Crypto currency, and especially the Bitcoin have gained a huge popularity in the last few years. So it was quite obvious that one day we could play poker directly in bitcoins. There are multiple websites that allow this, and one of them is Nitrogen Sports.
As the name implies, this is not only a poker website, but actually has 3 main categories: Sport bets, Poker and Casino. While the Casino section only has 8 games, the sport bets category offers plenty of options to choose from (football, baseball, soccer, basketball, tennis and 15 other sports). And they even have an entertainment category where you can bet who will sit on the iron throne at the end of Season 8 of Game of Thrones :)
But let’s get back to the Bitcoin Poker site. The game runs straight from your browser, meaning that you don’t need to install any dedicated program and you can play it from any computer, laptop, tablet or phone. The game is denominated in mBTC chips, where 1 chip equals 1/1000 of a bitcoin). Another big advantage of playing poker on Nitrogen Sports is that there are no country or state restrictions, and anyone from anywhere in the world is welcomed to join. While the website is not so popular yet, you will still have plenty of opponents to play with.
Creating an account is not that difficult and then you can start playing right away. You have 3 options to choose from: Cash, Sit & Go or Tournaments. Before beginning to play, you might also want to consider changing various settings, themes, sounds and avatars, in order to make your game easier. As on most other poker websites, the most popular game is the No Limit Texas Hold’em and you can play 9-handed, 6-max or heads up. There are various tables to choose from, depending on how much you are willing to spend. Don’t ever forget that these are bitcoins, not dollars and what might seem like a tiny number (0,01) is not such a small sum ($63).
An interesting game that you might want to try is Crazy Hold’em. On the website there are also daily and weekly tournaments that you can participate in, some of them having very interesting prizes. There are also sit and go-s and daily freerolls with prizes that can go up to 1.8 BTC ($11,500) per week.
While the game itself is very basic (nothing fancy compared to a software that needs to be installed), it runs smoothly and it’s easy to use for everyone. The great part of not having fancy graphics and other artefacts, is that the game will run great on any device and any browser.
As we already mentioned, Nitrogen Sports is a Bitcoin Poker website so all transactions take place in this currency. You will need a Bitcoin address and adding money to the account might take a few minutes, while withdrawing money from the website may take up to 2 hours.
Overall Nitrogen Sports is a great Bitcoin Poker website and if you are passionate about this game and have some Bitcoin to spare, then this might be a great place for you!
