Whether joining the poker rush when Pokerstars’ Chris Moneymaker won the WSOP, betting on Superbowl props with your friends, or looking for live blackjack, anyone familiar with gaming online knows all too well the grey area of deposits and cashouts: The phone cards, visits to check cashing shops, courier checks, Western Union payments to the Phillipines … all the while, never mentioning what’s really taking place. Your account at Bovada or Bookmaker tends to feel an awfully long way from your bank account. Even in a brick-and-mortar casino, or other venues with outrageous ATM fees, the feeling is the same. It can just be tough to trust online casinos and move money without unreasonable fees, difficulty, or other annoyances.

I'm surprised it took this long to use Satoshi's brand on poker.  Is this site related to Satoshi Dice? 

They look to have a decent look & feel; however, only 11 players right now. 

Currently, over 200 players playing Bitcoin Poker at Seals (https://sealswithclubs.eu/aff.php?aff=125).

I expect many more bitcoin poker sites to start up soon.  I was excited when a litecoin poker site started, but then shut down only a few weeks later...

This must be what it felt like for the inventor of television, when he first saw his wonderful device being used to sell people things they didn't need.

A peculiar dreadful feeling.
