Cash games at betcoin.ag can be thin at times and better at other times depending on the time and day. If you like tournaments, betcoin.ag players have access to the WPN tourneys which at this moment according to the tournament lobby, is showing 8286 players in 229 tournaments.

... maybe you're not playing at the right places.I still know a couple of sites where people only come for poker and chat's are always poker talks.

Ok, now you are teasing me. Where do you like to play?

I play a bit at Nitrogen, Fortunejack, and look in at SWC from time to time. Beyond that I'm sort of at a loss.

Blame the other 300 sites that offer the same/better services.No betcoin.tm is not pulling the poker traffic ,in fact only newbies play there ,the site is a heavy scam.With the emergence of casino scripts and fancy UI's ,everyday a new dice/casino site is launched somewhere on the Internet.Bitcoins adds on to it.But that doesn't mean poker is actually dying off the scene,maybe you're not playing at the right places.I still know a couple of sites where people only come for poker and chat's are always poker talks.

Is it just me, or does it really appear as though bitcoin poker activity has slowed down quite a bit? I recall in the heyday of SWC, when essentially everyone played at the same place, and bitcoin was relatively new and undervalued, that SWC always seemed reasonably busy. By reasonably busy I'm guessing around 300 players logged in, give or take. Now players are spread across multiple sites, such that they may congregate on one site for an hour or so if there is a big tourney running, but otherwise this same, fairly static community has since dispersed their play across multiple sites such that rarely does a site have +300 players like SWC used to enjoy on a daily basis?

Is Betcoin an exception? I don't really play there so I don't know for sure. Last I logged in a couple weeks ago things were surprisingly slow. Was the bitcoin poker community better served when there was only one place to play? Or am I just nostalgic?
