Types of Professional Marked Poker Cards
1. Infrared (IR) Marked Cards
The industry standard for professional poker cheating. IR markings are printed with special pigments invisible to the naked eye but clearly visible through infrared-filtered lenses. Our IR marked decks are compatible with all major viewing systems including contact lenses, sunglasses, and scanner cameras.
Best for: All-around use in casino and home game environments. Compatible with the widest range of reading devices. These are our top-selling marked cards — inventory moves fast.
2. Luminous Ink Marked Cards
An alternative to IR technology, luminous ink markings glow under specific light wavelengths when viewed through compatible lenses. These cards perform exceptionally well in dimmer lighting conditions where IR contrast may be reduced.
Best for: Low-light poker rooms, evening games, and players who prefer luminous lens systems. Available now at competitive pricing.
3. Barcode Edge-Marked Cards
Designed specifically for use with poker analyzer systems like the CVK 600. Microscopic barcodes printed on card edges are scanned by the analyzer device, which calculates hand odds and optimal plays in real-time. No visual reading required — the device handles everything.
Best for: CVK 600 users and professional teams requiring automated analysis. Always in stock — pair with any CVK 600 order.
4. Shade / Juice Marked Cards
Traditional marking method using subtle variations in the card back pattern. Requires trained eye recognition — no devices needed. Less common in professional circles but accessible for beginners.
Best for: Players who want zero-device marking detection. Available in limited quantities.

How to Choose the Right Marked Poker Cards
Consider these factors when selecting your marked deck:
Playing environment: Well-lit casino poker rooms favor IR markings. Dimmer home games work well with luminous ink. CVK-equipped players should use barcode edge-marked decks.
Reading method: If you wear IR contact lenses, stick with IR marked cards. If you use luminous lenses, luminous decks are your match. Be consistent — mixing technologies means marks become unreadable.
Deck durability needs: Plastic cards (Modiano, Copag) last 5-10x longer than paper cards. If you play frequently, invest in plastic. For occasional use, paper decks offer great value.
Budget: Standard paper IR decks start at our most accessible price point. Premium plastic with custom marking commands a higher price but delivers superior longevity and discretion.
