Bitcoin Forum

This is for anyone that's been playing poker for 5+ years profitably

Where do you like to play and why
I'm looking for new venues to check out
That accept BTC deposits and withdrawals

Normally I play at NitrogenSport, as there is hourly freeroll, with no. of players there.
and also you can sport betting there too (if you want).

Sports books or anything casino related is of no
Interest, just NLHE.

Is nitrogen open to u.s. based players?

Are you able to play on your phone too?
How is the quality and quantity of players?

Nitrogen Sports has NLHE tournaments and cash games. They have their own casino in addition to their sports book. You don't have to do any verification so you should be able to play from wherever.

Seals With Clubs is another decent bitcoin only poker room that you may want to check out. They have a number of decent tournaments but not a ton of players at the moment.

My New favorite poker site is Americas cardroom . They offer bitcoin deposits and withdrawals, and are a long time reputed website in the fiat world, so you wouldn't face any issues like you would on a bitcoin casino site.

Yep acr and betcoin are by far the best

If you have been playing poker for awhile no doubt you are familiar with AmericasCardroom.eu and this has been a favorite of mine for awhile.  I have recently been spending most of my poker time at Betcoin.ag Poker and enjoying a great experience.  I recommend giving them all a try and seeing which one fits you best.  Others include, nitrogensports.eu and sealswithclubs.eu.  All of them I would recommend depending on what specifically you are looking for, but the two superior experiences and opportunities are at AmericasCardroom.eu and Betcoin.ag.  

LOL, betcoin.ag is an ant compared to the WPN!


Please describe your superior experience at the betcoin.ag scam with 14 players in average?

I think you played $5 buy in?

While the traffic at the WPN (ACR, etc.) is huge, it has also the toughest player level. Ignition or BetOnline are definetely softer.

I've totally heard of ACR just not the sites that were
Built with crypto's in mind. I've played on carbon, full-tilt,
Ultimate bet, pokerstars. looked at cake poker.
Probably 99% of my career play has been live games
I've thought of trying out ACR but with my recent
Experience with carbon poker I've been skeptical
At the least with joining another online cardroom
While being u.s. based.

Skepticism is certainly understandable, but with the crypto sites you can deposit and play and then withdraw immediately after your session.  My favorite of the crypto's is Betcoin.ag because it offers all of the tournaments and most of the sng's that ACR has as well as enough cash games to find suitable tables for me.  It definitely needs more traffic overall, but is a new site relative to ACR and has the most traffic of the crypto only poker websites.  I also enjoy the community, casino, sports, etc from time to time that Betcoin.ag offers.  I would recommend trying Betcoin.ag, NitrogenSports.eu and SealsWithClubs.eu and seeing which one works for you. 

Unless I'm mistaken, or not looking where I need to
Sealswithclubs looks like a place for advertising?

That was my fault it used to be SealsWithClubs.eu but is now SWCPoker.eu

The downside to ACR is that they will will make you verify personal details to withdraw ( large amounts at least ). I know someone who won a decent sized tournament and deposited with bitcoin but in order to withdraw bitcoin had to verify personal information.

In late EU hours there are decent games at Nitrogensports. Usually 1-3 tables 0.25 - 0.5 to 5/10 mBTC.

Players are soft because they are mainly sportsbettors. And you need a deeper bankroll if you want to survive in a long run.

Nitrogen Sports has a good poker platform.  It's what I recommend to people if they want to gamble. Too bad they don't get much traffic.  Seals with Clubs was a good poker platform too, tho it didn't have a lot of people playing.  But it had more traffic than Nitrogen during its peak in popularity.

Indeed... NitrogenSport has a nice platform to play. Furthermore you can also play sport betting and you can play without verification so could play anytime.

If you already playing poker for 5 years, you should know what the best site for play poker but i guess we has know the popularity of poker has done due all gambler that use bitcoin only  free roll tournament.

I've played poker quite a lot longer than 5 years
But like I said that was 99% live play(not online)
Majority of my online play was on PS and full
Tilt but that was pre Black Friday. And Im certainly am
Quite unfamiliar with any sites designed with crypto's
In mind. As for what's been mentioned I think I'm
Going with ACR

ACR is the best in my opinion , especially with the new SNG2.0 format if you are interested in SNGs since there are many recreationals who are only interested in the jackpot part
the support and the software suck , but overall you should have a good experience playing there 

The betcoin.ag scam is excluded from the WPN SnG's

NitrogenSports has the most traffic of Bitcoin only sites.

What community do the betcoin.ag scam offer? Liars or what? But if you see that the betcoin.ag scam did not work, it is a little bit too late, isn't it?

Betcoin.ag extort 500 Bitcoins Jackpot winner for “settlement” (https://game-protect.com/betcoin-ag-extort-jackpot-winner/)

Betcoin.ag does have some of the sitngos I see but not all.  I do enjoy the hyper sng's personally over at ACR, Blackchip but I have switched my play to the crypto sites for ease and quickness of deposit / withdrawal.  I also think all these sites are pushing gaming further which makes it better for all of us and very happy to support them.   

