What if Planning Poker felt more like a casino?

Hey everyone,

My team and I are devs. We were hunting for a new planning poker tool because our old setup was just painfully dry, and everyone completely zoned out during estimation.
We couldn't find anything engaging, so we ended up building a platform called Refinement Poker refinement.team/poker. It has a wild casino/arcade theme with mini-games, and itโ€™s free for small teams with no signup required to join rooms. Honestly, using it for our own sprint planning actually kept us awake and talking for once.
That's exactly why I built Refinement Poker.

You'll probably spend less time setting things up and more time having fun estimating stories.

Has anyone used gamified platforms like this long-term? Does the vibe actually keep teams engaged, or does it get old after a few sprints?
