BITCOIN POKER SITE RANKINGS (user generated)

[Junko]

SWC: 4.5 - Rakeback, HU tables, relatively good volume, good value GTD tourneys incl 20 btc gtd, no ID required, no verification required, freerolls, not only have they been around the longest, but also good communication and they listen to user feedback, reliable payouts/withdrawals

[NLNico]

I just like to give a " 2 " to:

americascardroom.eu
blackchippoker.eu

These are not really bitcoin poker sites. Sure you can most likely deposit with bitcoin (and not even withdrawal?) Either way, you don't play with bitcoin, you play with dollars.



On addition I like to add:

gridpoker.eu

with a 3.5 . Their biggest disadvantage is that they only have a Windows client and partly because of that they don't have much traffic. But they do develop/improve a lot on that client. They are running some microstake GTDs and some (microstake) NLHE / OFC cash games.


Seals, BetcoinPoker, PRC - my favorites, but seem ok in your ranking I guess.

to Ryan feel free to delete my post and pm me and I'll post a shorter post if this is too long for you.
I can vote for gridpoker.eu as well. i give them 2/5. I really dislike ALL the sites that use 10000 chips/ btc cus it inevitably leads to much smaller games unless people factor that in and multiply their buyins by 10 but my problem is that people who play for fun DO NOT think this way and they are happy to play tournaments that are 20 chips/10 chips buyin cus that seems like a decent amount when they play for fiat, but these bitcoin turned into fiat isn't worth it for any serious poker players. There is a psychological factor at play that keeps all sites that offer 10000 chips/ btc stagnant imho. This exchange will be fine if btc was worth more way more than it is now but right now their games are so small that the sites won't make any money and they won't grow. For example gridpoker.eu has 50 people+ playing in their freerolls, as many as any of the other sites that offer freerolls but they get about 2 tourneys/ day to run that aren't freerolls and these prize pools are around 20 chips or 1$ if converted to fiat.

Seals with clubs 1
Betcoin poker 4

Seals with clubs is not good, they have been long time in the market and dont improve anything, today tried to play and after downloading the client i try to enter with my account and it says new version available please visit xxxx, but it dont even have the link and if you put type that url in browser it gets to seals error page.
Dont have password recovery, and their browser client sucks.

I'm guessing this was meant for the sports book rankings...

[RyanK]

Any more scores for these poker sites?  Or any sites worth adding to the ranking list?

betcoin and seals are the only two poker rooms, i dont think any other rooms have a chance to get big.

[BitCoinPokerBro]

blackchip, americascardroom, and betcoin are all the same network and effectively the same room.

Betcoin 4.5
SWC 4

They really need some competition.  I'm sure more poker rooms will be popping up...

[RyanK]

Now that there seems to be at least one new competitor in the poker realm, I would like to get this back up and running.  I have added Nitrogensports.eu now that they have a poker platform.  If there are any other new bitcoin poker sites please let me know so I can add them.

Similar to SwC

Vault storage of btc
Casino chips for play
12 hour or less withdrawls
Both use Poker Mavens the script SwC uses

SwC has lots of micro betting action
iBitcoin Casino has low betting action 1/2 blinds
1Player has live concierge casino hosts to arrange 100/200 blinds games all day long

I have no interest in iBitcoin Casino

I have interest in 1 Player

I don't need to vote, just letting you know you need to add two more to your list, it's a good idea but make sure voters have actually played in the casinos

[RyanK]

Thanks, both have been added.

NGS - 2 - reason microbtc room and keeps chips online, if they had some hgher tables 3 or 4, but with other rooms promoting offline vaults for casinos, I'm beginning to think that is how a casino should operate as to btc.

SwC - 3 - lots of fraction tables of their chips which are only .40 cents or so, so all those fraction chips players turned me off, took under 12 hours to get withdrawl.

iBitcoin Casino Org - 3.5 - 1/2 tables and 5/10 tables some action but higher tables were empty, if they had more higher tables with action easy 4, super fast payback, not even an hour.

1 Player - 5 - One reason, I used their casino host to ask about high stakes game and I had a nice table of 6 with high stakes blinds, also super fast payback. This could become a major spot for high stakes gamblers. I don't get why this site is letting so many people say they scam, they paid me super fast.

There's others I've played out not on your list.

UPDATED

Betcoin Poker 1 - Yeah read the fine print INSTANT WITHDRAWLS then you read this

All withdrawals go through a few security checks and are usually instant, otherwise they normally take less than 1 hour to complete.

Pocket Rocket Poker 1 - Their SSL is UNTRUSTED enough said

Bitcoin Poker Room 0 - Domain doesn't resolve, looks like it's OUT OF BUSINESS

bitcasino.io I vote 5 for this one, because it's very well done, and:
1)Many freerolls
2)Interesting tournaments
3)Good size of blinds for cash game

other than that, if people wants a live version of poker, there is live poker where you can bet outcomings

That's video poker, not real poker in a poker room with other real people.

Or did they add a real live table, last time I looked it was a video game, lame.

If you noticed I talked about 2 kinds of poker We have, the poker room and that poker where you bet the outcomes.
You keep talking of Live Poker as if there is a real life table, a dealer that shuffle the cards and deals the cards to the players.
That in my vision is the closest thing as live poker I know.
Then there is the poker room, that bitcasino has, which has an excellent graphic, and it can compete with most of the rooms i've seen around here.
And that is also live poker because there are real people playing it.
