    Seals With Clubs, a popular Bitcoin-only poker site, has shut down citing security concerns. The site was taken offline in mid February because the current software experienced technical and security issues that put the Bitcoin poker room in a "perpetual state of jeopardy". The good news is they believe that none of the their players Bitcoin wallets were compromised and their players are free to withdraw their funds for a limited time period.

    While other poker rooms like Switch Poker continue to accept the crypto-currency, this is bad news for US-based real money players as Seals With Clubs were the only Bitcoin Android poker site to welcome US players.

    Seals With Clubs have relaunched with new software at a brand new domain SwCPoker.eu. According to the reports the ex CEO of SealsWithClubs bought the company and reopened with improved software. The bad news is the new site currently only offers their players a PC Client and there are no mobile options. We've checked their FAQ section and there is no mention of them planning to rerelease their Android poker client.

    Bitcoin poker players may be interested to know that they can now play mobile poker at mBit casino. Their poker app is compatible with all smartphones running iOS, Android and Windows Phone. Players from anywhere in the United States are welcome to play Texas Hold'em and Omaha cash games on their iPhone 6 or Samsung Galaxy Note. Poker tournaments are also supported plus the site runs a number of daily free rolls.

    SwitchPoker no longer allow their players to use bitcoin which is a shame.

    Switch have virtually no traffic so it's not that huge a loss. They didn't welcome U.S. players either even if they used bitcoin so the whole thing was a little pointless.

    If you want to play bitcoin poker on your iPhone or Android you should give this mobile poker site a chance http://forums.androidbettingapps.co...bitcoin-mobile-poker-on-your-phone-in-the-USA

    Player traffic at SealsWithClubs was pretty low also, usually somewhere between 100 and 150 players. They should join a larger poker network to attract more players like BetCoin have done.

    Americas Cardroom (who are part of the large US facing Winning Poker Network) will be launching a real money mobile poker app in the near future and they now accept Bitcoin also.

    Not yet. A version has been released for Mac but they are still working on an iPhone and Android Americas Cardroom poker app. They haven't given a release date but we expect it in the first half of 2016.

    We've recently been looking at the Nitrogen poker software that is compatible with iOS/Android/Windows Phone. While it doesn't have the high traffic of BetCoin, the mobile poker gameplay is excellent and you can play it on the Safari/Chrome browser of any iPhone or Android. Find our how to install it and play bitcoin poker for real money in the USA http://forums.androidbettingapps.co...mobile-poker-on-iOS-Android-and-Windows-Phone
