I was a little skeptical about this site at first but now that i have received 200 USD worth of BTC in my wallet i can vouch for btckings.
My initial deposit was about 40 bucks and it took me only 4 days to reach 200. I wish more people played on this site cause i feel a bit guilty
exploiting the bots and making easy money. I mean, if only a handful of people plays and exploits the bots all day everyday the site would be ruined
financially and will have to close the doors sooner or later and i don't want that to happen because i like this site and want it to succeed.

Thanks bul168. Actually we just cashed out one of our biggest players - 3.1 btc
Players' funds are sacred to us and we will always, no matter what, honour all legitimate withdrawal requests.

Bots are costing us dearly, that is true, but that is the price we are willing to play until we have more real players. There's no way around it. We wish more of you guys referred other players, we really have a great affiliate program which is intuitive and easy to use.

I got this, but no confirmation email.?


Hello WritingG123 and welcome to BTCKings!

Your account is ready and you can fund it any time. This is the bitcoin address associated with your poker account: "1Fj11W7AALuLgbHED7dPHDq9upzmy7c5mD"

Good luck at our tables!

You should receive a 2nd email as well with confirmation link. Please check your spam box and verify your email address.

You're right, I missed that one when typing. bigmonkey is a bot as well. That should be all of them, just double-checked.

One thing that we haven't mention before and we think you should guys know - players' bitcoins are kept off-line in cold storage. We vouch for your money either way, but just to let you know that your money is safe as it can be.

Do you have the address and a signed message to verify this?

You mean a btc wallet address where the deposits are being kept? We do, but we don't really want to make that public. We don't think it would serve any purpose. How would it benefit a player who, let's say, deposited 0.002 btc to know that there's 3 btc total in our wallet at the moment?


OK, here are the name of all the bots. We think it's only fair to let you guys know:

killphil, familyguy, tsonya, shush, bigwolf, appleman, jansdad, ox77, sammy, brooke, drdsi, bellboy, davidm, shaark, durrrr, ladymsj, jamie, sibeski, leon, peteman
105  Economy / Gambling / Re: BTCKINGS - bitcoin only poker site on: July 27, 2017, 07:15:02 PM
It is true that there were up to 5 bots at some tables. This will change as of now. Max 4 bots per table. This will probably work against us because bots, as terrible as they are - they are even weaker at short-handed games.

But we will go ahead and decrease the number of bots per table anyway.

OK, i've just heard back from our IT guy:

Most likely at the end of the line, he grabbed the line break characters when copying. I'll try to adjust in the future
107  Economy / Gambling / Re: BTCKINGS - bitcoin only poker site on: July 27, 2017, 06:46:59 AM
OK, you've been cashed out. Good luck!

I just tested both cashout and deposits with our test accounts and it seems to be working fine. I'm waiting to hear from the IT guy about your issue.
108  Economy / Gambling / Re: BTCKINGS - bitcoin only poker site on: July 27, 2017, 06:37:22 AM
Yes, I see it. I will contact the IT guy. If you want me to I can cash you out manually, but the transaction will not be recorded and it will not be on your transaction list. So, I would rather wait till our IT guy looks at it.
109  Economy / Gambling / Re: BTCKINGS - bitcoin only poker site on: July 27, 2017, 06:21:19 AM
Is it the btc wallet beginning with 3BSA... and ending with ...8Sw9?

That is the one we used to cash you out a couple of times in the past.
110  Economy / Gambling / Re: BTCKINGS - bitcoin only poker site on: July 27, 2017, 06:08:09 AM
Lool. Now its impossible to make cashout Cheesy

Why is it impossible for you to cash out? We cashed out 3 players yesterday. I don't see any requests from you.

I do not really understand what going on here but what I do know we really need to play more than just 1,250 chips? Because 1,000 chips only give use 3.2 point back? Anyway can you do the calculation for me? Plus that rakeback things? I am pretty confuse about these things. And about the only winning that count, I think this will make to get those point even harder. May be 2-3 times harder

Let me try and explain with this example. This is a typical poker hand. Total rake below is 9 chips. The hand is won by 'bellboy' and thus 'bellboy' receives 0.72 bonus chips. The rest of the players receive zero bonus chips for this hand. I hope this helps.

Hand #380271-28 - 2017-07-26 06:11:20
Game: NL Hold'em (200 - 2000) - Blinds 10/20
Site: BTC Kings
Table: Elsa
Seat 1: shaark (1000)
Seat 2: drdsi (229)
Seat 3: bellboy (2000)
Seat 4: davidm (1099)
Seat 5: brooke (2343)
brooke has the dealer button
shaark posts small blind 10
drdsi posts big blind 20
** Hole Cards ** [5 players]
bellboy raises to 60
davidm folds
brooke folds
shaark folds
shaark adds 10 chips
drdsi calls 40
** Flop ** [9c 5h 5s]
drdsi checks
bellboy bets 80
drdsi calls 80
** Turn ** [10d]
drdsi bets 89 (All-in)
bellboy calls 89
** River ** [4s]
** Pot Show Down ** [9c 5h 5s Td 4s]
drdsi shows [Th As] (Two Pair, Tens and Fives +A)
bellboy shows [Kd Ks] (Two Pair, Kings and Fives +T)
bellboy wins Pot (459) with Two Pair
Rake (9) Pot (468) Players (shaark: 10, drdsi: 229, bellboy: 229, davidm: 0, brooke: 0)

A little trivia for those of you who haven't already noticed. BTCKING's tables are named after Victoria's Secret Angels  Wink
113  Economy / Gambling / Re: BTCKINGS - bitcoin only poker site on: July 25, 2017, 08:03:48 PM
Look mate, no offense but i think im bit more fammiliar with gambling and software behind the skins since i work in gambling industry for over 10 years now.

