Pinco Poker is a new brand from a well-known online casino. In 2025, the platform launched its own browser-based poker room. We spent a week on the inside testing the poker site, to share our impressions with you.
For our players, Pinco Poker will be remarkable for a few simple reasons, like traffic from casino enthusiasts and generous starting bonuses. However, this room also has its own unique features.
Creating a Pinco Poker Account
The "Registration" button is located in the upper right corner of the website's main page. When you click it, you'll be offered two options for creating an account: email or phone number. We were able to register without any problems.
You can also select your account type there, choosing different currencies for the platform displays. The usual US currency is not available, despite all buy-ins being listed in US dollars. When you sit down at the tables, the currency is automatically converted from your selected currency.
On the same registration page, you can choose one of three starting bonuses. The poker bonus will match your deposit 100% up to CAD $1,400, with a wagering requirement of 120 days.
It is important to choose a bonus at the registration stage.After creating an account, we recommend immediately completing verification. This can be done in your account profile, in the section with the unusual name "Details and Editing." You'll need to provide photos of your national or international passport. You can take them using a webcam or the Pinco Android app, or upload them from your device. The room will then ask you to confirm that the documents are yours by moving your head in front of the camera. The entire process, from photo upload to identity verification, took about 5 minutes.
Verification can be conveniently completed via a smartphone app as wellIn the same "Details and Editing" section, you can confirm your email address and phone number, as well as disable marketing communications. A "Log Out" button is also hidden on this page.
Deposits and Withdrawals
The "Cash Desk" section is located in the upper right corner of the main page. There, you can immediately check the "Geolocation Methods" box, which will display only the options available for your country.
The room offers a wide range of withdrawal and deposit methods: crypto (including exchanges), e-wallets, Interac, and bank cards. Options depend on your location.
If necessary, you can create a crypto wallet directly in the room's client. Pinco charges no commission.
Deposit:
| Method | Minimum Deposit (CAD) | Maximum Deposit (CAD) |
|---|---|---|
| Interac | 20 | 3,000 |
| Bank Cards | 17 | 3,000 |
| Crypto | 10 USDT | — |
We topped up our account via the SBP and USDT—the deposit was credited within 3 minutes.
Conclusion:
| Method | Minimum Withdrawal (CAD) | Maximum Withdrawal (CAD) |
|---|---|---|
| Visa / MasterCard | 20 | 5,600 |
| Interac | 30 | 5,600 |
| Crypt | 25 Equivalent | 14,000 Equivalent |
The withdrawal arrived on your card within 10 minutes, but the room warns that in rare cases, the withdrawal may take up to two days. Pinco may also require verification if you haven't done so already.
Software and Ease of Play
Pinco Poker is a browser-based room, so there's no dedicated desktop client. You can access the poker section from the website's main page by selecting the "PINCO Poker" category in the left-hand column.
When you visit the website, the address bar may prompt you to download the "Pinco Web" app. This isn't a separate piece of software, but a desktop shortcut for accessing the room without a browser.
Pinco Poker's home screenPinco has a dedicated app for Android phones. You can download the APK file from the website by scrolling down to "Our Apps." iOS software was not available at the time of our test drive. The mobile version is optimized for smartphones and has the same design and features as the browser version.
Pinco Poker's software will seem familiar to those who have played on browser-based poker rooms like 1Win, Stake, or Surf. In 2026, their functionality is not much inferior to rooms with downloadable clients, although it still falls short in terms of user-friendliness and smoothness. Occasionally, you may encounter minor lags and freezes, especially when opening multiple tables.
At the top of the start screen, you can choose between cash or MTT. The lobby is simple and intuitive.
In the Cash Games section, you can sort tables by desired parameters—game type, limit, and so on.
The MTT section's schedule is classic: start time, registration status, type, guarantee, and buy-in. Double-clicking opens detailed information on the structure and prize pool.
The "Settings" button is located in the upper left corner of the tables. It contains all the necessary settings, including betting options, buy-ins and rebuys, table themes, big blind stacks, automatic Run It Twice, and other standard options.
The tables themselves are designed to keep a casual casino player from getting bored. Large avatars of attractive people of both genders, emojis, and a wide range of options for throwing all sorts of things at your opponents.
In the top left, you can switch between active tables. Incidentally, you can open as many as your device can handle. By clicking the button in the top right, you can arrange the open tables in a tiled or cascaded pattern. The replay, rebuy, and full-screen mode are also available there.
Software is prohibited in the room, and it's impossible to download hand histories. You can view previous hands at a specific table using the "My Hands" menu item. When we started the test drive, clicking on an opponent's avatar brought up a window with their stats, but the actual stats weren't displayed. Currently, only color-coded indicators are available. Perhaps an internal HUD will be added.
Pinco Poker Cash Games
Pinco boasts good traffic compared to other browser-based poker rooms. Even during the day, up to 20 tables are often filled at low and mid-stakes Hold'em. Things get even better by evening. At 5:00 PM GMT on Friday, the room had about 30 full tables, with the largest number at NL10 and NL50, with 10 each.
Occasionally, NL100 and NL200 games also gather, though no pattern has been identified. On a weekend evening, there might be only one table per 100 players, while at 1:00 PM on Tuesday, there are as many as three, plus a couple at NL200.
