instead of stopping at the top spots, with a "My rank" pill that jumps you straight to where you sit, and your real rank shown on your own card.
• 🖼️Frames on the leaderboard. Earned profile frames now show on leaderboard rows, so your hard-won look travels with you onto the board.
• 🎡Skip the spin, every time. A new "Always skip animation" toggle on the Lucky Wheel remembers your choice, so you can jump straight to your reward.
• 🤝Encounters, explained. A quick explainer now introduces the Encounters tab, the players you've shared real hands with, your record against them, and chips won or lost.
• 🪙Bug reports can pay off. When a bug report you send in helps us fix something, you can now be awarded bonus chips as a thank-you, visible in your report's status and your chip ledger.
• 🃏Card art fixes. Fixed a couple of small rendering slips in the Harbor and Doodle card decks.
• 📱Smoother fullscreen on Android. The status bar now stays tucked away more reliably in fullscreen.
• 🔧Under the hood. Behind-the-scenes fixes and small polish throughout the app.

Cardamoo 1.11.0

Invite friends and you both get bonus chips, and join a Herd to play together and compete for weekly bonus chips.

• 🤝Bring a Friend. Invite a friend with your personal link or code. When they join and start playing, you both get bonus chips, a welcome bonus for them, and a thank-you for you.
• 🐄Herds. Start your own Herd or join one, a club of up to 20 players. Pick your emblem, set a motto, and chat with your herdmates.
• 🏆Herd vs Herd. Every week, herds compete on their members' combined weekly play for bonus-chip prizes. Play your best all week and share the winnings with your herd.
• 🎯Herd goals. Play hands together to fill your herd's goal chest, reach each tier and every member gets bonus chips. Sitting at the same table as a herdmate counts double.
• 📣Rally your herd. Open a table and rally, your herdmates get a heads-up to come and join you.
• 🖼️New frames to earn. Earn new profile frames as you bring friends onto Cardamoo and as your herd grows.
• 🔧Under the hood. Smoother, more reliable connections and behind-the-scenes fixes.

Cardamoo 1.10.3

A brand-new desktop and tablet experience, plus theater-style hand replays, big-screen poker lessons, and challenge fixes.

• 🖥️Big-screen redesign, everywhere. Every screen now has a proper desktop and tablet layout, stats, history, ledger, ranks, badges, game setup, parties and more. No more stretched phone pages on a big screen.
• 🎬Replay theater. Hand replays on desktop and tablet now play on a big table with a media-player control bar pinned at the bottom, and the coach docks alongside when there's advice to show. Shared replay links get the same treatment.
• 🎓Lessons made for big screens. In Learn Poker on desktop and tablet, your coach now chats in a side rail next to the full table. Scroll back through earlier steps, or use the new ‹ › arrows to review any step, the table highlights follow along.
• 🃏A better first look. The intro demo hand now fills the whole screen on desktop and tablet.
• ✅Challenge tracker fixed. The daily challenge pill no longer shows a claim reminder you can't act on, and "All Done" now shows up properly once you've finished everything.
• 🔧Under the hood. Cleaner behind-the-scenes handling of challenge rewards and support stats.

Cardamoo 1.10.2

Swap out unfinished daily challenges, bring back a broken streak the same day, and a refreshed way to support the game.

• 🔁Refresh your challenges. Stuck with a daily challenge you're not going to finish? Watch a short ad to swap every unfinished challenge for new ones, once a day.
• 🎁One bigger daily bonus. Claim all four daily challenges for one combined bonus, 1,000,000 bonus chips and 175 XP.
• 🔥Streak repair. Missed up to three days? You now get one shot to bring your streak back before the day ends, watch a short ad per missed day, or start fresh at Day 1. Your streak is never rewound past today.
• 🔢Streak screen fix. The streak sheet now always shows the right day out of 28, whichever week you're in.
• 🎡Cleaner spin screen. The Lucky Wheel screen now shows your streak as one tidy line instead of a repeated calendar strip.
• 💌A refreshed Support page. A shorter, more personal note from the developer, with a clear look at what your support gets you.
• ❤️Supporter hearts at the table. Supporters now show their heart badge next to their name at the table too, not just on their profile.
• 🏬Support from the Barn. A new featured tile in the Barn points the way to the Supporter Pack.

Cardamoo 1.10.1

Poker Night gets sharper, smarter chip piles, clearer controllers, plus a new way to wear what you've earned in the Barn, a goal tracker on your lobby card, and a batch of fixes from your reports.

• 🪙Chips that tell the story. Poker Night chip piles now show how deep each stack runs at your table, a whale's mountain and a short stack finally look the part.
• 💡Your turn, unmissable. On Poker Night controllers the edge glow now stays lit your whole turn and goes red when time runs short.
• 📣Action feed on your phone. Controllers show who raised and how much, no squinting at the big screen.
• 🃏One deck for the table. Cards on Poker Night screens and controllers now always show the classic faces, so every player reads the same deck. Card backs stay yours, and with no Barn back equipped, the big screen now shows your theme's own back.
• 🎉Bigger table reactions. Emotes on the shared screen scale up to stay visible from the couch.
• 🪞Wear what you earn. Unlocked frames, card backs or win effects you've never worn? A new lobby sheet shows them off and equips them in one tap, and the Barn card counts what's left to try on.

