What are the most popular bitcoin-only poker sites?

[suzanne5223]

No need to look further than SwC in my opinion.

They are generally considered to be the best poker room when it comes to crypto deposits and withdrawals. Solid track record.

If you do go with others you are probably going to find a lack of actual players and/or issues that have sprung up in the past.

Aside from the lack of fundamental players. The first number one thing every gambler must make her priority is the reputation and honesty of the gambling site she wants to use which will guarantee that her winning to pay whenever she requested for withdrawing.

We do all matters with legitimacy and since we are talking against with other players then this wont be an issue about fairness or something.The most common site we do prefer specially in Poker is most SwC would be the place.

Its been here on this market for a while and they had attained that reputation which had built out with time.Nitro isnt really that also a bad choice but due to some service issue
then i had long time turned my back on this one.

Some sites been mentioned above but i dont actually have the experience on playing into those places.

Yes, you are right but I was talking about things like service issues and the poker site fulfilling their terms and conditions which are the time to be the top priority of every gambler. However, I know we very well, their service, etc. Besides, I'm among those that work for them before on this forum.

One of the most popular and played bitcoin poker site is SwC Poker. It was established on the year 2012 and it was the first one to be the site of bitcoin only poker. Hence, we can technically say that it was the founder of bitcoin poker concept that is used nowadays in different sites. However, the disadvantage of swc is that it has no official license but it redeems itself with the payout, software, and game variations.

Being a bitcoin-only poker means it only accepts bitcoin and you can only withdraw bitcoin from winning. The moment you deposit bitcoin, they will exchange/convert it to chips in which you can use to play on the site. The rake is up to 50% and it's a pretty decent percentage because it also accumulates as you collect Krill in the game. There are other bitcoin-only sites out there but so far this is one of the most popular. I would love to know other sites which has a good rake system and traffic.

Hi
I do think all the Bitcoin only poker site that are existing are already mentioned here by everyone but there is a new noteworthy competition, which might come from ConsenSys backed poker platform which instead of Bitcoins would be using other cryptocurrencies like Etherum.
They have already secured a lot of investment as well. According to the site, apparently 5 million for the virtual platform. They will have virtue poker being set up which was originally launched in 2016 but only getting bigger right now. ( Apparently it launched on a bigger basis in May 2021) { this was the news 6 months back https://cointelegraph.com/news/consensys-backed-poker-platform-secures-5m-investment/amp}
It's in the market but I have not seen much hype about that right now as well. Have anyone used it ? Well I do believe if you are unable to look for a good Bitcoin based poker website, you can try virtue poker as well.

Well, in the meanwhile there has been come up some bitcoin-only poker sites, but really popular is no one of those as far as I know.
I am a passionate poker player (online and offline) and I have been playing for years on sites like pokerstars etc. When I looked up for a crypto-only poker rooms and tried some, I was almost always disappointed. The only site I found halfway good was blockchain.poker.

Well so far I still use it and sometimes often play at Swc Poker which is much more fun. There are many choices for playing Poker, but for me to play Bitcoin poker, I still use the two sites above. Oh, I also played at Grand Poker but the ROI level was still inferior to Swc Poker which was the favorite.

I can't believe that there are people who really play online casinos.

Even now, many people has more involved or drawn with online casinos during this pandemic because of the lockdown they can't go to casinos personally. Data shows that more people has been gambling into online casinos since the pandemic to relieve stress or because of boredom of just staying at home.

In addition to your post, even before the pandemic there are already online casinos that has been established and making money legitimately.

I agree, that until now I still couldn't find a poker gambling place with a high enough ROI like Swc poker. I've been using Swc for a long time and haven't had any issues with gambling, both when I'm betting my Bitcoins and even when I'm making withdrawals. That's pretty good a recommendation for anyone who wants to play Poker.

If you don't believe and really don't know it, that online gambling is now popular even though online gambling has been around for a long time and you don't realize it, have you just been born into the world so you really don't know?
Especially during the pandemic, online gambling is an alternative choice for physical gambling lovers because physical gambling is closed during the pandemic and besides that various advertisements and gambling sites have been circulating everywhere and also on social media that offer bets using crypto and fiat.

Online gambling is the most popular form of gambling at the moment as the covid 19 pandemic has forced people to stay at home and maintaining social distances, And poker games happened to be the most preferable choice of many players since it requires less skills to play.

I can't believe that there are people who really play online casinos.

So what's the problem with online casinos if we've been playing at online casinos for a number of years? do you only visit physical casinos? It's impossible if you don't know the online casino at all. Or it's unfortunate how you view online casinos as mere forms of gambling. We are looking for more fun.
But if you really haven't, don't give it a try if you don't want to be addicted and can't control your emotions. Usually people who are not familiar with online casinos are much more curious.

