Use btcmarkets instead of Coinbase imo. Don't send to a wallet imo despite their advice because you just pay double fees. Just send straight from the exchange is what I did.

OK much appreciated! And yeah I been reading articles and watching videos just a couple of questions, there only seems to be one coinbase.com so that's fine, but do I use Blockchain.com or Blockchain.com.au, and is there any difference re fees between the two for Australian based players, basically which one should I be using?

And regarding the different prices that different Bitcoin sellers sell their Bitcoins, I assume coinbase and blockchain cover that?

sorry for noob question, so btcmarkets straight to ACR? so they do it on our behalf?

why are then some like ldmariodl28 sending to wallets?

Yeah or you could send direct from coinbase, but fees are lower on BTCMarkets which is the best AUS exchange. Holding large amounts of BTC on exchanges generally is bad practice because previously an exchange was hacked and people lost their sht but honestly it really makes no difference for what you need.

Also just received an email from Pinnacle sportsbook saying they are stopping Skrill/Neteller deposits for Australians as of 5/12 and stopping withdrawals as of 15/12.

I know this has nothing to do with poker, but it maybe a bad sign when it comes to deposit/withdrawal options regarding sites that are unlicensed in Aus.

Bitcoin master race.

Ok so quick question ive signed upto BTC Markets, now when i click on deposit on ACR its giving me a unique address and the exact amount i have to put in, in BTC markets do i click withdrawal or where does this information go to send it to ACR. Is BTC markets the only account i need as per above?

The biggest actually.

Well, it has spread to the blackmarket poker sites in the last week or 2, Betonline.ag acr intertops, all of them have stopped accepting neteller and skrill

you'll either get 'merchant blocked geolocation' or declined.

anyone use ecopayz??

So I sent 0.00872777 BTC to True Poker a few days ago which was approx US$135.
It ends up at $107 when it goes into my poker account. lol.
Then this chat with them asking where the money went and lots of evading actually telling me.
Make up your own mind on all this.

19:00 bernie: ok
19:31 bernie: hello
19:45 bernie: anyone there?

So they credited me with some money. It still stinks and I still think I am owed more money. So let it be a lesson for any budding bitcoin transactioners that if u send x bitcoins you aren't guaranteed x bitcoins will arrive in your poker acct.

btc miner fees are high right now which likely accounts for the rest of the money, its nothing wpn has control over

Fair enough. However I don't have much faith in the whole process now.

Plus there is no record of what happens or at least anyway I know of. It seems to me bitcoin is no better than banks. just a different person taking your money. at least banks have some accountability.

jesus man, cryin like a ***** over $15.

is this as easy as it sounds?

Was more of a warning to other players. Let them take $15 off everyone. Fu . I remember why I seldom post here.

Does anyone play on pppoker app with cash buy ins?
I know of a couple that Aussies run
I've been thinking of starting on myself

Yah been playing pp since it came out. Shids the nuts.

A quote from the other thread, I thought this was a better thread to ask the question.

What are these Chinese/Bitcoin sites you're talking about?


The Chinese/Bitcoin sites have been mentioned a bit lately but not much info to go by, betcoin doesn't have any cash game traffic if that's the site you're talking about?, besides some of the comments in the betcoin thread are just . So are you talking about betcoin or are there other Bitcoin sites offering games?

SWCpoker for bitcoin seems the best? lowest rake, and the least negative reviews in the 2p2 thread.

SWCpoker apparently no cash game traffic?

its low yea...112 players online with only HU games running atm lol.

I uploaded some of these files from the pokersites you mentioned before downloading and

americascardroom






Sportsbetting
