I guess its quite hard. SwC really is dead and not trustworthy anymore. Betnomi also looks strange.

Nitrogen sports has poker but they rake is ENORMOUS and not so much traffic as well. Also very limited games, almost no MTTs and a lot of players colluding. I think there are even bots and house players on nitro so you should stay away.

Other than that I dont really know es well. Poker is still a real money people's game, only god knows why.

Yeah for the moment that makes more sense I guess, Good luck at the tables.

Crypto poker sites that I am aware of have always had liquidity issues which is why most sessions end up with bots playing against you. The only alternative is FIAT sites that accept cryptocurrencies.

The above link points out some of the best FIAT+crypto poker sites among which Bovada or Bodog and Betonline are my favourites.

as far as I know, there are fiat poker sites that started accepting BTC you might want to check those out. but you most likely might need to do KYC in order to register. also, WPN's(winning poker network) partners accept BTC you might want to start checking there.

P.S. check it at your own risk.

If one reads his OP he understands that he has an appreciated, normal guess.

But after reading your second answer, it is undoubted that you were looking for that rigged answer and not a suggestion, like the ones that have been suggested above ...

First of all you must understand that playing at bitcoin Poker is a privilege, you are part of something important, and yes! You may only be interested in "winning" but everyone who ever plays at any cryptographic poker site is fulfilling a double function and may not be interested in knowing but you do, you are supporting the bitcoin network and an entrepreneur in the business cryptographic, the third thing are you ... or the first thing, what matters is that you understand it.

OP:
There are several ways to play in many FIAT casinos with crypto but some have the disadvantage that they transform their deposits to Fiat, which is almost the same and this has its advantages and disadvantages.

By the way, there is a well-known casino in Fiat + crypto that has a 100% promotion on its deposits until February or mid-February if it were 100% crypto I would give it the name.

Another thing you can do is use skrill, payeer (old school wallets) they accept bitcoin and are accepted in almost any traditional Fiat casino. So, you support the bitcoin network with transactions, you use bitcoin and play poker.

As for the traffic ... mmhh unless you are a cash player who opens 24 tables, the maximum limit that you ever played in the former red spade and which is the standard for those who want to generate VIP or Wager, then a traffic on the 500-1000 players online it is maybe necessary.

"Sit & GO" same as I have commented before,  less traffic, a single table is enough.

MTT  I assure you that the low traffic is the least important thing if you analyze the ratio of GTD / players / buyin ...

In short, I do not intend to cover with a finger the errors that exist and the deficiencies that certain crypto casinos may have but at least betnomi and swc would recommend them, support bitcoin, support the projects and if you are a good player you win with any type of traffic.

In any case, I can suggest these readings that are always objective and that seek more guidance rather than taking you to a casino first.

The review on swc is so outdated already ;) .

They had 3 rake increases in the past 6 months. BIG CON
Support not answering for days/weeks. BIG CON
Site representative here deletes posts and closes thread because of unwanted critics. BIG CON
Players get chat banned for no reason. BIG CON
Site representatives play at the site (swc first claimed they are not on their payroll). BIG CON
Unknown ownership of the site. BIG CON

They also cut the weekly/monthly Krill earner leaderboard prices in half while raising the rake (although promising to lower it).

Better make a new review mate .

But I support your standing on the whole support bitcoin thing.
No everybody thinks that way though, some like the convenience of using btc. Me for example. I got scammed at Neteller for 1000$ and they did nothing although I called them 1min after it happened. They made an "investigation" which took 1 week and as a result they closed my account because they didn't want to deal with the situation anymore.No explanation, no refund no sorry. Since then and because I live in a foreign country I only used btc as I had no other possibility. I cant use my credit card of the county I live in for gambling because of local laws so btc was my only optiion.

You are right, better to stick to the places you know. I haven't yet been playing much but I know Crypto.games has a decent poker traffic and they accept BTC. Maybe worth a try? But if you're not familiar with most of the new casinos don't risk it!

You should try ACR. Good traffic there and Bitcoin deposits/withdraws are allowed.

Those two poker sites are the most common recently in the forum. By that means if those are giving less expectation from you.

You really have to stick with the other poker sites that you know in fiat or just keep searching or until someone shares a new poker site to us that has better traffic than those.

Honestly, I don't know what else to advise you. The problem is that the crypto community doesn't seem to be big on poker, even though if you ask which are the most popular gambling games, poker is among the first things to come to mind. SwC is popular and seems reputable to me. Then there's also Betcoin poker, but a friend of mine recently had a withdrawal issue with them (I don't know how it ended, but I remember him waiting for his withdrawal to be processed for a week with no success) and Betcoin team said the website's no longer affiliated with them and is managed by other people or something like that.
If the traffic is low for you on SwC, I'm not sure you'll find a higher one elsewhere.

There are already less users that prefers poker sites nowadays, as the past events with other crypto pokers sites often had issues with withdrawals and the games being rugged. Most gamblers nowadays either prefer a normal gambling games such as dice, blackjack, etc., or poker casinos that often uses private lobbies and fiat money to assure that no one would be scuffed in withdrawing. Also, some countries do have their own online poker games thats why the traffic on some online pokers decreases.

I think the main problem with btc poker is the no KYC part.
1 person could open infinite accounts on a site and collude the hell out of it. Also some places operate without any license ( swc for example ) which is also a red flag. Its an invitation to cheat and I witnessed it pretty often.

Fiat poker pretty much always requires KYC which makes having multiple accounts more difficult and the games more secure. Of course I know that cheaters are everywhere but at NO KYC bitcoin places their "job" is way more easy.

5-10 low/mid stake MTT usually there are more on weekends

Are you looking for for an exclusive poker site with only btc deposits? If yes then there are none right now aside from swc and betnomi. There are also Rounder Casino Poker (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5267684.0) but the traffic is very low in this site

If you are fine with fiat poker sites that accept bitcoin deposits then have you heard of ggpoker? As long as you are not from US then you should be able to play on this site. No KYC asked but if you dont verify your account then your account will only have $500 maximum withdrawal limit per month

Low / mid even micro and highrollers MTT runs almost every 15 minutes. The only cons of this site is that the field is quite tough , Imo on low/mid stakes I'd say harder than stars ( probably Im just bad or whatever  ::) )

They have no enough traffic because most of the poker players prefer to use their local poker platforms the same to what is happening in our country. Instead of using bitcoin in order to play poker, most of the players decided to use their local fiat in order to easily cashin and cashout.

So far, the two that you have mentioned are the popular poker sites that I know but if the traffic are not enough for you then maybe you can just look for a local poker platform in your country as it will surely take time for SWC and betnomi to increase their number of players especially if they are not boosting their marketing. And for the casino, I am pretty sure that their traffic is not pretty good also if you are only looking to poker game only.
