Many PPPoker clubs appear overnight promising "1000% ROI in a week". NUTS is not one of them. We started in 2017 in Sochi: a table, a timer, a 47-page rulebook, and the belief that poker is a sport. Here is how a local association became an international club with ID 111777.
2017: Sochi, a table and a dream
We were not a "club of the future" but an ordinary sports poker association. Judges in vests, players arguing about "one bet forward" longer than the tournament lasted, and venues where the neighbouring gym knew our blind structure by heart.
Pandemic and the move online
Restrictions, cancelled halls, postponed finals — the live season ended quietly. We learned: if players cannot come to the table, the table must come to the players. Private lobbies, then clubs, then PPPoker — and a community from Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Tajikistan and beyond.
NUTS today
- Tournaments with guarantees — schedule

Sochi office and trust
We have an office in Sochi, legal documents, transparent rules, and managers who reply faster than you can type "where is my deposit???" (spoiler: it is there — check club ID).

Conclusion
NUTS is a Sochi story that did not end with the pandemic. We still love live poker — our final tables just sometimes finish at 4:00 Dushanbe time. Meet the team: /o-nas/
