Join through Crypto Poker DB and complete Account Verification. You get the standard $50 plus $25 extra for Crypto Poker DB players ($5 in each currency), so $75 in total. Verification is optional, so you can still play without it.
Swaps between currencies now happen on the fly at about 101% of market rate. 3% is paid as Boost credits, which reward players who play cash games.
The 200% deposit bonus, capped at $10,000, sits beside the $75 verification offer and activates automatically. Cash-game rake clears it at $0.50 for each $1 in rake; tournament fees do not clear this bonus. The official FAQ gives a 60-day qualifying-deposit window and 90 days to earn each claimed bonus. Withdrawals may cancel unearned bonus funds. The initial free crypto and faucet awards do not need bonus clearing.
Up to 100% traditional rakeback is available with Boosts, or up to 300% when rewards are used to host a community MTT. Rakeback accrues in real time from your contribution to each pot and can be claimed in the Rakeback dialog. Boosts can multiply the base rate by up to 20×. Boost commitments are returned as you play through them; they are not an immediate cash refund. There are no rakeback VIP tiers.
Blockchain Poker is an independent browser poker room with automatic accounts and no sign-up form. The Highlights lobby brings together cash games, Sit & Gos, and multi-table tournaments. No-Limit Hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha cash tables both run in the lobby; PLO tables were open at 1/2 satoshi blinds on 12 October 2026. When you create your own cash table, the rules menu offers No-Limit Hold’em, Hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha, with limit, pot-limit or no-limit betting, one to four hole cards, and heads-up, 6-seat or 9-seat tables.
Jackpot Sit & Gos offer a top prize of up to 25,000× the buy-in. The maximum varies by entry tier, so not every Jackpot game has the same top prize. The operator reports that the revised schedule also increases the chance of 25×–100× payouts. Check the selected game's prize table and odds before entering; the headline maximum is not a typical result.
MTT hosts earn 50% of tournament registration fees as players enter their events. This is a share of fees, not half of the prize pool. Hosts can customize the tournament structure and entry settings. The host fee share is separate from the Boost rewards that can reach 300% when used for community MTT hosting.
Daily, weekly, and monthly challenges offer rewards for their listed goals. Read the active challenge for its target, deadline, and reward. Freerolls run around the clock, and free starting balances let you try the client without a deposit. The faucet has no fixed total claim limit. When you run out of chips, you can claim again within the client's reasonable-use limits.
Play uses native BTC, BCH, XEC, FIRMA, and LTC units. FIRMA is a USD stablecoin on eCash, not a bank-dollar balance. SideShift provides swaps from more than 300 cryptocurrencies into the five supported balances. Check the available asset, quote, fee, and address in the cashier before a transfer.
The account is created on arrival, without an email or registration form. Set a password to keep access to it; the automatic username can be changed. Account verification is optional.
The browser client supports multiple tables in pop-out windows, hand histories under Profile > View (Hands Played), and both Quick Settings and a main Settings dialog. Use your operating system to arrange table windows. Built-in stacking and an officially supported HUD are not available; tools that take actions for a player are prohibited.
The linked Anjouan certificate showed VALID for Highcard Software SRL and licence ALSI-202511029-FI2 on 4 October 2026. The operator reports GLI verification of its RNG, but the public certificate does not name a GLI report. The client has no player-verifiable seed system. Read the licence and country checks before using the cashier.
The country rule depends on whether you have deposited. Clause 4.1 of the client terms, read on 6 October 2026, bars anyone who has made a direct deposit from accessing Blockchain Poker from Austria, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Comoros, the UK, the USA, Canada, FATF-blacklisted countries and other places the Anjouan Offshore Financial Authority prohibits. The licence certificate adds Australia. The terms make no VPN exception. They test where you access the site from, so a US player who deposits and connects through a VPN is still in breach, and clause 11.7 says withdrawals may not be processed after that kind of breach. An account that has never been funded falls outside the deposit clause, but your local law still applies.
Blockchain Poker is a strong choice for players who want automatic browser access, native crypto balances, and several ways to earn rewards. The repeat faucet and 24/7 freerolls make it easy to start; the deposit bonus, Boosts, challenges, and MTT host fee share give regular players more to explore. Use the Crypto Poker DB link to open the room, and check country access and the cashier terms in the client before you deposit.
