Carbon poker has the best software after pokerstars but they are taking 5% fee on bitcoin withdrawals. Apart from that i've played on betcoin, nitrogen and btckings and all of them are good paying sites.

What about if you deposit cash and not bitcoin, how much do they take with withdrawals?

I never cashed out anything other than bitcoin but afaik 5% fee is only for bitcoin withdrawals and they take it no matter if you deposited fiat or btc.

The best poker sites besides Poker Stars are those where you can play with consumer protection service inclusive and deposit and withdraw bitcoin:

Bitcoin Poker sites with cost free consumer protection service

You can read on poker forum 2+2 that 100% sure does not exist and there are reported issues with almost every site!


Thank you! I never heard of this forum eather, will check it out now. Smiley

Pretty weird that you say pokerstars as they don't accept bitcoin.

The only poker site I know that accepts bitcoin for USD deposits is America's card room, I have used the site for blackjack betting and already managed  to withdraw in bitcoins without any troubles, but I wouldn't recommend you to use the site for the simple reason, they don't actually accept bitcoin, they convert it instantly for USD so by using the site you are not supporting the bitcoin network in any way.

If you are looking for a way to play poker on bitcoins( bitcoins blinds, not USD), nitrogensports is the only site I know that enables it.



No, I never said I am looking for a poker site that accepts Bitcoin. I wouldn't like that.  Smiley

I don't want to disappoint you , but I guess you won't be satisfied with any other site after playing in stars cause you won't find a similar experience
it worth mentioning what country are you from , anyways if you have 888 available then you should go for it
I haven't tried it but they say it's the 2nd site after stars and the games are kinda smooth there
you can check Americascardroom , ACR accepts like 99% countries ( I don't know any country that isn't accepted so I put 99% it may be 100%  Grin )

And you were right, no pokersite can beat PokerStarts, not even close. The closest are Bet365 poker and William Hill but it's still not the same.

I would suggest you try playing pokers on 1xbet.com. It's a good website with trusted review from pokers all over the world.

They don´t even offer P2P poker. You can only play video poker against the house.
Therefore I don´t think that 1xbet is offering what OP is looking for.

I also would advise against playing the video poker game. Why would you
play a game like this with fiat when you can play provably fair gambling games
at many Bitcoin gambling sites? I just don´t understand why anyone would continue
to play at a fiat casino after they have discovered provably fair gaming.

Thank you guys! Alot of you said Full Tilt but then slmsone said it's closed?

Full Tilt is not closed, but it's part of the Stars Group, so it shares the same network as PokerStars for example. So if they are accepted in your country it will be a really good option for you, since you should already be used to the player base of that network, considering you were a pokerstars player. They are together for quite some time now, since their acquisition was made in 2014 if I'm not mistaken, and they start working more like a poker stars skin since 2016. So it's the same client and player base, but it is still Full Tilt and they have different websites for example.
I used to be a player there, and I liked their room because they were quite innovative with their promotions. I remember they were the first to create the rush poker for example, with a few rooms following their lead on that.

You should also try bitcoin poker rooms. A few users already mentioned some of the best rooms in this thread. The player base is not huge, but I think you will still enjoy a casual game from time to time, in these rooms.

Betsafe
Unibet

Problem for me that Betsafe is not allowed in my country anymore but was very good poker room. Fast Withdraws and good support but not so much big tournaments like pokerstars.

Hey guys. So since PokerStars is no longer allowed in my country do you have any suggestions where I could play some good poker tournaments or some Twisters or Spin&Go's? Do you know any sites that pay you 100% and are legit like PokerStars or Bet365? Thank you so much for your answers.  Smiley
Google said 888poker, Full Tilt, William Hill, Party poker etc.
Read ToS and see if you can play in one of them.
You can also try bitcoin poker sites(use search button).
I can vouch for full tilt poker , paid me since 2012 , not much restriction there and have a lot of tourney.
Yeaaa considering we are in bitcoin forum i think you might have to try bitcoin poker room .
Although it is not as good as the famous pokerstars , at least take a look to swc poker. Goodluck!

I can agree with Full Tilt. It has a nice design, and I have won more, than lost there Smiley

Please don't just make a google search and post when somebody is asking for opinion. If it's about a Google search, OP could do it without posting here...

Full tilt poker was bought a long time ago from PokerStars and there is full migration Fulltilt -> PokerStars from more than a year.



OP, if you want Bitcoin poker - Nitrogen or SwC.

If you want fiat poker, you could choose a poker network by traffic or games from here: http://www.pokerscout.com/

I honestly believe that poker gambling sites are a dying breed. There are lesser and lesser players and people that get interested in it, because it has always been hard for newbies to win any money on it. That's a discouraging factor to it since if you join any table, there is little chance to win and you have to compete with a lot of people to win and that will also require a lot of time to do. It's practically slow, comparing it to today's games like dice and other casino games.

I used to play in a lot of fiat poker rooms like pokerstars, FullTilt, bet365, titan poker, betfair poker room, party poker, and plenty of others, since some shared the same network and actually just used "skins" for their site. I ended up with your problem, and the majority of pokers rooms stop operating in my country because of license problems, and the same things happen with bet sites actually. This is when I started looking for bitcoin gambling, and I'm quite pleased with it for the moment. You won't find many poker players in these rooms right now, so it wont work out if you are a multitable poker pro of course, but it's still good to play from time to time and I would suggest you to try them out.

I used to play at betcoin.ag, but I stopped given the "scam reports" from users. Don't know if they are true or not, but I prefer not to risk it until their reputation gets good again. I would recommend you nitrogen poker, since the site is quite popular now, specially because directbet has closed. I heard decent things about cloudbet as well, but I would try nitrogen first.

does anyone trust betonline anymore, or have they completely fallen from grace? I mostly play there for the freerolls, but I win ever now and then, so I'll get involved in a cash game. they seem fair, but I may be throwing my money away...

Even professional poker players who make loads of money by playing only tournaments only win them every now and then, so I can’t see why not trusting the site for this reason.

You are going to lose a lot of times if you play cash games as well. The point is to maximize your profits when you have winning hands and cut losses when you have losing hands. You can also bluff but I guess you are going to play low levels, if that is the case I would hardly ever bluff.
