Best Online Poker Sites
Poker sites accepting bitcoin, altcoins and real money on desktop iOS and Android reviewed for players around the world. Finding the best poker bonus using only money or bitcoin would be terrible, so we’ve checked all the options available currently, very few are worth talking about, so we don’t.
Real Money Poker
High Security and Trust
Save Money for Bitcoin
Bitcoin Poker Sites
Faster Deposits and Withdrawals
Gamble Your Children’s Future
Our recent favorite for new player this month is Crypto Poker Club because they run freerolls every 2 hours with a 5mBTC (0,005 BTC) prize pool.
888 Poker is our favorite poker app because of the Free $88 with no deposit they offer as well as the 100% bonus after we deposited. There are on a few we actually recommend and the others are on the real money poker page.
Bitcoin poker sites aren’t necessarily the “best bet” if a player has the option to deposit with real money on poker sites. This of course assumes the player wants to accumulate more bitcoin, we just can’t imagine losing a big pot knowing it was once bitcoin over silly real money.
For those new to cryptocurrency, we have information explaining them as well as bitcoin prices, so knowing what currency we want to gamble with is always easy.
Real Money Poker Sites to Avoid
We don’t recommend a ton of real money poker sites below. Their software, games, customer support and/or promotions have tilted us enough to tell them to close while more players avoid them.
Titan Poker, William Hill Poker, Ladbrokes, Coral Poker, Genting Poker, Grosvenor Poker and Guts Poker are all terrible poker experiences for players.
Any sportsbook using Ipoker Network Software, has terrible poker software. This is because Ipoker is full of bots stinking up the games.
Bet365 sports betting is cool but using Ipoker/playtech software for poker means people shouldn’t play poker on Bet365. They rent the poker software from a shady casino software developer called Playtech.
Players have complained since 2010 about all of the bots playing on Ipoker and it is possible that Playtech is actually running some of these bots with how little they care about it.
Global Poker has issues all the time. We hate conspiracy theorists as much as the next guy but where there’s smoke there’s fire.
Update: Global Poker are scum bags
Bovada and Ignition Poker, all owned by Bodog (who promote Bcash over Bitcoin), should be avoided.
America’s Cardroom has had bots for awhile. They don’t know how to get rid of them, so players were asked to help police the bots.
Even though hating PokerStars is in fashion, people forget about their $870 million fine from the State of Kentucky. We want to remind everyone that the lawsuits against Amaya always come out of their customers pockets.
We should point out that Stars Group is the company that gets sued now that Amaya has changed their name. Just in case any readers are planning to file a lawsuit against them soon.
All in Asia (IDN, GGNetwork) appear to admire Russ Hamilton and run poker sites that scam people to prove it.
Anything on Merge Network, Carbon Poker for example, really sucks to play poker on.
