Hi All!

I'm pretty new to the whole bitcoin community and so far I'm really excited by what I've seen. Ive been a libertarian and a believer in the Austrian school of economic thought and bitcoin seems right up my ally.

Anyway I was wondering if anyone has any experience or knows anything about poker sites that use bitcoin. Its becomes really hard to play online poker in the US, at least if you want to ever get your money back, and I feel like bitcoin could probably be used to make this more of a reality. Granted the major casinos are supposedly working to real laws against online gambling but in the meantime I think bitcoin poker could be really cool.

I wouldn't play poker for Bitcoin or online at all to be honest, every game could potentially be rigged, of course why would a multi-million online casino cheat in a 50 dollar poker game? The potential is low but we haven't seen online casinos that are this popular in BTC.

In the future we might introduce live poker, we certainly have the power to get it, then it would be a matter of encrypting the stream properly in a secure manner which might prove to be challenging, a high buy-in at the table will also be one of the cons.

www.sealswithclubs.eu is the oldest I know of. Been playing there for a while.

Yeah, I wouldn't mess with anything other than sealswithclubs..... There's some traffic, I've gotten in on some really good overlays in the past, and many fish because this is bitcoin not shark territory!  Grin
