Bitcoin poker rooms? Stake new poker room thoughts?

[pokermon]

Hi everyone, I recently received a newsletter from Stake, where I sometimes play slots and place sports bets, saying that they've opened a new poker room with the option to pay with crypto. Who's already here? What do you think? In my opinion, it's not bad. I'd be happy to exchange thoughts and play together. Just to clarify, I'm talking about Stake.com, not Stake.us.

What about game variety? Any Omaha or mixed games?

Mostly Hold'em for now, but they've started adding some PLO tables. No mixed games yet, but fingers crossed they'll expand the offerings soon.

How does Stake's poker room compare to other crypto poker sites like SwCPoker or Blockchain.poker?

@AmmI Good question! I've played on all three. Stake's got the smoothest software, SwC has the most game variety, and Blockchain.poker has the fastest payouts. Stake's traffic is growing fast though, which is a big plus.

Thanks for all the great info, everyone! I played a few SNGs last night and had a blast. The software really is smooth, and the games seemed pretty soft. Loving the instant deposits and withdrawals with crypto too. Definitely gonna make this part of my regular rotation.

Any word on when they might add rakeback or a loyalty program?

@Abram5 They've already got a pretty sweet rakeback system in place. It's tied to your VIP level on the main Stake site. I'm getting about 15% back, which ain't too shabby.

How's the customer support? Had any issues that needed resolving?

@I)ebb1 Support's been solid in my experience. Had a question about a tournament payout, got a response within an hour. They seem to have their act together.

Gotta say, I'm impressed with Stake's entry into the poker world. They've clearly put some thought into this. If they can keep up the good work and maybe add some more game types, they could be a real contender in the crypto poker space.
