Where can I play Online Poker with Bitcoin?

[calme]

I’ve been looking for a reliable place to play online poker using Bitcoin, but there are quite a few sites around and it’s hard to tell which ones are actually worth using. I’m mainly interested in Texas Hold’em and cash games, but tournaments are a bonus too.

For people who regularly play poker with BTC, what platforms do you recommend right now? I’m looking for something with a decent player pool, fair rake, fast Bitcoin deposits and withdrawals, and ideally a site that has been around for a while rather than something completely new.

For new players/low rollers, stake poker is probably fine, but if playing with a decent bankroll, PlayBlind is likely the best, for many reasons:

Zero rake (advertisement/sponsor led model)
Instant cashouts up to $750k per 24 hour
Absolutely zero kyc or personal info required.
Most importantly, its a fun loose game, doesnt seem like theres any bots. good social element

Stake poker is the best

There are a couple of threads about poker ongoing on the forum.

Crypto Poker Season 2026 ♦️ 8th Aug - 26th Sep ♦️ Cash $6,000+ [Discussion]

[Application-OPEN] $6,000 Cash Prize POKER Tournament 🎴🃏♥️♦️♠️♣️

I can see the site is PokerNow. I haven't used it or participated in those threads, but as they are ongoing the site must be reliable.

Weird that 2 dormant accounts woke up after months to respond within minutes to a post made by a dormant account that just woke up. Looks a lot like someone shilling with a group of accounts than anyone looking to have a genuine conversation.

I might be wrong but it seems like they wanted to shill CoinPoker and they have already started doing it. Cmon, its an old tactic and I think hardly anyone will fall for it in 2026.

I would be careful with the recommendations given by these accounts with very little activity. I can also recommend Stake, as its one of the oldest brands but if any new sites are mentioned along with it, I would be very careful with those. If you really want a Poker suggestion then from what I remember, SWCPoker Club was quite popular back in the day. Though I dont know what their current status is. So, its always better to do your own research before depositing any money anywhere.

Wondering how both of our thoughts become the same. I was just thinking a red-tagged user asked the question, and another two red-tagged accounts replied in a row with stake poker. Very interesting; it’s not just soft shilling. I think it’s direct shilling, although they leave a formal reply.

However, on the forum there are a couple of platforms that offer poker. Users have to take their own responsibility to join with them; before joining, anyone should check their forum profile to make sure they aren’t an obvious scammer. The forum reviews won’t be fake since you can easily detect fake reviews by fake newbies or scammers.

Pokernow is just a free poker app that a few managers are using to promote some projects. I don't think they actually offer cash games or anything. You also aren't depositing on it but rather the manager or creator of a tourney sets the amount of chips users start with. Yes a person can create tourneys and collect a fee from users before giving them access, but not sure that's what the OP is referring to when he asks for a reliable site.

I had similar thought as well when I first stumbled upon this thread. The account's in question all have red trust which is very much questionable and speaks volume of their actions.
Well, I can not tell if they are for real but what they are requesting for are all present on this platform and I guess they should have seen the replies from members and can find their way to making sure they utilise the opportunities as they already seen here.

[EugeniaX]

There are a few crypto poker options around, but I’d check Bitcoin support and withdrawal rules first,  Vega is another one to compare.

[Tetu100]

Who knows if this are just some frame work to get someone stocked in their net. But I know how careful the guy's in the forum are, I believe they wouldn't fall for such a cheap play.

I believe you (op) have gotten yourself the answers you seek and locking up wouldn't be a bad idea either. Unless you have other motives or agenda that you haven't achieve.

I dont have time for poker anymore, but when i did, I actually loved playblind, but because its all smart contract based, i dont think they actually accept native bitcoin - you probably need to convert to USDC beforehand IIRC

Looks like you were right.

Oh, so this thread was just a ploy to shill PlayBlind.com. I knew the name was familiar, and after looking for a bit here in the forum, I found this post from Zwie(quoted below). So, from the looks of it, FeraLc is part of your scam accounts. I guess you people thought you were sneaky and forum members wouldn't notice that FeraLc edited his original post.

there is another website from these scammers, and this time it's a poker site.
they are miserably failing at trying to promote it tho, i honestly don't know what's going on in their mind thinking they will convince anyone to play there with how many red tags they have.

and just like timer.cash, this site also asks people to connect their wallet, so i would be very careful connecting a wallet to it.

strongly recommend stick to trusted crypto poker sites such as SWC, CoinPoker, and PlayBlind

probably https://PlayBlind.com, even though their interface is ugly as ass
But on every metric that actually matters, its is hard/(impossible?) to find a better crypto poker site

instead of messing around with pokernow, have you thought about contacting the team at the poker site PlayBlind.com ? theyre pretty open to opening new tournaments and tables, i understand they made one for debank users etc. and their site has no rake or anything, probably the best poker site at the moment (but they dont accept btc so ill deduct a few points)

while I think playblind is relatively decent for what it is (despite the shitty old UI), pokernow is better for things like community games, it is totally open and no deposits required etc.

to not repeat what i already found on another thread, i will just quote myself:

that site (playblind.com) is 100% a scam in some shape or form.

the domain is 28 days old, and the only posts about it are from this retarded scammer, his alts and shill accounts on reddit.

and the twitter account on that website also was promoting premu.xyz, which is a scam prediction market: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5586161.0

i tried to use the tables chat to check if people playing are real or not, but they have that disabled.
i guess the "racist comments" were people saying they are scammers.



playblind.com is a scam. stay away from it.

You could take a look at BetPlay.io. It supports Bitcoin and has a dedicated poker section with Texas Hold’em cash games and tournaments.

this retarded scammer is really persistent, i have to give him that. he keeps coming out of the woodwork with his gang of alts every while to shill for either a new scam or an old one, like this time. if it was up to me, i would nuke all his accounts.

I am going to allow myself to do some advertising and recommend you to try Stake poker tables.
Stake allows you to deposit in Bitcoin and also in other alternative currencies, their desposits are very fast, so are their withdrawals. They generally just charge you some cents in order to pay for withdrawals fees, so you won't get your money drained by excessive fees.

Also, Stake is a casino which have been around for literal years, so they already have a reputation, unlike newest casinos.

If you don't want to take blindy trust my promotion, then just deposit a small amount and try poker on Stake by your own, let us know about your experience on our official ANN.

Op, I would've loved to help you on your request or question whatever, but is just so obvious that this is actually not your real problem. Perhaps some negative tag's on your account has better explain most of your inner motives which I believe is the reason for this thread. Wise up Man, try and be useful to yourself and also your group of companies because this wouldn't work, I'll suggest you save your self the stress and do something meaningful with yourself instead of all these.

Yeah, they don't really lose anything if they get caught, so they just try again, hoping someone who doesn't know about their scam yet falls victim.

Don't bother recommending sites to the OP, check my post above. The thread is clearly made to sneakily shill "palyblind.com". Zwei have caught them multiple times, and this is their latest attempt.

[Agbe]

Aha! I thought this thread has been locked because the Op of the thread asked simple question and once the needed answer is given there is nothing to discuss again. And I believed by now the poker games casinos have been given to him therefore to avoid repeating comments, it is good for the moderator to lock up the thread.
