Can you please specify the Poker Site that keep closing? And also I don't know why you connecting bitcoin rising in what poker site suffered? Anyway this is my answer to your questions : I think the main reason here why poker site suffer because of rising bitcoin price.

Well maybe because most gamblers nowadays wants to play i a casino where there are other games to choose to.
If you want to play poker, there are other sites like fortunejack. If you want other games, You can check bitdice by clicking the signature I have. They have other games like dice, slots, etc.

I'm sure that a poker site would close due to many reasons, it's hard to pinpoint when we don't know more.
Let us know the names of these 2 poker sites and there is more than likely a reasonable explanation for why they closed.

Better to name names of those sites that you are referring so that we can figure out and gives our own thoughts about that certain closure of those sites that you have visited. I don't think it has something to do with the Trump administration or if they are living on a certain country that starts to ban online gambling, well who knows.

betcoin.ag bitcoin poker would have closed as well already, if they would not make $100,000s with not paying progressive Betsoft jackpots.

Their bitcoin poker section itself would be not profitable with the low margin and all the advertisement costs.

Let us know the names of these 2 poker sites and there is more than likely a reasonable explanation for why they closed.

There are many reason that a site will be closing.

1st: Out of funds (legit) or They gather enough money to run (scammed)
2nd: Poor security, someone penetrated their system and steal info about there player or much worst, steal money from their wallet.
3rd: DDoS Problems, competitors DDoSed their site. And the site decided to stay down forever. That's why it is down.

But the common thing is they gather enough money to run from you that's why they are closed. So be careful on a site you trust.

I would say there are plenty of factors. But what I think is that as a poker site they should bring on some reward programmes ,special freerolls for specific level users to not only keep the interest of their current users but also to attract some more poker players. Well I don't want to take much of a side of betcoin.ag but they have good poker system with freerolls and rewards and same is for nitrogensports.eu which often rolls out special freerolls. With that much things poker sites who are not able to think of such reward programmes or aren't able to pull much of a profit always lose their interest in running poker site and best example is luckyflop.

There are still plenty of sites which offer bitcoin poker and it will be hard to find out actual reason behind shutdown of poker sites you are talking about. You can search for alternatives if you like to play and it is always suggested not to left anything in your wallet of your casino if you are not going to play there for long period.

Wondering the same thing, but I think it is because there is only few bitcoin poker players compared to fiat poker players. What I see, fiat poker sites has more active players than bitcoin poker sites. Seems that it is hard to attract fiat players to move to bitcoin sites. Maybe they are comfortable already with their fiat sites and hard for them to move to somewhere else.

most of the times whenever a site like these that are running a business close down, is because they couldn't make their business profitable and they were losing money. and the reason for that is mostly because the owners are not experienced enough to do it.

in case of a poker site my guess is that people are not so interested in playing poker "online" because it can easily be cheated and it is no fun playing it online compared to face to face poker.

Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip.
Whales are those who keep buying the dip.

Yes, OP is missing out to state the examples, moreover I do not find any famous poker sites were closing their services.

Yet, now a days commonly most gamblers prefer lazy and quick games, that might be a prime reason why dice sites are surging up and other logical sites are going down. Probably sports betting are exception here as they are mostly easy and profitable for any gambler.

These sites suffer because they don't have enough users playing in their site less players means less money for them. Maybe the owner lost interest on continuing the site that's why they close. Also there's more games to play here than poker.

they are closing because of too many cheaters
you can't play a freeroll without several accounts belonging to same player or his "friend"
but the main reason would probably be the competition,only the largest ones survive,rest are simply not profitable
and are shutting down

Most bitcoin users aren't interested in poker, it's not a very popular game in the bitcoin gambling world.

However, have you looked at https://swcpoker.eu/? It's a bitcoin poker site that you might want to check out. It's well known, but you'll have to download their client.

Maybe you should be more specific. Like which sites are closed and which site did you previously played on. I guess this is because most poker gambling sites don't really get that much patrons into the site. Most people don't like gambling on poker online unlike in real life. There are a lot of aspects missing in online poker than in real life poker, like bluffing. You can't bluff as effective in online poker.

What were the old site you using ? I too not find any hard time for poker sites both in trend among gamblers and regulations wise. Things are as it is unless your particular site had any specific problem with their business.
