It depends on what you play. SwC Poker is our pick for mixed games and privacy. ACR is stronger for big tournaments, and GGPoker has the most players.
Are crypto poker sites safe?
Safety varies by room. Check who licenses it, keep only your playing money on the site, and withdraw winnings to your own wallet. A room with no published licence has no regulator to complain to if something goes wrong.
What's the difference between a Bitcoin poker site and a site that accepts Bitcoin?
A Bitcoin poker site, like SwC, keeps your balance and stakes in Bitcoin. A site that accepts Bitcoin may convert your deposit into another currency for play and convert it back when you withdraw.
Can I play crypto poker in the US?
Online poker is licensed in only a handful of US states, such as New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Michigan, and offshore crypto rooms aren't licensed in any of them. Check your state's law before you play.
What is rake?
The fee a room takes for running the game. In cash games it's usually a percentage of each pot, often around 5%, up to a cap per hand. In tournaments it's a fee added to the buy-in.
What is rakeback?
The share of your rake a room pays back to you, as cash, points or tokens.
What is an SwC chip worth?
One chip is 0.000001 BTC, so 1,000,000 chips equal 1 BTC.
Do crypto poker sites ask for ID?
Some do. ACR asks for ID before withdrawals. Rules change, so check each room's terms before you deposit.