Friday LobbyThe game is primarily played in 6-max Hold'em. There's no full ring, and during the test drive, only a lone 5-card Omaha player was spotted, waiting for a casual opponent. There are tables with bomb pots, marked with a bomb in the lobby. At these tables, 5 big blinds are taken from each player every 20 hands. These are rare; for example, in the screenshot above, there are none at all. There's also a game with a straddle, which local fans enjoy.
An icon marks tables with the Bad Beat Jackpot, which awards between 1.25% and 40% of the prize pool depending on the limit being played. To activate, you must lose with a hand of AAAKK or higher. The prize is split as follows:
- 35% – to the loser with a strong combination
- 15% to the winner of the giveaway
- 20% – to other active players at BBJ tables (equal shares)
- 30% – returned to the next jackpot fund.
At the time of writing, the Bad Beat Jackpot was around US$50,000.
The minimum buy-in is 40 big blinds. The lobby is completely open, allowing you to see players' nicknames and sit in any available seat, or join the queue for a table.
The level of cash game play at Pinco Poker is exactly what you'd expect in a casino room. Plenty of enthusiasts, frantic action on any two hands, pathological phone calls, and endless limps. A simple strategy—get a good hand and quickly load up your stack—seems optimal.
Limps are the main weapon of local amateursIn short, the game here is highly recommended for low and mid-stakes players. You can open as many tables as you like, and NL50 regulars can really get a full workload here in the evenings.
Pinco Poker Tournaments
Pinco tournament traffic is significantly worse than cash games. Around ten tournaments are held daily, with buy-ins ranging from $0.50 to $5.50 and guarantees for 20-30 players. Knockouts and rebuys are available, all in turbo mode, with 6-minute levels. The largest daily tournament is $300 Wild Prime GTD for $5.50. Freerolls are not yet available.
On weekend evenings, two flagship MTTs take place: the Legends Saturday KO $1,000 GTD at 11 and the Legends Grand Sunday with a $1,500 guaranteed prize pool and a $22 buy-in. These have the most enjoyable structures, with levels lasting 10 minutes.
Tournament schedule for the weekendWhile MTT traffic at Pinco is worse than cash games, the level of amateur play is even better. The nagging thought that opponents don't fully understand the rules of the game constantly haunts me. However, the most likely reason is that regulars simply have no business playing tournaments at Pinco Poker.
Rake and Rakeback on Pinco Poker
The room takes a 10% commission from the tournament and 5% from each pot in cash.
| Blinds (USD) | Rake | Cap rake (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| 0.01/0.02 | 5% | 0.2 |
| 0.02/0.05 | 5% | 0.5 |
| 0.05/0.10 | 5% | 1 |
| 0.10/0.25 | 5% | 1.5 |
| 0.25/0.50 | 5% | 2.5 |
| 0.5/1 | 5% | 3 |
| 1/2 | 5% | 4 |
The loyalty program pays out 20% of the rake paid every Monday without any conditions, but no more than USD $2,200 per week.

Read Read💵 $1,000 Step Race
Regular step races for GipsyTeam players will also be held at Pinco Poker: the "Easy Target" promotion will award $1,000 every ten days.
As a reminder, in a typical rake race, rewards go to the top of the leaderboard—the players who have accumulated the most points. In a step race, there are additional prizes (step prizes) that are awarded to several groups of participants, with one random player receiving a prize in each group. Therefore, even if you don't make it to the top, you still have a chance to win a prize.
The drawing takes place after the end of each scoring period.
The main prizes are awarded to the top five players, with the winner receiving US$250. Additionally, a step prize will be awarded to three players in the top 35, one from each group, randomly selected:
| Place | Prize (USD) | Step Prize (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 250 | 250 |
| 2 | 150 | |
| 3 | 100 | |
| 4 | 50 | |
| 5 | 25 | |
| 6-15 | — | 125 |
| 16-35 | — | 50 |
Prizes are credited to the account within a week after the race ends.
There's no need to register separately for the race; all accounts created via the GipsyTeam link (the registration form is at the bottom of the page) participate. For every $1 of rake, one point is counted towards the leaderboard. Tournaments, cash games, fast poker, and Sit & Gos are counted.
Races take place every 10 days. Upcoming dates:
- April 15 (00:00) – April 25 (23:59)
- April 25 (00:00) – May 5 (23:59)
- May 5 (00:00) – May 15 (23:59)
Our Final Opinion After Testing Pinco Poker
Registration and verification are excellent.
Creating an account takes just a couple of clicks, and you don't even need to wait for email or phone number verification. Identity verification requires only one document and takes about 5 minutes.
Deposits and withdrawals are excellent.
Deposits and withdrawals are fast, and in addition to crypto, bank cards and Interac were available.
The software is fine.
Pinco Poker works almost flawlessly, and we encountered no critical bugs or lags during our test drive—it all depends on your PC. However, it's important to remember that this is a browser-based room, so don't expect the same level of comfort as traditional platforms.
Traffic is normal.
For a room launched in 2025, the number of cash tables is very decent; you can find a game at low and mid-stakes even on weekdays. Unfortunately, the number of MTT tournaments is extremely limited, and the guarantees are tiny.
Rakeback and promotions are fine.
Pinco has a unified loyalty program for everyone: 20% cashback once a week, regardless of rake paid. For your first deposit of up to CAD $1,400, you'll receive a 100% bonus and up to 120 days to clear it.
The treatment of regulars is good.
You can open as many tables as you want in the room, and the cash game lobby is completely open, so selecting is not prohibited during the test drive. However, trackers are not supported, and even minimal statistics are missing from player profiles.
