Way to go. I'll try it.
I'd like to know if we can schedule a poker game, or is there one already set? I'd like lower stakes, too.. especially for my first time testing out your site. I'd like to know what the pay out percentages are if there are X number of seats filled. Also, do you take a rake?
Topic: Texas Hold Em BitPoker @ the BitBetter - page 2. (Read 2878 times)
Hey guys, as you can see I'm a newbie to the forums. However--been working on a site that congregates all the fun bitcoin services into one site. We have actually been working pretty hard on this, so your consideration or time (even if it's just a glance) is really appreciated. Our BitPoker is up and running now, if anyone would like a game feel free to sign up for an account or PM me. It's all free (except the buy-in of course). Our site's URL is http://bitbetter.org
It works basically like this:
You make a free account at BitBetter (standard wordpress CMS) then use the forms to purchase the BitCoin buy-in. You will be provided instructions on how to access the poker server once the bitcoins have been received. The bitcoins stay in a MyBitCoin account until the game ends, then the winner is paid the entire pot from this account. Games can have up to 10 people, it's somewhat secure and it's fast. This setup means that our members can run games from their own computers, with no involvement from us. The open-source poker software can be downloaded to a USB and played anywhere. If you'd like to just play the poker without betting any bitcoin, feel free to download the software from our site and play away for free!
As a newbie, I was kinda getting frustrated with all these automated games and doublers and such. Wanted to offer a free place to use your bitcoins for fun, but run by a PERSON who you could contact with problems. There will never be a game run (that is bitcoin based) that wont be monitored by a real person. This way, fraud is kept to a minimum, pay-outs are dumped quickly, and people who are having technical issues can get help fast. We put together a ticket system that will allow people to submit issues then check the status of them being fixed.
Feel free to look around the site. We offer a pizza ordering service and also a module to order pretty much anything from the internet using BitCoins. We will never ask for membership fees or take any type of transaction fee for doing nothing. If we make any money it will be from advertising or winning poker games.
We are implementing several other games to play similarly to poker. You can also see a play-by-play of your poker hands after the game is finished.
PM me or use the chat on the site to ask any questions or feedback you might have. The point here is to provide a fun, legal alternative to online gambling and also provide a safe place to use your BitCoins however YOU want to use them. BitCoins (to me) are all about providing an alternative to online transactions, where you don't have to worry about identity theft and the like. We are NOT a bank. We do NOT bank any bitcoins or make any profit. The only time we actually make any BitCoins is when we win (and I kinda suck.)