Cardamoo 1.9.3

Bring your party to Quick Play, see your history with every player you've shared a table with, and invite a friend straight into your table with a link. Plus more time to read the results between hands.

• 👯Party Quick Play. Party up with 2-4 friends and sit down at a Quick Play table together, other players fill the remaining seats. The party leader picks the stakes for everyone.

• 🏆Tournaments finish reliably. Regular and party tournaments now recover cleanly, declare the winner and pay the correct prize even if the game server restarts near the final hand.

• 🔍Breakdowns on shared hands. Shared-hand viewers can open the same showdown breakdown available in personal replays.
• ⚡Safer Quick Play reconnects. Briefly switching away from Cardamoo no longer removes your Quick Play table before you have a chance to reconnect.

Cardamoo 1.9.0

The Barn grows up: frames, card backs and win effects you can only EARN, never unlock with chips, however rich you are, and every item shows how rare it is. Doodle joins as a hand-drawn sketchbook theme, every theme now lives in the Barn with your own seat as the preview, and dealing got its drama, cards flip in, and the river holds its breath.

• 🏅Frames you earn. Twelve hand-drawn avatar frames that chips cannot unlock at any price, a rising sun for your first win, a full laurel wreath for your thousandth, a triple crown for tournament royalty. Six paths to climb, and the frame you wear says how far you have come.
• 💎Rarity on everything. Every item in the Barn now shows how rare it is, from common up to mythic. Chips can take you as far as legendary. The tiers above that are earned only.
• 🎁Already yours. Everything you have already achieved has been credited. Open the Barn and the frames you earned long ago are waiting, unlocked.
• 🎮Guests can wear what they earn. Playing without an account? Win a few hands in AI Arena and the frame you earn is yours to wear, and it comes with you if you make an account.
• ✏️Doodle theme. A hand-drawn sketchbook look for the whole app, pencil lines, crayon color, and wobbly drawn frames on everything from the lobby tiles to the buttons at the table. Free for everyone in the Barn.
• 🃏A sketched deck. Doodle deals its own illustrated deck, with hand-drawn chips to match, the third theme with cards entirely of its own.
• 🚜Themes move into the Barn. Every table theme now lives in the Barn, right alongside your card backs, seat frames, and win effects. The palette button takes you straight there.
• 🎴Your table look. The Barn now opens with your own seat at the table, your cards, your card back, your frame, your name and your chips, sitting on the exact table your theme deals on. And as you browse, a compact version of your look stays pinned at the top.
• 👋The Barn opens to guests. Playing as a guest? You can browse the whole Barn now and switch between the themes that are available to you.
• 🎨A tidier theme list. Emerald, Amethyst and Crimson were color variations of Vault, so they've been folded back into Vault itself. If you were wearing one, you're on Vault now, every other theme is untouched.
• 🎬Preview win effects. See a win effect play out full-screen before you unlock it, tap Preview in the Barn. Already own one? Tapping it plays it again.
• 🎆New win effects. Four new ways a win can land, including three you can only earn: a fairground bullseye, the pot converging on your seat with a double golden bloom, and a full-table coronation for reaching the very top. And every celebration, old and new, now plays bigger and longer.
• 🎴A new set of card backs. Eight hand-picked new backs across every rarity. Cow Print, the Little Red Barn, and a shimmering Sun & Moon to unlock with chips, plus five you can only earn, up to two mythics: the White Stag and the Milky Way. The rarest ones move.
• 👑Stand out at the table. Wear something heroic or mythic and the table knows, your seat carries its colour, and when you win a hand, the item is named right on the winner banner.
• 🃏Feel every deal. Your hole cards now flip face-up as they reach you, and the board joins the drama, the flop snaps over, the turn takes a beat, and the river holds its breath before it lands.
• ⏱️A clearer turn timer. A gold ring now counts down around the player who is thinking, turning red for the final seconds. One glance says how long is left, and it never covers anyone's face or frame.
• ✨Polish. Theme tiles now preview a King so you can see each theme's illustrated court cards at a glance, your lobby avatar wears your equipped frame, plus a round of smaller fixes across the app.

Cardamoo 1.8.2

Cardamoo got a fresh coat of paint: two brand-new themes, misty Harbor and warm Paper, each dealing its own illustrated deck, alongside a new app icon, a proper loading screen, and a faster, smoother app. The Barn now greets you right in the lobby, with a new Themes tab inside.

Cardamoo 1.8.1

See exactly how every pot was won with the new showdown breakdown, step away from the table without losing your seat, and play on a tablet with a table built for the bigger screen.

• 🔍Showdown breakdown. After every showdown, tap View Breakdown to see each player's best five cards, who won which pot, and why, split pots and side pots included. Tap a player to light up the cards that made their hand.
• 🎞️Breakdowns in replays. The same breakdown is available when you watch a hand back from your replays.
• 🃏Clearer winning cards. Winning hands are highlighted correctly for every winner now, in a split pot both players' cards light up, instead of only one.
