Have you heard about our ground breaking Freebuy Super Series? We’re having the second one with $150,000 GTD from August 28th-September 6th!
Everyone with an Americas Cardroom account who registers in a tourney gets a free starting stack, with real money rebuys and add-ons also available. Check this great promo at http://www.americascardroom.eu/online-poker-promotions/freebuys-super-series-ii/

Sounds like a great tournament. Any chance you guys are considering launching a mac client or an online client for us Apple users in the future ?

For the time being, our software is not compatible with MAC/Apple. We are working on this version as we constantly receive requests for it. Currently we do not have an estimated time for when it will be ready, but we will send your query over so our programmers see how important this still is to our players.

You could use an emulator to run the poker software. These are two options we located:

1. bootcamp - this requires a copy of windows to install
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/

2. Parallels - http://www.parallels.com/landingpage/dskd63-5/?source=g_69&gclid=CPnb-uKEqqgCFQjs7QodjlzDHA

We are working hard on providing the best poker experience, so this version is already within our plans for future releases.
I haven't had a good experience with the emulators  and don't really find it much worth to install them only for playing poker on one particular software.
Will definitely vote in for the mac client as I am sure a lot of other users use macs and non-windows operating systems.

First put your BTC in a gambling for 1.01 odd. Next withdraw your earning to an altcoin exchange and buy Monero/Darkcoin. Then withdraw your altcoin to another exchange and sell. At last withdraw BTC to your newly created address.
A combination of a mixer and a gambling site would be enough for making your coins completely untraceable as well. And you really don't have to make a bet on a casino site to withdraw.

126  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is it illegal to purchase and use the Gift Cards, ie Starbucks, Steam? on: August 06, 2015, 07:26:42 PM

1st of all, all those suppliers giving incredible low rates are all suppliers of a carded card.

Meaning the balance on those will not last long, and sure its "illegal" to purchase but whos looking over you? its why so many do it anyways.

Appearently the companies self are looking over you, as they most of the time find these illegal used gift card codes and deduct the balance. Then you've lost money instead you win a little bit. Just try and go for official ones Wink.

Recentely someone has shown me https://www.egifter.com/. Looks valid to me Wink.

Op already seems to be aware of carded gift cards and asked if he will be held responsible. Just to add I have spoken to someone who had an expired gift card while making a purchase and the company didn't ask any questions. They just told him the card is no longer valid or is blocked and to use another method of payment.

There is also CESHEO a school in Cambodia who I have donated to before.

They accept dogecoin, and I am sure would also likely be up for bitcoin. They also have a great initiative to provide education

Would like to suggest reading up this http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/12559/legal-issues-banking-issues-selling-bitcoins-to-people-otc
for the legality issues of selling or trading bitcoin.
130  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is it illegal to purchase and use the Gift Cards, ie Starbucks, Steam? on: August 05, 2015, 10:01:15 PM
Hi, I see that there are a lot of gift cards being sold for BTC, I can see $200 Starbucks gift card for $50 in BTC.

Not sure how they can sell at this amount, but if the cards are obtained fraudulently, and someone buy and use it,  are the buyer held reliable?
I haven't ever heard anyone getting arrested for using those cards. But you can always make up an excuse like you bought them off craigslist incase you are worried. Since so many cards are fraudulent ones, those big companies generally would likely never pursue you legally for using them.
131  Economy / Gambling / Re: NitrogenSports.eu - SPORTSBOOK | POKER | BLACK JACK on: August 05, 2015, 08:06:40 PM
Just another suggestion for the poker tournaments happening on Nitrogen. Can you guys change the rate at which the blinds increase ? It is too fast right now and with a starting stack of 1500 , you are just left with only 10 BB's right after the first 5-10 minutes. Makes it more of a gamble rather than a skill game.

Every time i start an investment to a dice games, the site closes investments feature  Sad And now where invest ? I like only btc investment
There are many alternates if you are considering. Moneypot / bitdice are a few of them. Would suggest moneypot as its a very popular option these days . You would still want to do your own research into how much you are willing to trust them for .
133  Economy / Gambling / Re: How could you find Investors/Funders for gambling website? on: August 05, 2015, 06:45:36 PM
Like others suggested Moneypot is probably the best way. Otherwise it becomes really difficult to get investment as there is always a big risk for investors to invest in an anonymous site. Over time chances might increase but it still depends on how active and dedication of the developer is. I really like what moneypot has been offering for sites. If everyone can trust moneypot, then thats probably the best thing. Apart from this I don't think its illegal to start a company to invest in different sites , perhaps they can register themselves as a company , which likely will make them more trustworthy.

