Bitcoin Forum

Hello, I decided to give btc poker rooms a try, and I'm looking for decent poker rooms to play.
I've already searched to forum and saw room that have problem with their player base, and it's hard to find players to play aggainst, I already saw problems with rooms opening and then just closing etc

So I hope you could help and give some feedback on the rooms you trust and that have a decent player base, so I can give it a try.

Thank you!
(no video poker, or casino poker based games, I wanted normal poker rooms)


I will keep a list here, so this thread might be useful and easy to read for everyone.

If you are looking for the most serious and reliable one, go for http://swcpoker.eu/

I personally play at BetcoinPoker.ag and like the above SWC but mainly play at BetcoinPoker.. https://www.betcoin.ag/ bigger GTD tournaments is my reasoning.

I found some interesting place: bitsPoker is one of the fastest growing bitcoin poker rooms this year and has made a reputation for its high stakes tables.
On top of that, bitsPoker offers an unprecedented number of guaranteed tournaments that run daily with guaranteed prize pools starting from 1BTC.

¤ 5 types of daily tournaments, and 2 Heads up Sit & Go tourneys are now available.
¤ Tables vary from 0.1mBTC/0.2mBTC to 50mBTC/100BTC.
¤ Omaha Hi-Lo is now available.

Are you looking for the table action or freerolls? I recommend you to try luckyflop. There are alot of freerolls there and some player for the table game. The player base there is not very high like betcoin.ag so if you want a table games go to betcoin.ag instead

I like freerols so I can try the rooms, but I will probably deposit and I want the room to be stable, so it is important that there is good action at ring games, and available sit n go's and multi table tournaments. (I'm pretty sure there is no "poker stars" in the btc world yet, but I'm am looking for something stable that may present as a decent alternative to the big "normal" poker rooms)

Luckyflop will be the good choice for you. You can earn some points to use for their huge freerolls as well but the only problem is that there are only a little table player , not so crowded like betcoin.ag but I think it should be enough. Also there is a new promotions for table player there

I would recommend Betcoin.ag mostly , you can play WPN tourneys if you are a betcoin player
but honestly if you don't have a problem with verifying your account and if you are in a country where gambling online is allowed then don't play at btc sites
non of btc poker sites can make you totally happy with their services and usually there is a lack of players

Not needing to verify yourself is pretty much the best part about Bitcoin sites :P

Also, on topic, can anyone suggest any really really low stakes poker sites or ones with frequent freerolls?
I'm currently using pokershibes (dogecoin based) and converting BTC to doge as needed. The main reason is that there are tournaments with buyins of 0.1 mBTC equivalent in doge and rooms with 1/2 doge stakes (60 satoshis!)
Looking for a poker room where I can play for ages without risking anything.

I'm starting to have problems in my country. I believe that most of those sites will solve the problem, at least betfair will, or so I hope.
But although that might be a problem in the future, I still can play in some rooms, but I really wanted to have the option to play in btc poker rooms without conversions to $ etc, that's why I searching for them. Of course if I don't find an option with a good player base I will have to stay with the "normal" ones.

Aside from SWC, I've never found a poker client with a solid player base. Can anyone prove me wrong?

Honestly think we need to kill some of these smaller poker sites to pool the player field a bit more to grow.

Nitro is good but it lacks players.
Seals has a tendency for disconnects well you are in a hand.(Not sure if it has been fixed)

Would love to use betcoin but I seem to have issues getting on as a mac user.

i would give my vote for swc. i ike play poker at there when im feel bored

The best poker site and only serius & big is betcoin.ag

What kinda voting mechanism is this ? Add a poll in OP.

No matter what, EVERYONE should play at SWC a bit. We all owe something to Micon, and to what he has been put through by the LV Casino oligopoly and the corrupted/owned government there. That raid on his home, with his young family present, was an offense to us all.

lol it was not intended to be a vote mechanism, I was just keeping track of the opinions. Did not try the poll because I did not know if you could make a pol with no option lol, and players would just add their option and their vote, and others would follow if they also wanted to vote on that one. If that is not possible, then a poll would be useless because I could not put any room to start with, because the point of this thread was for me to get some advice on the best poker rooms out there (and like I said I did not knew any, because I'm starting the "transition" to btc poker rooms).

swcpoker for me

swc poker have a bad room design
i like betcoinpoker.ag and vote for them

I don't think you can create a poll with no starting options; but you can edit the poll later to include the suggestions provided in the thread (other users can't do that by themselves). So, you could have created a poll with a token entry at first, for example, and then fill in the remaining entries, as they are provided - still somewhat of a cumbersome method though, I suppose. :P

By the way, isn't Betcoin.ag repeated in the list?

I did nothing and won 40 mBTC in betcoin.ag , i won the small jackpot :) . Cool site. ;D

Hi, how did you earn jackpot if u did nothing?? I play in betcoin too, but not such jackpot I have seen. ???

You can add Nitrogensports to the list but I suppose SwC wins it all the time as its the oldest and usually has the large number of players online.

I just placed a 5mBTC bet on Rovaniemi PS which is losing now against last place, and boom, ultraplay transfer payment. It was in SPORTS tab , I only play sports, don't believe in the Slots, although they say they are fair, yes they are but to the house, not the players :)

EDIT: Already successfully withdrawed 0.04(40mBTC) have 15 in balance now, apparently the jackpot was 49 mBTC, I also have 1000 chips to play poker, and don't have the slightest idea how I got them, maybe another jackpot :) ?

You may try the one on my signature, you can get daily bonus 4chips. And you can use those chips to play on ring games and the winning chips from the ring games will be your credits (you can withdraw it)
Unfortunately this poker rooms has no HTML5 client, so you need to download and install a software to your PC or Android phone (available on playstore)
Promotions : you can get 100 bonus chips here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1126181.0

Good luck.

you may try in nitrogen or playtodos and get sign up bonus 0.01 btc
good luck always

All in.

Thanks for the great suggestions guys, I have been wanting to try poker myself.  I can see bitcoin poker growing a lot in the near future :)  I will keep an eye on this thread for more suggestions.

same with me and i need poker rooms design looks better and interface.
but thanks to all for suggestion
i want to try it for suggestion.

I already saw the poll options and I will open a new thread with a poll mechanism. I will list the options here, and I will select the option that allows users to ad more rooms to the poll. I will edit this thread with the link to the new one, so lets keep the suggestions and discussion there.
