As some of you may know, I've played poker seriously for the last four years. Being stuck in an online poker unfriendly country like the United States, our options for sites are limited. With the promise of a stateless, decentralized, digital currency like bitcoin, this barrier can be overcome by a polished site like Betcoin, currently a member of the Winning Poker Network (WPN).

WHO ARE THEY?

 Betcoin runs a fully functional casino, sportsbook, and poker operation. While I don't mess with games of chance like casino games and sports-betting, I have been playing on their poker network partners at WPN for over a year. Using the exact same software as you will find on an America's Cardroom, Betcoin's poker room offers many of the features you would expect of a top-notch online poker site.


GAMEPLAY

One thought strikes you when you first play a hand on Betcoin's software: My God, that action is smooth. While nothing may top the decade-proven efficiency of the PokerStars platform, Betcoin's software is as slick as you'll find on a US-facing poker site. Hands are dealt quick, pot amounts are clearly denoted, and there are a multitude of features you would normally expect of a professional poker site, including player notes, granular control of sound effects (notifications only, please!), and four-color decks.

Also on Betcoin, you enjoy the liquidity of the WPN player pool. Not only does The Winning Poker Network rank in the top 25 of player traffic (dwarfing every other bitcoin-only site), but also you are back playing with the rest of the world, instead of these restrictive intrastate, ringfenced operations; there is room for growth.

Primarily a tournament grinder, I appreciate having access to the improving tournament schedule of the WPN with my bitcoin, with a variety of game types, formats, and structures. And yes, there are plenty of VIP/rakeback levels to attain for you volume players out there.



The Cons: As a member of the Winning Poker Network using their software platform, Betcoin is constrained by similar software issues found throughout the network. One of the biggest, in my estimation, is the inability to check mucked showdown hands. Information is power, and poker is a game of incomplete information. Lacking an essential piece of info when checking your hand histories versus your opponents is a glaring oversight I am confused about why WPN will not fix.

Lately, the network's stability has come under attack, with several fits of DDoS attacks hampering tournament series, Sundays, and other big traffic times (again, this is the network's fault, not necessarily Betcoin's).

Although my heads-up display (HUD) PokerTracker4 works on other Winning Poker Network sites, it doesn't work at all on Betcoin, being able to track my hands but not show the HUD on my open tables. For the multi-tabler like myself, this is a huge deterrent.



COMMUNITY

One the most underrated aspects of Betcoin is the community of players it has built. With a scrolling Player Chat on the community page alongside the latest news/corporate shillages, er, messages, Betcoin definitely looks out for, and celebrates with, their own. Most notable was its recent 10 BTC Anti-Collusion Freeroll, where management rewarded the community watch nature of its players having outed some unsavory activity with a giveaway tournament open to all Betcoiners.



RACKING UP

All in all, Betcoin is as pleasant a poker experience as you're going to find for your bitcoin at the moment. While a HUD monkey like myself may limit my exposure to the site until there's a PT4 fix, Betcoin offers far better graphics than Seals, nearly the liquidity of Merge, and the unmatched cashout speed of the blockchain.

Excellent question - and the purpose of this site.

I'm featured in this article from the esteemed The Atlantic, which endeavors to find out why.

“Can you imagine what it would have been like to own a piece of email technology in 1994?” asks Jackson, who believes the currency is still very much in its early adoption phase. “That’s what Bitcoin is like right now, and it’s only getting bigger.”

Pff: Let's just say I didn't wait the five minutes...

Won't fit a suitcase, will fit a BTC wallet (photo: Joe Giron/WSOP)
Each year at this time, thousands of poker enthusiasts descend upon the Las Vegas Valley  to participate in the storied World Series of Poker (WSOP), often bringing with them untold sums of cash in order to participate. The buy-ins to these events scale up from the $500 Casino Employees Event to the uber-high roller $1,000,000 Big One for One Drop. Even just for the limitless cash games running alongside the WSOP, the cash on hand with players boggles the mind.

So it comes as little surprise that reports came on the first day of the Series that players at the Rio have had their hotel rooms robbed of cash and valuables. While hotel theft of valuables is an issue across the hospitality industry, the loss of large sums of cash can be directly avoided by poker players at the Series if the WSOP high command would do one, little thing...

Adopt bitcoin. 

Naturally, as the founder of Blacks In Bitcoin, I am going to be biased. However, as a poker player, I am always astounded by how much cash changes hands at large poker festivals such as the WSOP. While our bankrolls depend upon larger than average walking around amounts of cash, bitcoin is a simple, elegant solution to poker players becoming walking, international traveling targets for theft and robbery.


Caesars Entertainment! Allow me to enumerate the benefits of accepting bitcoin at the cage:

- Digital, quick transactions of large sums of cash in the same amount of time it would take to count it out for the cameras, if not quicker.

- Meet my friends Coinbase and Bitpay. They have an excellent track record in helping large businesses accept bitcoin transactions and instantaneously convert them into the currency of their choice, eliminating any bitcoin price volatility risk.

- Potentially more international player participation as the traveler will no longer be burdened by additional customs and banking hassles due to traveling with large sums of cash.

- Heightened player safety, as they are no longer walking targets.


Players! It is my pleasure to remind you of the convenience of using bitcoin at the cage:

- I repeat: No more walking targets.

- Getting your money in and out of the country in a form other than cash is now cheaper
and easier than ever (even cheaper than an "out of ATM network" withdrawal or traveler's cheques).

It's like a bank in your hands (photo: Wikimedia Commons)
- You can access your bitcoin wallet on that smartphone you keep checking between the glacial pace of live poker hands. And if you ever lose that phone or it gets stolen, you can just go to any Internet connected computer to check on your bitcoin wallet and move the funds to another wallet if you would like. If you lose cash or have it stolen...it gone.

- Increased peace of mind that your money is safe while you play.

I am sure the poobahs at Caesars and WSOP would have to run this up the flagpole with the ever-present Nevada Gaming Control Board for approval. However, with so much infrastructure continuing to be built around "the Internet of money," bitcoin is not a fad - it's big business. I see no reason why bitcoin shouldn't be a viable option by next year's World Series.

Test it out at a few WSOPC (Circuit) stops over the next year to work out the kinks. Because if you won't bitcoin, I am sure the eagle eyes of the poker landscape from the European Poker Tour to the World Poker Tour and beyond, will bitcoin.
