Its the biggest problem with poker sites and sadly the only answer right now is to throw bad money into promotions to get a site buzzing.
But it also attracts lag to the site with the multiple accounts just there for a free lunch.
Tried the site a well back but the bot play soured me a bit and I understand why they where used and that the owner lost money creating action, but still it sits a little off with me.
Seeing so many sites come and go, I think as poker players we should almost group together and create some kind of mutual platform that we all have a share in.
It would be self policing in a way and would attract honest players, potentially, who knows.
Think instead of freerolls, you could set up some good bonus releases based on rake or hands. That would limit the freeloading of the site and maybe attract bigger players.

I like the site but I think something should be done about its popularity. For some reasons people don't play on it although it was proved that the site is legit, several people in this thread confirmed that they withdrew their winnings successfully.
Positive reinforcement cycle based on the fact that there are few players on the site. Small player-base -> Fewer players are inclined to come, which perpetuates the small player-base. This is exactly why it's difficult for new poker sites to start up and why promotions - even if they come - have to be massive in order to attract the 2-5% of people who will stick around instead of simply coming and going.
at one time the site itself (when freerolls and plenity of bots were around) we have peaks of 30-35 plys online at the same time including bots.
now there is a chance of creating a signature campaingn which I think is a good idea to spread the word over the forum with a surplus of rakeback offers with the signatures, I'm waiting for the service guys to send me the sigs and and see If we can develop together with BTCKings a signature campaingn.

The site is working for me, but it looks like there are few real players there, two or three maybe, and no active tournaments.

Hi, the site is not down for maintenance, there might be a problem with hosting. We are having our IT guys check into it. Sorry for the inconvenience. We will update you soon.
Update: We are still waiting to hear from our hosting company Qhoster. Their support is atrocious

I made a withdrawal about 12 hours ago, and it still hasn't arrived.. my first withdrawal took 22 hours, but every one after that happened relatively quickly. I don't think I waited more than an hour or two. I hope this one doesn't take too much longer. I'm so impatient! UGH
We were traveling yesterday and were not able to go online for several hours. All cashout requests have been processed and always will be within 24 hours - usually sooner. Transactions getting confirmed is another story and is out of our hands. Please check blockchain.info before stating that your funds haven't arrived.
thanks for getting back to me. sorry if it seemed like I was whining. I wasn't doubting your integrity or anything like that. I knew it was just a matter of time, and like you said, my cashout request was processed.
and since I'm here, I might as well ask.. is the site down for maintenance? please come back soon! I really want to take more of gaston_'s money
Site is under maintenance ? I got stuck in the load page checking here --- > http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/
is shown site is down. I'm working along with a free signature designer (I tried myself but failed to) which is good at and we may have a signature campaign @BTCkings.

I would like to thank BTCKINGS for the great time I had promoting this awesome poker site.
From now on I'm working for another campaign, but I will be visiting the site regularly because I think there is no better place to learn how to play poker.
Yours sincerely,

Actually there are hundreds or even thousands better places for you to learn how to play poker, you are just pretend to be a blind man about it. Or maybe you were just too lazy to find free poker sites.
Anyway, how much you have earn while promoting btckings? Was that paid signature campaign or you wore it as you like to get referrals? If it was your own choice (non-paid signature), how many referrals you got and you how much you have earned from the referrals?
Actually I was paid good by BTCKings for wearing their signature but I'm not going to disclose the amount to you. No, it wasn't for referrals.
You know, you may have your own preferences on where to learn how to play poker, but if others don't agree with you that doesn't mean they are blind.
Good luck!

wow you're kind of a dick.
Are there a good number of players on the site? Because I need a lot of tables and players, before I make the move from Pokerstars to BTCkings
If you look for good number of players and real play then you should stay at Pokerstars but if you want to make quick bucks against bots then you can play here. :)There is no bitcoin poker sites that can beat pokerstars in case of traffic imho, the best bitcoin poker site is still SWC so far. So if you want to move to bitcoin bases site, you can go to SWC instead of BTCKings.
Are this kind of posts allowed ? Promoting sites on some other site topic ?
I agree it wasn't nice mentioning another btc poker brand under this thread. Don't think it was done intentionally.

Thanks Junko. Not a bad idea, we will talk to our IT guy about it. We agree about the bots and we wish we could remove them all, but at the moment they have to be there.
Not sure if this has been suggested yet or not, but have you considered offering a table starter bonus? For example, earn double/triple bonus points or whatever amount would be an incentive for being one of the first two or three players to open a table. Seems many players are scared/intimidated to sit at an empty table or don't even know that it is possible. Anyway, might be more cost effective at getting more people to play and generate more rake than clueless fold/all-in bots just giving away free chips. Playing at a table with all bots, or even all bots and one other real player taking turns exploiting bots, just doesn't feel like real poker.
Apologies if the above has already been suggested/considered.
