Topic: Poker tournaments why tournaments in other games - page 6. (Read 2058 times)

If you have no other option, you take what they get. Have you ever seen a Japanese Pachinko parlor? It is crazy! One may say it is stupid and boring, but as gambling is illegal in Japan, pachinko is the only game allowed. Of course all that situation complicates everything (you cannot win any prize, all you get are "tokens", but if you only cross the street, you may exchange these tokes for something more real), but there is no alternative.

I think gamblers don't find them boring in this game as compared to other games. Other games which are computerized are very boring to me and the amount of enjoyment is very less for me on these games.  On the other hand when I'm playing poker with another player I don't feel boring here and this creates an another excitement and joy in every gamblers. So I think gambling websites are bringing more poker games as per the demand of gamblers

it is correct , and poker makes big difference from their offering and this is also the reason why gamblers turn their gaming in Poker and participating in tournaments  because of those opportunity , they find gaming in this as a competition wise and improving their skills in card games.
Poker had been around for long and yes gamblers all around the world are engaging and enjoying all aspect of this.

It is the other way around.

Why should they accept crypto deposits?

This is partly due to regulatory issues, but the important question here is whether these companies are losing a significant part of their business by not accepting crypto deposits, and the answer is that they are not.

I think that dice games, slots and poker have been popular for a long time and each of these gambling games has fans who always come back to play the same game.
Tournaments for poker games attract many pro and non-pro players because they want to test their poker skills and win prizes.
But we do admit that cryptocurrency gambling has now become popular and dice, slots, and poker have benefited from the popularity of cryptocurrencies.
Maybe if we could play dice and slots like playing poker, where we could play at the same table, we'd see tournaments like poker already exists.

Dice and Slots are the most popular ? where did you get this data? don't  Poker had been covering the gambling industry for years now and those tournament that take place had been given millions of dollars for their players .
so i guess it is not right to  call those 2 to be most popular when poker is the only gambling tournament that is making big bags of money in path .

It's because there are no PVP games for other games. Like in dice, the only thing that competition can be made is through wagering and amount of wins there.
In slots, the same goes there. Is there a PVP type of gambling with slots? None. So, it's the same for dice and unlike poker, there's really an interaction from each player at that one table. Don't compare them because there's a huge gap.

Bitcoin requires some investment. A company needs to educate its staff, set up wallets, make sure the security is tight. I think companies in general not accepting cryptocurrencies comes down to 2 main points:
They know it's going to cost them money and they have enough income without bitcoin payments.
They consider it a niche and don't see much profit coming in from this move. The bigger the company is the less inclined it will be because bitcoin is not going to be more than 1% of their total revenue.

I have mixed feelings. From one side I think they are somehow moderated/limited by local law they must respect, like accepting fact that they cannot provide service to users from some countries. From the other side it is kind of business where you may do a lot if you expect profit. Bonuses, lotteries, any ways to attract (new) players, just to get their money. At the end they always win, as players compete with themselves, house always takes it's part.
Maybe you are right, maybe it is too early, but we cannot ignore fact that there is a lot of people (and probably will be much more) who has some crypto-coins and would like to spend them, one way or another. And currently all they are able to do is to play dice, not serious poker with other players.

Even though games like dice and slot are most popular but poker in the contest is most favorable for tournaments even though there has always been a low turn-up from most gamblers on the forum. Cryptocurrency gambling has become very popular and some games do not attract many players I think poker is one of those games and that is why they always organize a tournament to attract new players to test the game.

I think it is something as simple as they simply do not feel compelled to do it, if you take a look at the interests of those gambling with cryptocurrencies you will see that games like dice and slots are the most popular while poker has only a small amount of gamblers enjoying the game, so if this is representative of the overall interest of the community then those big websites probably do not see the need to adopt bitcoin yet and give that deposit option to their clients.

How do you think, why big companies are not accepting deposits in crypto? I mean PokerStarts etc. Is it just a lack of provider? Or they are somehow obliged not to do it, because of some money-laundering rules?
Even PokerTracker is not accepting crypto ;-)

Same looks here because reading His post makes me think that if he really know  crypto gambling specially how this market supports poker , In Games and rounds eh can see some games running or those who had ended about poker.
similar occasion we can see because this has bringing more gamblers interested in using crypto than fiat or their credit cards.

and also this competition is getting bigger as what real life poker is gaining now.

Then maybe you should learn more then? because it seems that you are not there to understand everything for gambling instead what you are pointing is something that you dont really know.

Gambling, poker and cryptocurrency are being accompanied each other nowadays and there are even tournaments happening from their part.

That is actually quite a good question. One that I have never thought of until now. If I had to make an educated guess, I would say that with poker games it does not feel like the players are entirely involved in a luck based activity like gambling but rather it feels like each player has a strategy behind each of his moves. There is even a psychoanalytic component players try to calculate. I guess this makes it fun to watch for observers. But that's just a guess of mine.

It is very difficult to imitate poker, particularly the most known version of texas hold'em. There is a whole culture built on this game - should I say sport -  that comes back from a long time. Some say it begun in the very old China while other claim that the version that is closer to current is "poqe" played in France in the XVII century. However, it was in the US when it got to where it is today.

I am also a person who admires poker players but I personally am not very good at it. I have even attended offline poker matches in several areas but that was also an event before the pandemic. What I watch turns out to be more difficult than what we watch in front of a screen. The real atmosphere clearly brings us to the moment when the players have the kind of strategy that is hard to guess.

Therefore, when I get to know online gambling, especially the payment using cryptocurrency, poker is one of the games that I will often visit.

Is FTX a gaming platform? or Exchange? I have seen in some sections of the forum dedicated to altcoins that they talk a lot about FTX, I am not a poker expert, I have seen tutorials that are exclusive to tournaments and apply a lot of mental strategy and that other players see, when we play in an online casino it is harder for our gestures to see us and more likely to win than to play against the machine.

I have not had the opportunity to play in a poker tournament, but I admit that it must be a lot of fun and at the same time feelings of strong emotions and fear will jump, when very large bets are made if the player does not have how to cover them, he can lose everything entry.

I've seen this in movies, but in movies where you see faces, to recreate this type of situation, just by making big bets I think you wouldn't need to see anyone's faces.

In poker there are many things, the straight, the trio, pair, flower and more, it is possible that someone new like me, should learn these things or the site can suggest the best play? It would be of great help and that they show the hand ranks and games.

Yes, you are right, we must also recognize that there are many people worldwide who are fans of poker and who have great faith in that game, so much so that many seek tournaments to play, some or a large number of the community go to pokerstars.net but what I don't like is that they don't accept cryptocurrencies and that for me is what brings me down, for me the platform that does tournaments should be enabled 24 hours a day, doing tournaments every hour, or every half hour, I never know knows when a player feels lucky or wanting to play and wants to have access, I think that's what they have to keep in mind for them to grow.


I am fascinated by the game of poker, however when I play I can never reach the finalists, and I have read many tutorials, I have seen different manuals, and it is incredible, but I have a friend who is very good at playing poker and He is also very good at playing pool, in crypto tournaments when he plays he always comes out on top, the truth is I don't know nor can I figure out what he thinks and how he thinks when he plays, sometimes I think that what he has is a gift, at Just like in pool when he plays he is very good, I have asked him and he tells me that he plays without fear of losing, and he plays a lot with the psychology of others, that is the only thing he tells me.

Boardgames are fun and a great way to test your decision making skills and so far not just acquaintances can enjoy the game but it's mean to be a game for family. I was one of the participants of that said event and it was really a fun and memorable poker tournament we've had here enjoying with the forum members, though I stopped personally joining from the game considering the timing.
