Unlike conventional internet poker sites that use fiat currency, on CoinPoker players bet with Tether (USDT) and the site is able to take advantage of the blockchain to show user funds are safe and segregated.

Online poker was rocked by the Full Tilt Poker scandal in 2011, in which user funds were co-mingled with operating funds, and the company went insolvent in the industry’s ‘Black Friday’.

Many top poker sites increasingly accept cryptocurrencies as a deposit method, but CoinPoker is among a small and growing contingent to go ‘all in’ and embrace it for all actions at the poker table. Players can deposit USDT, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Binance Coin or its own native token CHP which unlocks 33% for holders.
