    While a number of online Bitcoin poker rooms have appeared over the past year, they've all suffered from the same couple of problems. Firstly you couldn't play them on your smartphone or tablet and secondly the traffic was way too low. Thankfully BetCoin Poker appear to have solved both of these problems. Firstly, they've joined the popular Winning Poker Network, which means they have access to a much larger player pool that other Bitcoin poker sites. While they don't offer a downloadable Bitcoin poker app, you can play BetCoin poker on an iPhone, iPad or Android devices like a Samsung Galaxy by downloading the free Puffin web browser from the iTunes App Store or Google Play.

    Why do you need to use the Puffin browser instead of the Safari or Chrome browsers? Also, can I deposit with Litecoin?

    The reason you need to install Puffin is because the Betcoin poker client is Flash based. You're probably already aware that iOS and Android devices do not play flash videos or run flash based games. The Puffin browser does support flash which means you'll be able to play BetCoin poker on your smartphone or tablet.

    Yes, you can make lightening fast deposits or withdrawals using either Litecoin or Bitcoin.

    One of the biggest drawback of the Betcoin poker software is that it is flash based. Since neither iOS or Android phones support flash you need to download the Puffin browser. The good news is mBit have now released a HTML5 poker app that can be played directly from the Chrome or Safari browser of your phone. mBit poker supports Texas Hold'em and Omaha cash, as well as scheduled and buy-in tournaments. The new mBit United States mobile poker site is discussed in more detail in this thread http://forums.androidbettingapps.co...bitcoin-mobile-poker-on-your-phone-in-the-USA

    do bitcoin poker rooms charge for withdrawals? how long does a payout typically take? i've been waiting over two months for a cheque from carbon poker because i live in the u.s.a. so i'm eager to find an alternative?

    Payouts are generally free with bitcoin poker rooms so you do save about 3% every time you withdraw your cash. I've cashed out from both betcoin and mbit and it never took longer than a few hours.

    is bitcoin a good way to pay no tax on your gambling profits?

    I personally never met anyone who voluntarily paid tax on their poker winnings. I'm not an expert on bitcoin but I guess since it's completely anonymous it would be pretty hard for the IRS to track you down.

    If you convert your bitcoin poker bankroll back to dollars and deposit it in your regular bank account, you will have to pay tax on it. I'd recommend you just keep most of your bitcoin winnings in a cold wallet and spend the rest at sites that accept bitcoin like Expedia or Dell Computers.

    I've gotten a couple of withdrawals within a couple of hours so it's super fast.

    withdrawals have to be confirmed by clicking on a link they send to their email account as well for extra security. i just wish they would hurry up and release a version that doesn't require a flash browser.

    Full Flush Poker is a scam. Nobody should deposit money at this poker room.

    why is there tons of traffic at betcoin tournaments but regular ring games are pretty quiet?

    BetCoin are part of a network called the Winning Tournament Network so they share the same tournaments player pool as True Poker, Americas Cardroom and Black Chip. For ring games, however, they are on their own.

    If they are on the same network as Americas Cardroom, why not just play at Americas Cardroom?
