There is an update popup screen that always pop up when starting the software, even when you click "don't show again". There is another popup when quitting the software as well. This popup tells you to refer friends and shows two sexy looking females, which could look like a porn ad if someone was to walk by and see it.
The poker table was pretty unique in their own way. The first thing that you'll notice is the ability to upload your own avatar. It takes around 24-48 hours to get your avatar approved. You wouldn't even know it's approved till you sit down at a table. Next to each seat is a table (see screenshots below). That table can be used to hold drinks, foods, and/or cigars.
