Our review of the games, rakeback, software, cashier and account rules that separate these two rooms.
Our first pass made Blockchain Poker and Juicy Stakes look closer than they are. Once we separated the welcome offers from the everyday product, the meaningful differences were traffic, game access, tracking tools and account friction.
We would start with Blockchain Poker. Juicy Stakes has the higher listed trust score at 70/100 compared with 68/100. Juicy Stakes lists 800 players while Blockchain Poker lists 20. We still see a case for Juicy Stakes if its NLHE and PLO offering or 36% rakeback better matches the way you play.
