All users that have posted so far have received their 200 free chips.  There are still a few more chips left if anyone wants to try out the site.

There are now some low stakes SNG tournaments.  And there is a low stakes ring game as well, with a 40 chip buy-in, 2 chip BB (0.0004 BTC buy-in and 0.00002 BTC big blind, you can't get much lower than that!).


Firefox 11 and higher is supported and I works fine for me.  Any browser that supports HTML5 should work, including IE 10+, FireFox 11+ (Windows/Android), Chrome 14+ (Windows/Android/iOS), Opera 12.1+, Safari 6+ (Mac/iOS).  Tablets and smartphones are also supported.

I send you a PM to see if we can figure out the problem.

Yes, there are a few bots running on the site to help get things started.  I didn't really think of them as a bonus, but I suppose they are  

You're on a pretty good roll.  You won the first freeroll last night worth 2500 chips (0.025 BTC), and taken home a nice stack of bitcoins as well.  Congrats!

Thanks Cosmowright for the kind words and recommendation!!!  You made my day


I'm going to start adding tournaments today.  Do you have any requests for what you'd like to see?

0.025 BTC Freeroll starts in 20 minutes.  So far only 7 people are registered.  Those are pretty good odds if you want to sign-up and play.

0.025 BTC Freerolls

You asked for them.  I'm happy to announce our first two 2,500 chip (0.025 bitcoin) freerolls!

Starting today, and everyday at 8pm and 11pm EST (-0500 UTC).  If these times aren't good for you, let me know what time you'd like to see.

These freerolls are open to anyone that makes a deposit.  See your "Poker" page for your access code.  Soon we'll have a reward point system in place, but for now this is the best way to reward the active players.

Thanks for your questions!

1.  Emails are needed so you don't get locked out of your account (and your bitcoins).  Without email there is no way to verify the account owner and reset your password.  That's the main reason, but it's also needed for most of the social features on the site to notify you about friend requests, forum posts, etc.  If you're really against it, you can enter a fake email and you'll still be able to register.

2.  The site is only a few days old, and I haven't done any promotions other than posting here on Bitcointalk.  There are currently 10 ring games with a wide variety of buy-in levels.  There is a freeroll starting tonight (see my next post!) and I'll be announcing some tournaments in the next few days.  I expect you'll be seeing a lot more players online soon.

Thanks again for your questions and if you have any other thoughts I'd be very happy to hear them!

Thanks for your interest in the site.  I'm really excited about the launch and to see people trying it out.

Everyone that's posted so far has received their free 200 chips.  It's not too late if you still want some free chips!

The freeroll should be up and running today.  Stay tuned...

200 free chips sent to gweedo, Tripptro, naphto, NLNico, and 4aabcde.  Thanks for your interest!

If you have any suggestion or ideas for improvement please let me know.

I'll submit a request with the software author and see it's a feature that can be added in the future.

btcbonanza - 200 chips sent!

Gweedo - Thanks for the correction.  You're right, my understanding of "provably fair" was wrong and I used the phrase incorrectly.  I apologize.  I'll see if I can edit my original post to correct the error.

The site does use Poker Mavens software.  They provide a card shuffling simulator to test the system, but that doesn't make it "provably fair."  I would like to offer a "provably fair" system in the future and will investigate how that might be possible.

Thanks FanEagle for the suggestion.  I'll have a freeroll setup by Monday.

I really like the idea of giving away some chips for people to try it out.  So...

200 Chips Free for the first 100 people to:

1.  Sign-up at bitcoinpoker.io
2.  Post your username in this thread

Then I'll send you your 200 free chips!  You'll be able to play some games and try the system out.

Hello,

I'm starting a Bitcoin Poker website called BitcoinPoker.io.

You're probably thinking, "Do we really need another bitcoin poker site?  I like SealsWithClubs just fine thanks."

This will be different.  Think Facebook + SealsWithClubs.

I've always felt that the the social aspect of poker is what makes it such a great game, and that current sites just let you play the game.  The social part it what makes it that much more fun.

I hope to post about the upcoming launch in the next few days!
