I'm fairly sure I've read how to do that earlier in this thread. I'd suggest you do some searching.

Simply put:

Convert CB dollars to btc. Go to blockchain and find your receive btc address(it will be like 30 characters). Copy it. Go to CB and send your btc to the blockchain address you copied.

There are more detailed posts in this thread and the Bodog/Bovada payout deposit thread.

I typed in coinbase on search and it gave me 126 items. I typed in coinbase blockchain and it gave me 56 items

NP. I always prefer to teach a man how to fish.

I tried the coinbase, blockchain search and saw the first lines of the 56 posts, (58 now ), scanned them in a few seconds, and found what you needed after another few seconds.

I've searched far and wide and can't seem to find if anyone has had any experience using Cash App to obtain bitcoin and deposit on a site like ACR. In the past I have used the coinbase -> blockchain method to deposit on Ignition; what about purchasing directly in Cash App and sending right to ACR? Anyone have any experience with that?

Alot of buzz in the past few years on the crypto gambling scene
I personally prefer these sites to traditional poker sites

Fast withdrawals
Bigger promotions
Softer playing fields

Anyone else here prefer the online crypto poker scene

Yup I prefer SwC Poker and Nitrogen Sportsbook's Poker.

Also you can use agent sites that are played in USD but settle in Bitcoin.

Definitely convenient, and easy to get into cash when you need it.

what sites do you recommend?

Do these sites play with btc on the site? Bitcoin seems pretty volatile, no, so you're swinging around.

Fiat is about as volatile as btc lately tbh. Dollar has been soaring, and then... Not so much

Anyone living in Asia doing crypto withdrawals?
I'm trying to find the most profitable option to withdraw to local bank account.

Right now I have to options. But don't know how it'll work out cause I have very little experience.

1. I used to exchange skrill funds with local buyers before so send btc to their skrill account via Bitpay. Tried testing this today but to send $8 I had to pay $1 as fees.
(as bitpay miners fee for me+ network fee+ skrill deposit fee for him)
Guessing this would be costly for bigger amounts? any better wallets than this? Skrill recommends this don't know if others work with skrill

2. Withdraw from Binance through Payeer or Advcash wallets. Have no experience using them. Again no clue about the fees.

I'm in Sri lanka if that helps. All this is cause my agent has stopped all skrill withdrawals cause of some regualations with skrill. Cool thing about skrill is I don't withdraw just exchange with other locals while they deposit to my bank account at a higher exchange rate

SwC Poker, if you can get action.

Yes. Send to NETeller (can't cashout bitcoin), so send $ to another site, cash it back out, then use NET+ card at any ATM.

This is so expensive though
2.5% Neteller/Skrill fee+ network fee+Miner fee to send it to neteller/ skrill. + Their exchange rate is not great

Im having the same issue but Im in Europe right now. A person would send me BTC onto my copay wallet I then withdraw it onto my neteller but with the above mentioned fees.. which is way too much, is there any other way I could do this? Could I receive the BTC onto my coinbase directly from another person and then I withdraw it to my bank account in Europe?

They are provably fair, too. Marketing is their issue.

Hello all,
I am looking for the cryptocurrency poker platform with the highest traffic of players.

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.

SwC Poker has the most traffic of the Bitcoin rooms listed. Nitrogen Poker is 2nd most traffic, but the rake cap is way worse there ($30 in USD terms vs around $2 on swc)

Nitrogen has good freerolls for high rakers, but it still doesn't make up totally for the super high rake.

They are both still beatable though, if you select the right games

CoinPoker (and VirtuePoker of those I know but can't see action -- likely a few SNG players at the most -- and the lowest cash they have seemed to be PLO2k and NLH400) shows action, has some action for sure, NLH, PLO5c, and maybe a bit PLO (the last I saw three players were camping what seems to be PLO25). 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.
