The last few weeks, I have started to review online poker sites in an effort to weed through the wasted Google reviews and find one that fits what I was looking for. If you have tried to play poker in the last few years online and live in the US, you will know how hard it can be. Lot's of websites use third party payment processors and allow you to deposit but when it comes to cashing out, you may find yourself in a questionable area.
The requirements to review were simple.
- easy to deposit - bitcoin or any crypto
- active players in the tables - need players at the poker tables
- sports betting lines that are competitive - some sites with little volume have lines that are not comparable to Vegas
- deposit bonuses - not just starting, but reload ones
I came accross BetOnline.ag which has fit the bill.
Deposits are available through normal Credit Cards and also Bitcoin. The other great thing about this site is while some you need to get phone calls or emails and dig for bonus codes, every deposit here you click View Promo Codes and get to pick your bonus every deposit! When you withdraw, you can request Bitcoin or Ethereum and the processing is up to 48 hours but no fees.
Poker
The poker tables and interface is great. There is about 1200+ people online anytime I have looked and tables are busy with good action and pretty quick to get off a waitlist into a game. For tournaments, there is running ones with free rolls getting over 2,000 people for a $300 prize pool. If you rather buy in, about every 15 minutes there are smaller buy in ones and a few larger buy in tournaments every hour or two. I have not tried the mobile interface yet but they do allow you to play on iOS in the web browser and also Android when you download an app. Lastly, the $0.50-$1 and up tables have the Bad Beat Jackpot eligible games. The history shows it has hit every 2-3 months and pays out over $100,000. Anyone playing at a bad beat table also gets a share as well as the main table which is a perk.
Casino
Casino games are standard. They have live dealers for Blackjack, Roulette, and Super6. They also have plenty of standard online gambling games like Craps and slot machines if that is your interest. I did not play much but the blackjack works great on a mobile phone and was a fun time waster.
Sportsbook
You get free play bets as well as your normal money when wagering. Lots of games and options to wager on. Lines are very fair and tons of options to bet on including teaser bets and props.
Esports
I personally don't follow this but the interface, like the rest of the sports looks very in line with the other site and easy to use.
Horses
For very little horse betting I do, the interface is simple to use. Races are the common ones and all normal bets are available.
Support
The support team is available by chat. I had a question about a deposit I made since I used Bitcoin and they were responsive and helpful.
As an avid sports better and poker player, this will now be the go to site for me. I am very impressed so far with the site and the ability to use Bitcoin. If you are looking for a place to try, I think it is worth it and sign up and get 100% match on your Bitcoin deposit.