Interested to hear your feedback  jjrundy on all of the crypto sites. 

Honestly, between betcoin, swc, and nitro I expected more I'll
Choose to pass on those aside from traffic. The UI for the 3 is lacking
Quite a bit. I don't really feel like they're operated
At the level of professionalism that I would expect
From an entity that I'm depositing funds into. Sadly
I can't evaluate game play on any of these sites
Due to not playing but with 100 players at any giving
Time I feel comfortable saying theyre almost certainly
90% fish and that's just not what I'm after.

As far as ACR that's TBD as I can't play mobile and
I'm mobile 90% of the time.

Betcoin.ag lost 66% traffic recently and they will not push gaming further. It is a sinking ship!

Let us talk about a Bitcoin poker room in free fall, betcoin.ag (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1788234.0)

In gambling, poker is my favorite, I like playing poker because it is an interesting game. It is a luck based gambling game but it also requires players to think, calculate a bit to get the win. I usually play poker on Nitrogensports.eu. I also play on Betcoin.ag because it has a version for the phone, I can play anywhere without a computer. These two gambling sites are quite reputable, being used by many users. They also have poker tournaments with great rewards and I love this

Not only low traffic , as i have experienced the poker table in Nitrogensports is runned by bot and it is manipulated by site or some scammers. So i wont recommend anyone to play poker in that site.

I have been a poker player i wouldn't call myself professional or anything but i love the game, but never online. i have tried many places and none of them shows me enough trust to make me want to stick around.
that is one thing about dice that i like, it is easily provable that it is fair.
but you can never say it about Poker, it can easily be a bot or the site owners who see your hand!

i have found a solution though. a face to face game with my friends but with bitcoin. you just pay them afterwards.

how many players are there playing poker? i always searched for a good poker room with bitcoin, that has a good freeroll to start without investing but i didn't found anything, all the poker room require investment and their freeroll players base is empty

Arguably, there are only a few bitcoin powered poker rooms since I don't think it is that popular to gamblers and it doesn't really generate enough interest to make more of it like how dice has become so popular. Probably, people in the online gambling really do like a fast paced game rather than playing a long one.

Hey i just wanted to let you know that apart from the usual nitrogensports and sealclub there is anther one i like. It is called bovada and they offer really good bonuses for poker players and they give out bonuses as well like birthday credits and a percentage of losses get returned as bonuses.

Is there a bitmoin of poker rooms of such a level as pokerstars? Or is it 888poker?
I like them because there are a lot of players there, a normal interface.
I would like to find something like that.

 

I personally like americas card room (ACR)
Nice volume of players and good selection of cash game and tourneys of all buy-ins along with bitcoin deposit (and many others)

The best option sadly is still Pokerstars... Despite their huge rake and non existant rakeback currently, it still has the most volume for both cash and tournaments... And also the best client by far. Playing on 888 or iPoker is extremely tilting with such bad software.

I forget that most of the forum is europe/Asia based, having said that I'm still probably a year or so from being able to play
On pokerstars

Does pokerstars now accept bitcoin? Can you have a relatively anonymous account or will they need all your information and a linked bank account? This is a problem for players living in the USA. I feel kinda stuck and tired of the same old small games, the bitcoin poker community seems a bit stale right now. Maybe with bitcoin getting such a huge amount of exposure right now, we could see some of the big sites adopting.

I'm sure givin the current market cap of all crypto out there it will definitely gain a lot more traction in the coming months.
I was turned onto ACR because they were one of the sites that accepted bitcoin deposits.

I did not know that for citizens of the United States, such financial difficulties were created that you can not play PokerStars. :(

I feel like I want to say that they do indeed accept bitcoin.

Hey guys, do check out our private poker club with android & iOS app.

Nitrogen is an option, but ignition and americas card room also accepts bitcoin.

But it depends on if you want to keep your bitcoin as bitcoin...if you deposit on ignition and americas card room they convert it to USD. On nitrogen they dont, but the trade off is that nitrogen is low volume and has hardly any good mtt's (their structures are not good either, no antes!).

So it will just come down to whether or not you want to hold on to your bitcoin in case it goes up and if you want to play cash game or mtt. good luck man win all the btc!

Anyone experienced that can answer??

I am based in EU and have played on Nitrogen, SWC, SportsBetting, 5dimes, from those that accept BTC, and had no problem with withdrawals (no need to send documents and stuff).

Would that also be the case with Americas Cardroom and WPC, or will I have problems withdrawing amounts of 1-2 BTC? I don't have a problem sending my documents, but I don't want to be locked out of my account with money inside. So, do they accept players from everywhere or is it only for specific nationalitites?
