Im not you sure if you can but , if you deposit with bitcoin, for them or any other site , you think they still ask ID to cash out ?
Thx

I used bitcoin for ignition. Was never asked for id verification. (Coinbase did ask for verification).

Thx , last one thing for anyone please.
Deposing with bitcoin in a new site , do you have access to first deposit bonus ( probably the bonus in cash not bitcoin lol ...?) or it’s only with cash ?
And when you cash out is it preferable for security , to do it with your wallet ( electrum etc ) or better to an exchange of bitcoin directly ?
like Gemini , binance , etc ?
Thx !

You get the new account bonus and WPN gives 200% for crypto deposit on new accoubts.

Good question re withdrawals and deposits. Exchange > wallet > poker site and reverse it on way out. Exchange ge s like Coinbase have to comply with the UIGEA. While the reality is they are not Hawkeye following every transaction, if they know it is violating the UIGEA they will close the account and could seize funds. Always use an intermediary wallet between exchange and poker site

Thx a lot !
- Poker site
- Our private wallet
- Exchange bitcoin site

FWIW, this is the US players thread, so if you're still in Canada, you're potentially limiting your options.

Why do you need two wallets? Wouldn't that double the fees? I can't use my credit card for some reason on WPN and they won't tell me why so I have to use Bitcoin. Today, I wanted to deposit $200 and I got charged $218 and only $176 made it to the site and if I transferred another wallet in between that would be another $15 to $20. Is it because you don't trust the site with your wallet address? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I am new to Bitcoin and don't understand it. It seems to be some shady **** going on with it and if I was a criminal I would want to use Bitcoin. When sites like WPN are pushing hard for Bitcoin, it's a giant red flag for me.

Where can an American play NLHE heads up cash games? I believe Intertops has these kinds of tables but anyplace else?

SwC poker. Bovada used to have up to 400 NL HU tables not sure if they still do.

Does anyone online offer wsop/wpt sats outside of Nevada?

I have an account at carbon still. Haven't played in a while. Is that still a solid choice for us players using pokertracker?

Thanks

Gotta be honest: WPN w/ PT4 is nice but BOL w/ DriveHUD is probably the best setup for a US player if they had to play on only one site right now. The software is very sleek.

Timebank is v short. Idk if it’s fixed now but you used to have to click “sit here” to be bottom center every time you opened a table.

Ignition still has these HU cash tables starting from 5nl, all the way on up. Thanks again.

The timebank is a little better than it used to be but the hands do come fast. It's good because a) you can see a ton of hands an hour on BOL and b) fish mismanage their time and make terrible decisions in time trouble. It can be exploitable. I do hear you, though and it makes playing on multiple tables at a time more difficult than WPN.

Both setups are good but ...I just think BOL has pulled ahead. WPN's software and the network management are still a mess. I don't mind putting time on Global, either but let's be honest - no HUDs is a whole different game, really. It, of course, has it's perks that I like. Taking my own notes is helping me learn a ton and preparing me for live. Also, the barebones, no hud nature attracts fish and when you throw in high rake - once again, these guys become quite exploitable.

Must have been a shill up above because the account is banned here on 2p2 and BOL is a notoriously rigged, bot infested site. Yeah, the graphics are pretty and the software is nice but the site's rigged, filled with bots, and clearly has artificial timesinks built in to prevent winning players from winning too much. IMO - this site needs to be avoided. Games are confirmed illegitimate.

Was playing husng hypers and spins on BCP for a living for a few years until around 2017 and it was obvious there were bots in both games. So I quit playing and haven’t played since. Recently been watching polk/daniel challenge and it gave me a strong urge to play again and learning gto. So I download BCP again and see no husng. Google it and find the currrr/xrab exposing all the bots. Wow what a thread that was.
1. Is there a good place to play hu hypers and/or spins?
2. Im assuming bots are still everywhere in husng and spins?
3. Best USA site to play?

Every site has its issues. For US, your options are a bit limited.

WPN which has ACR, BCP, and True skins for US and the toughest games and biggest GTDs

Intertops/Juicy is oldest site here and their software was last updated around the Civil War yet somehow never has any issues running, and very low traffic.

Global Poker is US and Canada players, no Washington State or Quebec. Pretty soft play, html5 based software, and most straight forward on and off site re money. They found a way to function inside US regs.

Chico has best software, fair MTT schedule although heavy PKO games. Cash tables are easier than WPN and they have dramatically cleaned up the bots. Their new Integrity guys are from PS and PP. Super fast withdrawals, sometimes in an hour.

Bovada/Ignition is anonymous play. Software can be wonky at times, random crashes but far from the level of unplayable. Cash games are okay and most of the MTTs crush the GTDs. No logic to not raising them, but they almost never have an overlay.

Pokerbros/PPPoker all comes down to the agent you sign up with. The right club has huge cash game traffic and the MTTs are okay with some higher buyins.

SWC Poker has by far the largest types of games. All the draw games, split pot, OFC/p, stud, mixed games, etc....low traffic for some reason but they do not spend much time marketing it. Some MTTs do not get to the M aspect, as in multiple tables. Super easy on and off the site and bitcoin only.

Don't listen to any of the riggie garbage. Skilled player base analyzes hands all the time. Aberration of standard deviation would be noticed and confirmed by the player base and their HUD stats. You will find randos "confirming" rigs and devious dark Integrity issues. They will also not have a shred of evidence aside from posting a selected few hands to show how their AA 'never' wins.

All the US facing sites are reliable for getting your funds off and I doubt there is any real risk to player funds. Lastly, every CS department pretty much sucks when you need assistance the most. It's like they were all trained by a utility company CS department.

Thats a nice breakdown. Thank you!

I’m in NJ..which site should I play? Never played online before

There are the state-regulated NJ poker sites, which I would recommend that you stick to. There is also a small group of crypto-only sites, but they only fulfill niche needs that most people won't be interested in unless they really want to play poker denominated in crypto-currencies.

None of the major offshore brands allows players from New Jersey. This thread mostly deals with the offshore poker sites, though I am sure someone actually playing on NJ-regulated poker sites can give you more info on the current status of those games.

I for some reason cannot get any of my Visa Credit Cards to work on any of the Major Poker sites (Betonline, WPN, Bovada). Wondering if theres a prepaid option?

Thank you,

Black chip poker. A skin on winning poker network

It is unlikely your card will work because the processing is all over seas. It is possible it MAY work if you contact the number on the back of your credit cards and tell them that you want international transactions unlocked on your card because you want to make some foreign purchases online.

Pre-paid cards hardly ever work these days. I am unaware of any pre-paids that will go through at this time.

Get with the times though... Bitcoin or some other crypto currency is the best way to go. ALL offshore poker sites accept at least 3 different crypto currencies, some accept dozens.
