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.
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. 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.
Play uses native BTC, BCH, XEC, FIRMA, and LTC units. FIRMA is a USD stablecoin on eCash, not a bank-dollar balance. 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.
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.
Blockchain Poker suits players who want automatic browser access and native crypto balances. Use the Crypto Poker DB link to open the room, and check country access and the cashier terms in the client before you deposit.
