All In Channel E. & C. announces the filing of the patent for EMPOKERMENT: a new evolution in strategic competitions and sports poker
Varese, February 21, 2025 – All In Channel Entertainment & Communication announces the filing of patent application No. 102025000003486, which protects an innovative system dedicated to strategic competitions and sports poker. At the heart of the invention are the Skill Indexes – SI (or Skill Poker Index – SPI, for marketing), tools developed to objectively measure participants’ strategic abilities and reduce the impact of luck. Applied to Texas Hold’em poker, this technology has given rise to EMPOKERMENT, a formula that introduces a sports variant of the discipline, focused on merit and the empowerment of players.
“EMPOKERMENT,” states Pietro Semeraro, inventor of the SPI system and creator of the project, “was born from the need to recognize and enhance strategic skills, often overshadowed by the perception of poker as a game of chance. Our system rewards decision-making awareness and analytical ability, offering players the opportunity to embark on a path of personal, professional, and athletic growth.”
Innovation and Context
The Skill Indexes (SI) allow for the evaluation of strategic decisions during every phase of the game, fostering fair and transparent competitions. At the core of EMPOKERMENT lies the concept of empowerment, understood as the enhancement of decision-making abilities and the effective management of resources. The system encourages players to develop skills that are valuable beyond the competition itself.
Main objectives of the innovation:
- Promote skill-based competitions, overcoming the stigma of gambling.
- Provide transparent evaluations for athletes, organizers, and institutions.
- Support the recognition of EMPOKERMENT as a sports discipline at the international level.
The Role of the EMPOKERMENT Federation (IFE)
To regulate and promote the discipline, the establishment of the International Federation of EMPOKERMENT – IFE ETS is currently underway. The Federation will be responsible for:
- Defining international competitive standards.
- Certifying athletes’ skills through the SPI.
- Regulating live and digital tournaments, ensuring integrity and transparency.
- Collaborating with sports organizations for the official recognition of the discipline.
Through an inclusive and sustainable management model, the Federation aims to create a meritocratic competitive ecosystem focused on skill development.
