Well we can see a lot of ICOs related to poker. I think we will see a huge increase of poker rooms soon. However, I am not sure, but it looks that online poker is slowly losing its popularity, so maybe there isn't many interest in opening such sites/platforms. But after all, it's only my personal opinion.
I really doubt that we'll see any popular Bitcoin poker rooms popping up any time soon, the popularity of poker in general has been going down for a couple of years now. Combine that with the fact that there's only one really popular platform and it makes sense that no-one is willing to invest in opening up a poker website in Bitcoin. I'm also thinking that it's way easier and more profitable to just set-up a regular casino. You don't tend to make much money from the rake as a casino, especially not if you don't have too many active players. I'm sure Pokerstars makes quite a lot, but they are the largest.

I don't even know, I also really think that a lot of people are looking for bitcoin poker site because it would be fun and exciting to play poker with bitcoin. However, a lot of people might lose a lot of bitcoin because of this. I think it is profitable to establish a bitcoin poker site because a lot of gamblers would surely go crazy.

so I have asked myself this question a thousand time , some bitcoin gambling sites are having great success but yet we fail to see a single good poker room after seals with clubs stopped ( wasn't that good but comparing it with these times it was great )
we see thousands of bitcoins being gambled daily on sites like primedice , betkings , nitrogen ...etc but yet we don't have a single succeful poker site ( nitrogen room isn't good especially with that software they are using )
why the sites admins here aren't going for that ?? bitcoin poker can destroy all the big sites
I see a lot of poker pros like Dougpolk , Kevin Martin , Mike McDonald ...etc are investing in bitcoin and other crypto so even big players will tend to play more bitcoin poker if there are some active sites
I hope to hear from the admins of the big sites as well , like stunna and dooglus is it hard to launch a poker site ??
That's because online poker is dead. Even Pokerstars', the biggest online poker site, traffic has been going down over the years. That's because the players have realized that it's easy to play tight ABC poker, and fish are very few now. So as games become tighter, not much money changed hands. Then more and more players lose interest. Tbh, poker can be quite boring if you have been playing long enough. No I dont agree. It is not dead. We are dead. Converting every bitcoin to dollar is why we are regretting every satoshi that we gamble. It became just an asset and dont want to spend it anymore or gamble it. That is the problem here. This gambling sites that we support could also go that way if all the bitcoin users will think like this. We got to push it more to usage. It is not dead. Just dont know how the stakes will be given considering the price fluctuations are too much.

Usually bitcoin websites only care about dice and that's not good, some of them started thinking about sports betting and other games lately. I think another reason js that people don't care much about that but personally I find bitcoin for poker better and more funnier than simple currency. It will be great when you can bet 100 bits, 1000 and etc, playing on low but potentially high valuable money (btc). I think if more people request it, they will concider it like bitsler did it once on burstcoin.

It's going down also because of no place to play poker with our bitcoins here. I'm pretty sure when we got a huge big bitcoin poker sites, many people will back gambling on poker and gather on that bitcoin poker site. Maybe we will got that a big bitcoin poker site in the future.

Not like there are no bitcoin poker games in most of these sites, but I really wish there can be a multiplayer poker game on these sites. At least with that we know we are playing against ourselves and not directly with what the platform is dealing us. I have tried it several times but man, no matter what you do, you can hardly win. So with that, I would better just stick to dice instead or other games which I think is what has really made dice to be more popular than all these other games.

There are so many sites offering bitcoin poker. At least I know of cryptogames. So we cannot really say we do not have bitcoin poker. The only difference here is you are not playing with another player but with the system and we all know that we cannot beat the house edge most especially when it comes to playing directly with the platform. It may be provably fair, who knows really ?

I think it has a ton to do with player traffic i would say. The bitcoin Poker community is probably rather large but it is stretched out over numerous sites and they can never seem to all come together. Seals With clubs was a great site for the introductory bitcoin poker player. If you searched bitcoin poker, SWC was always the number one site found. I think we've seen quite a few good poker clients come and go but it seems like the players are reluctant to give them a shot.

Yeah, your thinking is right, but in my thinking most of poker lover is here, but they don't want to play poker in bitcoin poker sites. May be we see less traffic is here and that's why we think in bitcoin gambling poker game has less player other than games.

Traffic = profit = more money to develop better site. The traffic is all at pokerstars though, they have like 80-90% of market.

Video poker is something like the real poker for the beginners because it allows you to play all the tips and tricks that gamblers use in real pokers so one cannot say that it has no use. Also it consists of all the rules and regulations as in real poking so it’s a good platform to learn what poking is. If these pokers were totally different from real ones then no one would have been using them but on checking, we see millions of users there.

Take it from someone who has won thousands of USD at both - none of what you've said here is true. You may be reading "video poker" as "online poker"? Video poker is a slot machine game. It is nothing like poker.

Poker has not a higher playing ratio than other games in gambling because people didn’t understand all the rules and regulations of this game after playing for one or two times.
