Bitcoin Forum

Hello Everyone,  I recently been reading allot of articles and reviews about bitcoin and it seems to be doing well so i figured i would give it a shot. I have switched from usd poker to bitcoin poker and want to know the community's personal opinion on the betcoin.ag site? Please if you do not mind give me some advice about the site ? is it trustworthy? are payouts on time ?  Is support staff friendly? 

Lol

They have a signature campaign and there is no scam accusations against them, so I think they are more or less legit, but nothing is warranted

They have the best poker room available to all citizens.  Lowest rake and best rewards as well.

In my experience it is very legit and I  have never read or seen anything scammy about them. They are leaders in the poker field and its good you have found them, their support I can only answer from one issue which was resolved within minutes and I give them top marks.

Withdrawals don't take long the maximum I have waited is around 24 hours. Usually within 6 hours. Anything else please pm me I will be happy to help out. Well done on moving from the usd :)

I really enjoy playing there, I think you will like it. The tournaments are nice, and yes the support if friendly, at least according to my experience.
I have withdraw my profits many times, so I think you should be fine. Hard to multi table some times if you really like that, but that is a problem in every BTC poker room for now, so not much choice there.

I think you can trust Betcoin.ag they have also signature campaign and other stuff.
So yeah just becarefull in the future that you don't gamble in other website where they are not that much review, bitcoin world are a lot of scams.

Just because they have a signature campaign and there haven't been any scam accusations against them doesn't mean squat. Always remember the BitcoinBlackFriday.info scam - they had a very good appearance and most people were looking forward to them, including me.

That being said, Betcoin.AG seems to have a good reputation around the forum, and IIRC, they offer provably fair gambling. Always gamble with caution, though - never gamble in a new site with a tenth of your allotted gambling funds.

Yeah that is true, that blackfriday campaign signature was just sad to do, but oh well what can you do.
Further that is why if you start using bitcoin always watch what you are doing if is safe to gamble or not or safe to invest or not.

i have played on betcoin for almost 1 year, i registered there in February and now still be active there, i like playing poker especially texas holdem there, so i can practice my poker skills and make money in the same time, rake back is good so we can get money back from vip program, awesome site i have seen. especially in btc poker community

I think they are legit, and also good for BTC, because of private BTC player pools in Winning Poker Network, I hope to see Americas Cardroom or some other sites to join BTC player pools soon too on that network.

So i take it they are pretty legit. I looked them up online and they seem to have good feedback i just wanted to take a moment and ask the bitcoin community. Thank you for your answers.  :o :o

I have used them, and have not been scammed. But there is always a risk, it can go dark any time.

No i was talking about betcoin.ag. <<<        I have visited the betcoin.tm but they have no support or phone number so it is kind of sketchy.

100% Yes

i am playing poker from last 5 years or so..if you want to play at most trusted bitcoin poker site try https://swcpoker.eu Too many great tourneys and big freerolls.

I think so, because 2 days ago i claim 10mbtc giveaway for playing poker on this site and i earn up to 48mbtc and when i request withdrawal it's not automated but i wait until 3-4hours and i receive my 48mbtc

To be honest, I personally have not use betcoin.ag yet, but I am a participant of their signature campaign. So far there is no problem with the payment yet.
You can take a look at the review for Betcoin.ag made by Bitcoin.gg here (http://www.bitcoingg.com/bitcoin-online-gambling/betcoin-casino/). They are rated 8 out of 10 by Bitcoingg.com.

I've had success with them recently.

I have never get problem when i deposit and withdraw at their and Until right now i never hear anyone got problem about withdrawal

Of course they are legit. I've been playing at their platform for months now and already made withdraws... it can take a long time but they always deliver

Bitcoin and online gambling may not be legal in some countries.. So it's really a grey area to answer this sort of thing.

I personally don't see bitcoin gambling as illegal, and I'm thinking it may be regulated in Canada but not enforced for the most part.
I'd check with your local law enforcement or govt to see if Bitcoin gambling is illegal in your country if it is maybe use a secure browser like tor.

They are working with me on some issues. I had a customer service agent go off on me. But other agents have come in and worked it out with me. So I am on the fence with this place but I am going to keep testing it out purely because of the other agent.

I have to agree with the sentiment of this thread.
They seem to be quite reliable. Apart for their sig campaign, there are no scam accusations and their service (I tried it once) works smooth..

Would i vouch for them. Nope.

There are scam accusations to their sig campaign? Never heard of it.
Anyway, I know them for their poker service, and never had any problems. Never tried the other services, so I can't talk about those.

I have been playing at Betcoin.ag for quite awhile....I, too, have migrated from USD to BTC, and I can say that Betcoin.ag is the best pokersite you can find on this forum.  Not only is it HUD compatible, but it also has the benefit of being included in the Winning Poker Network's tournament player pool.

Suggestions:  Utilize the resources of the internet such as pokerscout and sharkscope to get a better understanding of the people you play against and the poker sites you're considering....Not everybody on this forum tell the truth, some do, but not all!  Always do your own independent research....it will save you a lot of coin!  This is the wild, wild west.....pay attention to the trust rankings of the members you take advice from....Goodluck, catch you on the felt.

Well, there's an ongoing scam accusation (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1349352) against the site.
Let's see if they are about to resolve his grievances or they keep his request pending for much longer duration.

Although I don't believe they will earn a bad name just like that. Well, time will tell.

That is not just one but there were many very similar to that .I think it's just the difference of time zones or the owner/person responsible is not getting time to cash that out as they say the support agents cant do anything bigger than thousand credits,it's pathetic though.

I'm pretty sure it's been resolved....New accounts get scrutinized a little more than older accounts, due to security checks...there's always the possibility of multiple accounts and collusive activity in the poker client they need to check out....after the first withdrawal's complete, things should go smooth.  Other (USD) poker rooms go thru an extensive security check the first withdrawal....
