i think the main reason for it is because playing poker online is not much fun. you are either a professional poker player and really enjoy the game which means you like the face to face better and will only play online if you have to. or you are a newbie who won't have a good time playing against others who are more experienced. this means losing and losing means leaving the game.

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. I think poker is a famous game in gambler world, but the player want is not the one player poker against computer, they like to play PVP poker, that is why zynga poker used to be very famous, but like others said it is difficult to prevent cheaters when you play PVP games

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. I dont agree with you that poker sites are closing because of bitcoin price rising, their is no relation between bitcoin price and poker sites closing, Poker sites are working on person to person playing way where they take some percentage of table. It is only due to some sites are creating their own bot to play against the real player and ripping them and making them lose the bitcoins this way they are scamming that is why their site gets closed

Could you maybe recommendate some CryptoCurrency poker sites that offer low tables and are trustworthy? I just can't seem to find any site at all that are using BTC as main currency..
(with the exclusion of betcoin.ag, that's the only poker site i can find that has people playing, but holy guacamole that site is shady..)
If my memory is correct, then NitrogenSports is the only real option for you. SWC has low traffic (from what I've personally seen) and FortuneJack's lowest blinds are these weird 0.11/0.22 mBTC tables. Since you're looking for low tables, I assume you mean more micro-stakes, but regardless of what level you're at, trying to do math on these tables is absolutely abysmal and a pain in the ass. (Following rates are in mBTC) NS goes from 2 NL, 10 NL, 20 NL, 50 NL, 100 NL, 2/4/10 -- 00 NL (and then there's ridiculously high stakes which I wouldn't recommend) Avoid Betcoin.ag at all costs, of course.

Launching a gaming site is exponentially more difficult now than before. You have to have a lot of knowledge of the industry as well as deep pockets to get to the point where it is sustainable. Affiliates are more expensive than ever, as well as third party products such as payment gateways, software providers, hosting, DDos protection etc. The monthly minimums on providers can be difficult to keep up with. So, my best guess is lack of funding and knowledge.

Why not just go to pokerstars they have national recogition so you know they won't go down anytime soon. And with Ronaldo as a mascot you know they have the money to stay and remain online for many years. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Probably this is what is happening, there does not seem to be a lot of point in waiting for a small tournament to start when on those sites a small tournaments can start in less than a minute thanks to his huge user base.

There is no connection on what you stated that poker sites are suffering because of the price increase that is happening in bitcoin nowadays. In most of the cases, a poker site is sending email for their users about the closure that will happen to the site so that withdrawals may be requested prior to the shutting down. Some are turning to fraud without a notice. And in some cases, problems with traffic, few users, depleted bankroll etc. If you mentioned those old sites you are talking too then maybe we can get a clearer view about it. P.S Bitcoin is pricing since the beginning even without Trump entering the scene ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

Poker was forced to leave the US market at this time. Prior to the seizure, Poker could not legally provide service to U.S. residents, but they continued to for a time because it was profitable and because that law was difficult to enforce with them operating entirely outside the United States. maybe The company is acquired a European Union gambling not license through Malta.

That could be it but we must also remember that some bitcoin casinos are not regulated at all and we don't know who owns them, so for those casinos regulations and stuff like that are not an impediment.

Some times non regulated means the freedom for anyone any place in the world can play. So it has it uses when the owners can be trusted but if they can't then its a prob if they run with your money.

There are lots of popker sites around which are reliable and working perfectly. You should check some that were suggested and also others about which you can read browsing this forum. I'm new to this poker thing and keep being amazed by the amount of different tournaments one can take part in.

So would you say it's not wise to develop a "poker only" site? Like it would be more ideal to integrate Poker to a big gambling site.

what site did you played before? i think there are many good site and recommended site to playing poker. its normal if one site is closed and i think its maybe because the site can not reach member or can not make a good profit for them so they close the site. i think poker sites is not suffering but maybe they can compete with other poker sites so they can continue the business.

I think for now it is not a good idea it needs a big casino or more games if you start a new business gambling.. you should add more games not only poker.. there is 10table release that i seen in gambling section here that if you register you can count who are gamble that honestly the game will not start because of luck of players..

Because the poker boom happened in 2003 and the sites that established themselves in that time are the ones who have survived, due to network effect also. BTC sites have only been around after 2010 its hard to get a player base. What we need is for BTC games to run on all sites in BTC.

Are they clearing their mess? Giving a big payout really hard to do though even though for big site like them. But if it comes to poker i really think that they have a great support because from the start they mostly focus on poker than other games
