1.)
There are poker platforms that accept Bitcoin for deposits and withdrawals, but after the transfer, the Bitcoin is converted to US dollars because the poker account itself is managed in US dollars. I am less interested in these poker platforms.
My research has shown the following platforms:

Chico-Network (Betonline.AG, TigerGaming)
Winning Poker Network (Americascardroom, BlackChip Poker, True Poker)
Horizon Network (Intertops, Juicy Stakes)
PaiWangLuo Poker Network (Ignition, Bodog, Bovada)
IDN Play Poker Network - Shen Poke


2.)
Then there are poker platforms that also manage the poker account in the crypto currency, so that you do not leave the Bitcoin at all. I am most interested in these platforms. Above all, I am looking for a platform that also offers this "Zoom / Rush / Fastfold / Blitz Poker".
My research has shown the following platforms:

SwC Poker
CoinPoker
Real Poker
Blockchain Poker
virtue.poker
Nitrogen Poker
Betcoin Poker
Nolimitcoinpoker
Pokerking.club


I hope my research has been thorough enough.
I hope someone of you has experiences with these platforms and can tell me about them.

Thanks in advance for your answers.
Biggest site that accepts crypto will be Natural8/GG, albeit it gets converted to USD or local currencies for gameplay and then can be converted back upon withdrawal

But at both of these you need a wallet or comparable with PRIVACY KEYS and that is very difficult but to the top 2% of IQ level or who happen to know it, so it is tough to get action. Some interesting options exist, but they are ahead of the time. Picking a wallet or so that they list, and maybe one gets the privacy keys so (so you need yet another crypto wallet or so). But would be surprised to find weaker players than me there and at CP when I observed (you need an account for that) they were timing regularly; were slow and painful possibly.

SWC Poker, I am aware they had action, but it seemed to become very little, but at least one needs no privacy keys. Saw some affiliate say up to 50% rakeback (probably for all without affiliate) and lowest rake in indstruuuueeeee (wrote it wrong 3 tomes) but I am not sure, as CP may be 3% with no cap, as my guess of what I might have seen.

******* (mobile, vertical mobile only, and you need to buy your timebank, up to 70 dollars per month, you get the stats of your opponents for the same price in that case at least, stats, and even the extra table graphics cost, ans so on) if you are not regulated (if you are, it is a known software more or less used by many and need an affiliate) has 40% rakeback (affiliate and has normal deposit option and is well regulated, but when I tried with a wallet, it says my browser blocks it, but it doesn't, so coulnt deposit. Can deposit with crypto but not sure if the same pop-up. Has NLH, PLO 5c and fancy stuffs. The cap possibly 3 and higher less but not sure.

I paid 6bb from an all-in on my national site, though 3% rake. It is pretty tough to beat the rake by paying masses of bbs and bbs so often, comparing that to 2bb level winrates from the best or so, depending. Thinking of moving in bigger tourneys or stopping serious playing as I am unlikely to beat the normal rakes for profits and the alternate sites will never get enough support and if games run, populated by potentially questionable people.

Saw many URLs for SWC but can't know what is right perhaps, as can be scammy, and the same for IDN Shen puppet, but you need a man in-between affiliate to deposit with wallet and not sure about crypto, but it is a short-stacking site and all bigger limits in PLO are private games until you want to play heads up. And browser one-tabling only, but you can have many accounts. Mobiles may be buggy.
BTCGrinders is an affiliate that gives ~15% extra rakeback on SWC, anyone know if they're legit?

I don't see any other sites where affiliates are giving anything extra for any other Bitcoin Poker Rooms.

The software is not the best, for sure.

The CoinPoker software is decent but from my experience there's alot less traffic there than other Bitcoin Rooms.

If you can't or don't want to use coinbase to buy the BTC for online, does Blockchain.com work or is there a better site?

One one tutorial it says not to use them to buy the BTC, but it doesn't say *why*...

Thanks in advance

Anytime the affiliate or poker room control the stats you're paid on (which is always) you're at the risk of just trusting their stats aren't tampered with

Does Betcoin still operate poker? I used to play there long time ago when they were on the WPN network.
