CoinPoker

CoinPoker is a cryptocurrency-based online poker room offering cash games and tournaments, with a roster of ambassadors and players who regularly discuss the games in public. Its growth has brought both major event guarantees and scrutiny of how its tables operate.

Poker Type reports on CoinPoker tournament results, new series, high-stakes action, platform changes and the pros representing the room. Our coverage also examines rake structures, preflop charges, player feedback and security or fairness issues when they arise.

The stories below include our reporting on CoinPoker’s cash-game rake changes and the response from ambassador Patrick Leonard, alongside tournament headlines and other developments. We aim to show what players actually face when they sit down, not just repeat promotional copy.