How fast are bitcoin deposit and withdrawals through your site?
Wasn't able to test and confirm this, but the deposit times for sites depend entirely on what processor they are using and how many confirmations they require for the deposit to be confirmed and added to the user balance account. Usually its in the range of 1-3 deposit confirmations. Unless it is manually done later, I am sure it will be within that range.
135  Economy / Digital goods / Re: STARBUCKS GIGITAL CODE BULKS on: August 03, 2015, 09:58:25 PM
How many of these starbucks egift cards do you have?  Do they function like normal gift cards in that they are stackable and have no expiration?
Most of these cards will have an expiry in a few hours upto a day as they are mostly carded. Once Starbucks figures that out, they freeze the funds on the cards.

Maybe there is some new rule that says more than x sitoutted hands you get cutter off?

If there is a rule, especially a rule that is inconsistent with every other poker site in the world, it needs to be explained on their site or at the very least on here so everyone can understand and abide by it.  If it's a bug they need to say "oops" and explain/correct it (and I'd assume compensate individuals affected by it, which to be honest they have been very good about doing since the rebranding).  To have this sitting around unanswered, especially with support making a post several hours ago, is very odd.

I've definitely seen this with players who register and never play.  That they get removed after a certain time period and their entry fee refunded.  However, yes, if he played at least one hand, it seems really weird to remove him and his chips.  PaulC should hopefully speak up for himself on this one though, his account of it would be just as relevant as whatever support wants to say.

Most sites will remove you if you miss x hands, so it seems normal to me. Otherwise people would sign up, play one hand, and then leave and hope they make it ITM before getting knocked out.

I remember an article on Pokerstars on this matter. Definitely a strategy that can land you in the money but most of the times its close to the bubble or you are the one getting bubbled , hence its not worth the risk. Also I find that with the field size of the tournaments on bitcoin poker sites, this strategy is mostly going to cause a loss as in a game with 10 people you will likely not just sit out and get into the top 2 or 3. Might only work for freerolls where a lot more people register.

I was under the impression we were talking about freerolls. Was going to ask what risk you meant (as, for example, people sign up for freerolls when they're leaving/sleeping and just let it run -- I've seen a few people make it ITM like this, too).
Ah ok didn't see any mention of freerolls and rather saw a mention about return of buyins so thought this for for cash tournies . From what I remember Seals didn't use to kick you if you were not active in the Krillrolls. Did they change that at the new site ?
I always have seen that most of the other poker sites always had this feature though.

138  Economy / Digital goods / Re: Selling Starbucks Giftcards! Physical Card! Canada on: August 01, 2015, 04:29:07 PM
These are all physical cards which are obtained through the compa
ny itself, I only have around $475 dollars worth.

I'm selling the cards at 40%($100 card at $60)

BTC only, Localbit will be used as escrow.
Can the balances also be moved onto other cards by giving the details online ? Also do they work in US ?

Yes, but the $100 CDN funds will only get you around $77 is US purchases (SBX devalues it to local cost) so you'd basically be paying $60 US for $77 US unless he takes the asking price in USD which would be around $46 equivelant.  Aside from that the fact they are physical cards doesn't mean much because you can convert any of the cards bought for $20 here or other places into a physical card at any SBX company store but they can still be shut down just as fast because SBX does track them back through transfers. There is no way to know for sure where or how the original funds originated even if there were receipts available unless he had receipts that show that they were purchased with cash or a credit card and not just loaded from another card or e-gift.



I don't think he ever said that on USD discount would be less. It would probably be the same discount even if they are converted to USD .
Still waiting for a reply from the op.

Showing a cold wallet address doesn't mean anything as the shady operator can still choose not to payout. We have been around for 1+ years (closer to 2 years) and never have any unresolved withdrawal issues. Our reputation speaks louder than anything.

What do you have to lose? There is no issue showing the cold storage right?

Looks like he answered you very well there. Just showing a cold storage address also doesn't mean that if they have the funds then they will pay you . It all comes down to how much you trust the site and how long it has been there.