Anyone wants to know how Poker Mavens shuffle works just play at two table at the same time, you will find something very interesting. As well try to go 100 (80/20) hands all in against the bot and see who will win 95 % of the time regardless you had better starting hand.

Zenzolina, I just cashed you out, man. For the 3rd time if I'm not mistaken. If what you're saying is right, why the heck are you still playing against our bots at our tables?  Grin Grin Grin
114  Economy / Gambling / Re: BTCKINGS - bitcoin only poker site on: July 25, 2017, 08:00:54 PM
We got a funny email with "FBI" in the subject line from this email address: 8e84m2+9qoelfp6qrcvo@guerrillamail.com

And the fella forgot to include his btc addres .  Grin
Also, is "buro" the same as bureau?  Grin

You have straight 24 hours to credit this adress with 1 BITCOIN. If you fail to do that federal buro will be on your neck within 48 hrs with charges of running illegal poker site (without license), allowing minors to gamble, running bots on poker tables (online fraud).

Kind regards.

P.S. This email adress is not monitored and therefore you will get no further reply from me. At the end of 24hrs timeframe if above bitcoin adress is not credited Federal buro will be auto notified with all needed documentation and info about you as the owner and about your online fraud.

My withdrawal was not as quick. It took around half a day to get it confirmed but it's not too bad. (Faster than some fiat sites).

We've been processing all cashouts in a very timely manner lately. Are you saying it took half a day for us to process your request or for the transaction to get confirmed by the miners (something we obviously have not control over)

Thanks for honest answers. I don't know about the rest of the world, but here in Europe, the gambling legislation is one huge cesspit and I don't see it getting better over time. Sometimes it's actually very hard to tell who's breaking a law as
EU is a free trade area => license in one jurisdiction (Malta FTW) should be good enough for all other jurisdictions
that said, national states can actually circumvent this and approve more restrictive regulations if they can prove that those regulations are necessary to protect customers and/or to fight organized crime
this exception was used as a bianco check by many states, who just wanted to raise more taxes by requiring local licenses
minority of those restrictive regulations ended up before CJEU (Court of Justice EU) and consecutively were found to breach EU treaties
however, majority of those restrictive regulations haven't been tested in EU courts and it's very hard to tell, whether or not they breach EU treaties
so the current situations is this: you have some states with restrictive gambling regulations, that claim that every provider that doesn't have local license breaks the law and you have some providers that accept this and some that don't (the latter group claim that they don't need a license due to the fact that local law breaches EU treaties)

One more question: what games/stakes do you currently spread?

Thanks for the explanation. I don't think BTC is properly regulated across the EU, let alone BTC poker rooms. But as I said, we don't want to break any laws and should we get a warning we will comply.
We are based outside of EU/US and so are our servers.

We offer stakes from 1/2 to 2000/4000 (1btc = 1M chips)
117  Economy / Gambling / Re: BTCKINGS - bitcoin only poker site on: July 25, 2017, 07:36:20 PM
Someone yesterday expressed a concern over multiple IP addresses allowed. This has been changed on all tables above 10/20. It has not been changes on small stake tables - up to 10/20 because our bots all share same IP address.

Bots don't collude, they are oblivious and are costing us their weight in gold Cheesy
118  Economy / Gambling / Re: BTCKINGS - bitcoin only poker site on: July 25, 2017, 07:34:00 PM
Regardless fast cashouts this is just another scam bitcoin casino like every other. No integrity at all, no RNG   ...made to take as much bitcoins as possible from people......


No integrity? No RNG?

Would you care to elaborate, why is there no integrity? And how do you think hands are generated and dealt if there's no RNG?

And how would you define a scam casino? I don't know many casinos (although I have come a cross a few in the early days of the internet) that are scam. There's no reason for casinos to scam people out of there money, they already have odds in their favour.

Scamming would be messing with RNG and favouring certain players over others. That would require tampering with the software,  a huge intellectual and IT endeavour - it would require the kind of IT people who work for Google. And if you think someone would go through the trouble just to steal a couple of dollars from you - you need to think again - because you are very wrong.

Thank you for your review eking.

We will always process all cashout requests within 24 hours. In reality it will happen much faster unless you catch us sleeping or traveling Smiley

We like the software, it is fast, easy to maintain and relatively inexpensive to purchase. Again, we are not trying to compete with bigger poker rooms out there, we are just trying to offer beginner-friendly games to players who value anonymity and are familiar with bitcoins.

As mentioned, we don't like bots either and to make things worse they're costing us money. But there's no way around it. Once we have enough real money players we will eliminate the bots altogether.
120  Economy / Gambling / Re: BTCKINGS - bitcoin only poker site on: July 24, 2017, 07:53:22 PM
Chat is only disabled at tables where bots are majority of the players. We will enable chat on all tables when we eliminate the bots one day soon hopefully.

Duplicate IP addresses were ticked off originally, but I think we allowed it temporary for testing purposes. Or maybe when we deployed bots, not sure any more. Will make sure we disable that within the 24 hours. I just tried, but tables have to be offline to make any changes and we have several real players playing.

Thanks for your input.
