What's your favorite poker site

Right now I am playing   
ACR Poker for tournies and Nitrogen sports for ring games....  I was playing Betcoin but the kinda fucked me on affiliates and I want to find something better with a big playerbase.  I figure ACR is good because they are offering best tourny selection and 60 cryptocurrencies accepted...

5Dimes has soft competition. It also accepts Bitcoin and has been there for a while.

The problem with FIAT sites is the fact that it defeats the (pseudo)anonymity part of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies—it's just a quicker medium to transfer crypto to FIAT poker sites.

It would be nice to have some crypto-exclusive poker room that can actually have 100+ players in cash games but I believe that there's a problem with the overlap of crypto & poker players.For those such sites, I play on BetKing.

Where do you play?

Unfortunately the online poker player base has significantly declined ever since "Black Friday" and games are getting harder and harder (less fish / recreational players).

That being said, 99% of the player base is dominated by 4 companies: Winning Poker Network, Ignition, Chico Poker Network, and The Stars Group.

I will give you a bit of info on each group, as if you plan to play online poker, chances are you will be playing under 1 of these 4 networks.


Winning Poker Network (WPN) - Extremely trusted poker network that has been around for many years. They own Americas Cardroom (ACR), 5Dimes Poker, Black Chip Poker, and True Poker. They are known for their generous deposit bonuses, amazing rewards program, and fast support. However, they restrict some US states from playing and their software isn't the nicest. Players have also said that games are harder on WPN but I cannot say for sure whether this is true or not.

Ignition Poker - Includes Ignition Poker and Bovada Poker. They used to be separate websites but a while ago Bovada combined the 2 player bases. They are known for extremely fast payouts, a generous deposit bonus, and they have the largest US player base. However, they also have the worst rakeback % and its clear they are aiming for recreational players.

Chico Poker Network - These guys own BetOnline Poker and sportsbetting.ag. They have smaller player bases but are very generous in their freerolls and bonuses. In addition, they are one of the few networks to serve the entire USA.


I left The Stars Group last for a reason. Although they are the most widely used , a large portion of the world are no longer allowed to play on them due to government restrictions. This includes the US and Australia. If you live in a country where you can play on their sites, definitely do so as they have by far the largest player bases, but if you cannot you would have to use one of the 3 networks above.

The Stars Group - The Stars Group are pioneers of the online poker world. They have by far the largest player base even after black friday. Their main site is Pokerstars but they also acquired FullTilt a couple years ago. There are basically no problems with them and thousands of games per day, but as I said before the biggest problem is a large population of poker players cannot play on Pokerstars or FullTilt due to government restrictions.

Recently I'm playing at betking.io because there is a great weekly promotion, with the promotion there are some active cash games although not that much. Hopefully the promo will affect its traffic, so it will be a great place to play poker with crypto.
Talking about favorite, I still love a local fiat poker sites because there are so many active players all the time. The site also has nice jackpot as well and some bonuses, unfortunately it is only for Indonesian only as the accepted payment method is local bank transfer.

well it really depends on what you are looking for , I will give you a list of what sites do I use

for sit n goes I play on ACR and Betonline , the traffic for sit n goes is good unlike bitcoin sites where sit n goes never run at all
for MTTs I also play in ACR and sometimes I play in bitcoin sites when I see that there is a value in playing them , but most bitcoin MTTs don't suit my timezone
for Cash you can play all of the sites , just try to have more value for example highly rakeback or a leaderboard like betking and note that nitrogen has been accused that they have bots for their cash games

so you should really try all the sites and play where you find more value , can't really picks a specific site but ACR has all the games you need

Seldom playing on poker because the event really takes time but I played for a while on betking and swcpoker, both of this is having really good tourney and everything is so smooth. Betcoin.ag, I played it there for a while but after some issues I startes to move to betking right now. Not just because of they have the best on everything but I kind of believe what they done with their dice before so I played it there

Also had the same problem, until I found America's card room, a poker room that accepts players from all countries except the USA( really ironic), and they support cash games.

Moreover, there are huge amount of players in-game as they are open to all kinds of players and not to cryptocurrency community only( they allow people to deposit and withdraw both bitcoins and fiat).
Would suggest you to have a look.

[bratko99]

I would say Betcoin.
The main reason that they accept like 6 coins. Ethereum, Dash and other...
Was really useful when BTC fees were crazy high. Maybe there aren't so many players, but yea enough for a game lol

[bul168]

My favorite site is Carbon poker. They accept BTC and have the best software after stars. Also player pool is kind of weak in terms of cash games. You can easily find yourself playing with 5 recreationals at nl100/200 tables during the weekend. Their downside is they have small player base and they charge 3% on bitcoin withdrawals.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

Pokerstars. I can’t wait for some other site to compete seriously with it but until then, I’ll keep playing there. Unless they raise rake so much that it becomes impossible to profit.

The problem with crypto sites is traffic and also that anonymity makes collusion easier.

Absolutely correct! The main reason should be they accept 6 coins and not that they are a publicly proven scam!

[socks435]

I couldn't find any the best poker site and you already mention what poker sites are the best, but for me, nitrogen sports is the best as of now that I trust and the affiliates are good not the same what you experience in Betcoin.

Like the other said the only way you can play other poker sites is to use fiat or use bitcoin debit cards that you can use for depositing and convert to usd just to play poker in well-known sites like 888 poker.

[Lionidas]

I would need to say I like poker at 64spades if anybody has heard of it before.
If not I would suggest you join in when they are having a tournament because it is great to watch and if there is a seat available to even play in a session.
You can tip other players if you like after if your winning streak is going into profit.

I enjoy Americas Card Room (ACR) and the other WPN group skin Black Chip Poker (BCP).  They currently accept over 60 different coins for deposits and are pretty quick with withdrawals too.  I also enjoy playing on Nitrogen Sports and 64 spades some times, and am going to be trying betking.io soon too   Good luck where ever you play!

Why do you not play the casino games at ACR or BCP and instead advertise your affiliate links for a casino based in Africa without license and reachability?

[YepImNaked]

I live in the US and play mixed games, so SwC Poker is the only place I can play.  As a bonus, they also spread OFC!  :-)

I've been playing in Nitrogen for many years, but lately, it has become kind of tricky, for they just refuse to give your money when you want to withdraw your earnings. Every time I've won something from the last months, they accused me of something or make some excuse in order to forbid me to take my cash.
Bitking.io is a really nice platform, but the freerolls seem to have ended in there. Nevertheless, it is an amazing place.
I will check out the other sites proposed in here, thanks for opening the thread.

[itsamemario]

ACR and Nitrogen it is!

[Temujhin]

nowadays I like poker88 site, maybe if there is a better online site with anti bot detector and give security of player comfort, and more game will i search 😉

I never heard of they confiscate any number of withdrawal. The recent of their pending withdrawal last time is due to the checking whether they are cheating or not. Last time if I not mistaken there is some issue like this too but in the end they already fix it and pay them well enough. So I do not think you must have some problem with them because it is more than once they confiscate your withdrawal