^ Before I saw someone hosted a tournament in Swc Poker room here in the forum but now I don't see maybe they have been stopped already.
Playing poker online is really have fun, it is totally different from the physical casino. You cant even bluff your opponent for the chances of winning, the best with poker is on the player-to-player not against on the house edge. You can apply your skills here and you guessing power just to increase your chances of winning. Swc poker room is quite a good thou.

[dittoup]

In general I would advice against playing poker on a unregulated site. Unless you play for pennies and fine with the possibility of being cheated by other players.

Big sites like Pokerstars, I-poker and GGPoker spend a lot of resources on keeping the games fair and free from bots.
If you play on a site that doesn't require KYC the chances are much higher of running into collusion or other forms of cheating. Its not enough to just trust the site, like in sportsbetting and casino, but you also have to trust that they have a good team that spend a lot of effort and resources to pick out the bad apples. Which is something I do not think they have.

1. SwC Poker
2. Nitrogen Sports

The two Bitcoin poker sites that you see are both the best and are often used by gambling addicts, SwC Poker also offers various types of poker that you can play, one of them: 8s, hold'em, PL Big O, Badeucy, OFC, Big O/8 and of course many others, to get you excited about poker betting.

But you have to control yourself when making poker bets at SWC, if you don't control, you can be sure your chip can be empty without realizing it, in SWC, most people are too relaxed and ambitious to make bets, because there are too many types of games, so if you choose a poker gambling site SwC Poker and Nitrogen Sports, try to be professional and aware, it's gambling.

There's a huge number of online casino players, especially during this pandemic where there are restrictions and gamblers couldn't go to physical casinos. It might not sound as loud as the traditional casinos but online casinos are actually providing convenience for most players. We're now in the modern days where we could find everything online.

I don't know. The marketing tactic or allure of physical casinos can't really be compared to online casinos. With physical casinos, you are using more of your senses. Its not just typing/clicking on your keyboard but so in some physical casinos you can see and touch your winnings.

It makes a big difference, psychologically. Its like that psychological thing where you spend more money online than you would if you had the physical cash in your hands. It just feels less real therefore, worth less.

I was active there when they started, but after a while, I lost passion and I just quit playing there! At that time I thought this can be the next big thing... decentralized poker, their own coin, but looks like people didn't like it a lot! Even now after years, not many people know about them, so I can only guess they didn't do a good marketing plan!

Anyone plays here, are they worth trying them again or not?

Online casino born because of the pandemic and this is just a way for every casino establishments to continue the operation of their business despite of the restrictions for minimum health protocol. It's true that there's a big difference between gambling inside a casino premises than gambling online but at some point these kind of gambling activities made online delighted every gamblers because they can still gamble even inside their home. However, in another country restrictions are already lifted and other gambling business were back to operation.

They had a lot of bad reviews and unhappy players a couple of years back but still operating today. They never outright stole player funds but shady behavior indeed. You find several threads about them on different poker forums where players had a hard time getting withdrawals.
Would stay away for sure. Not difficult to find much better alternatives

well, the thing is online casinos could comply to regulations by restricting IP or something like that but people would be able to bypass that using a VPN
much harder to regulate online casinos than real life ones where you can check IDs, even though these can also be faked and people will find a way, there are differences.

I didn't play poker for a while... I am short on time and the places I know are not so interesting anymore! There are moments when I would like to play few hands or some tournament, and I start thinking about where to play and I just quit... in one of those moments I remembered Coin Poker and I was thinking to give it a try, that didn't happen, and after your words that will probably never happen! Thanks for the heads up!

Totally agree with you. SwC is already dead (omae wa mou shindeiru, SwC, he he) and there is no any good crypto poker site in a whole crypto space. Some poker rooms in places like Sportsbet is pretty lame without needed amount of players.
So we still playing with cash

Other major casinos have to invest in poker rooms and make gambler aware they are investing a lot here.Their ROI will be blazing fast as a lot of people nowadays prefer skill games compared to luck ones.I want to see this list go up to number 20 at least.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Poker is not a very profitable game for casinos, both live and online, so I don't see why you say they have to invest. Because you would like there to be more offer, I guess. But casinos look for what is most profitable for them, not what you would like. Aside from that, the poker market has been shrinking for years. It experienced a boom in 2003 and had its period of expansion, but I would say that from black friday in 2011 and the massive regulations began a period of contraction that continues to this day. This is another reason for casinos not to invest in poker. Why invest in something that has less and less customers?
