Poker is such a rich game; seeing every part of it was super important before diving into the technicalities. If you know which site, type, variation and coin you want to use, the only thing left to play poker with crypto is the actual deposit.
Don’t let cryptocurrencies scare you. The process is just like buying something online. Here are the steps you’ll need to follow.
Start An Account
We’ll need two accounts to begin with. One with the poker site you chose from our selection and one in a crypto exchange of your choice. Binance, Bybit and Coinbase are three solid options if you are asking.
Get Some Crypto
Enter the exchange, and using your debit card, buy the amount you want to bet with in crypto. For moderate budgets, we’d recommend coins like BNB, Solana, XRP or Tron that have minimal fees. High rollers could choose the same or go with the established options of Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Once the bankroll is purchased, transfer it to a private crypto wallet. This move will secure your identity and won’t risk flagging your account with gambling-related transactions. The instructions in any exchange’s withdrawal section will help with that, so follow them precisely.
Deposit
Supposing your wallet is full of coins, next is depositing. Log in to the crypto poker site you selected, click the big ‘Deposit’ button, find your coin and complete the payment with the steps shown in the prompted box. If everything has gone to plan, your account should be topped up within a couple of minutes max, depending on the coin.
Find a Table & Play
Let’s get to action. Head over to the casino lobby and find a table of the variation you prefer. For more gameplay, start with a table of smaller blinds to get a feel for the game and minimise your risk exposure.
Cash Out Your Winnings
If you keep outsmarting the dealer or other fellow players, you should be sitting on a nice amount of winnings. Cash some of them out and enjoy. To withdraw from a crypto poker site, paste your wallet’s address in the specified field and voila. Sweet winnings are now safe in the wallet, ready to be relished.
