CoinPoker Review: Cash Games, Tournaments, Rakeback & Deposits

CoinPoker is a crypto poker room launched in 2017 that runs all real-money games in USDT. The poker site offers Hold’em, PLO, PLO5, PLO6, Short Deck, K-Poker, Bomb Pot and All-In or Fold alongside a regular tournament schedule. Its CoinRewards program includes $6 million in monthly CoinRaces, Splash Pots and personalised offers, while the optional paid 3-Bet Club provides a separate return on eligible poker fees. Players can deposit with crypto, bank cards and supported e-wallets.

CoinPoker was originally associated with Antanas “Tony G” Guoga, one of the best-known figures in poker and crypto. The room has also hosted major online cash-game events, including the 2024 and 2025 High Stakes Cash Game World Championships.

In March 2026, CoinPoker rolled out a major platform update affecting the lobby, table design, mobile access, loyalty programme, cashout rules and rake structure. Further changes followed: the former 15% daily reward was replaced in July, the paid 3-Bet Club appeared in August, and October brought preflop rake after a 3-bet, revised caps and new minimum buy-ins. The current conditions are explained below.

Available Games on CoinPoker

The cash-game offering primarily centres on No-Limit Hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha. CoinPoker does not offer Stud, Razz or traditional mixed games, but spreads Short Deck alongside NLHE, PLO, PLO5 and PLO6. Additional formats include K-Poker, Bomb Pot and All-In or Fold. Standard Hold’em, PLO and PLO5 tables include 6-max and heads-up games, while PLO6 uses heads-up and 5-max tables. Stakes range from micros to high stakes; the VIP Arena advertises games from $50/$100 to $5,000/$10,000.

Under the October 2026 changes, the minimum buy-in is 25BB at standard NLHE tables and 30BB at PLO tables. The update also set antes at 0.25BB on standard NLHE and PLO ante tables, excluding VIP Arena 4-max tables. K-Poker and Bomb Pot games have their own ante rules. Straddles are available at selected tables. Must Show tables reveal the winner’s hole cards even when the hand ends without a showdown. CoinPoker does not currently offer a fast-fold format.

K-Poker is a seven-player Hold’em format with a 10-second decision timer and five preset betting options: 25% pot, 50% pot, pot, twice the pot and all-in. Buy-ins range from 50BB to 100BB. Published stakes start at $0.10/$0.10, with a $0.10 ante from each player.

CoinPoker’s Bomb Pot games use a double board, with two flops, two turns and two rivers. Players post an ante and go directly to the flop, with half the pot awarded on each board. Random Hand tables add occasional bomb pots, while Every Hand tables use the format in every hand.

Cash tables also support Run It Multiple Times (RIMT) for eligible all-ins before the river. Three variants are available: 

• Standard Run It Twice (RIT)
• RIT+1, where a third board is dealt if the same player wins the main pot on both initial runouts
• Interactive RIMT. The interactive option applies when two players are all-in: the player with the higher equity proposes one run, two runs or RIT+1, and the opponent must confirm.

All-In or Fold is played 4-max, with blinds starting from $0.10/$0.25. In Hold’em AoF, players decide whether to go all-in or fold before the flop; in Omaha AoF, they make that decision after seeing the flop. These tables have their own buy-in and fee rules.

The built-in HUD shows VPIP, PFR and other statistics, so players can study opponents directly in the client. External HUDs and tracking overlays are prohibited for CoinPoker play. Play-money mode is also available.

Tournaments 

CoinPoker does not offer single-table SnGs or Spin & Go formats. Its MTT schedule includes re-entry tournaments, progressive knockouts, freezeouts and satellites, with Regular, Turbo, Hyper-Turbo and deep-stack structures. Paid daily MTTs include the $1 Daily Dollar, while weekend high rollers can reach $5,200. Some satellite routes start with $0.01 centrolls. Table size, re-entry limits, late registration and blind levels vary by event; there is no single structure shared by the entire schedule. The following examples come from CoinPoker’s published Sunday schedule:

Freerolls occupy their own area in the lobby, with a Free/Centroll filter for free-entry and one-cent events. Prizes can include cash or tournament tickets, and some periods have starts as often as every 30 minutes. Prize pools, entry conditions and payout structures vary; centrolls cost $0.01 and are not free to enter.

CoinPoker also runs larger series, including the Coin Series of Online Poker (CSOP). The completed August–September 2026 Global Online Poker Championship reported $88.4 million in prizes. The first edition of The One ran from 4–12 October 2026: its $250 buy-in and original $5 million guarantee produced a reported final prize pool of $5,537,000. Another edition is planned for 2027. 

CoinMasters adds a collection challenge to selected tournaments, with physical coins for event winners. Its final-phase countdown began on 30 September 2026 and ends after 60 days or when five players complete their collections, whichever comes first. Finalists compete for an advertised $100,000 poker-career package, while qualifying coin holders can enter Hall of Fame freerolls with $100,000 in combined prize pools. The career package includes cash, sponsorship and a tournament ticket, rather than $100,000 entirely in cash.

The client also includes PokerIntel, Skill Score and Showdown Meter for reviewing results and performance. Tournament players can earn the 3-Bet Club’s Base Reward on eligible fees, while discounted tournament entries are excluded. The former 15% daily reward is no longer available.

Registration and Account Setup

Getting started is straightforward. Here is how to create your account:

1. Follow the CoinPoker registration link on this page and download the appropriate desktop or mobile app. Mobile-browser play is also available without installing an app.
2. Select Sign Up and provide an email address and password. Enter our promo code GTCOM to link your account to GipsyTeam; eligibility for each GipsyTeam promotion depends on that offer’s rules and qualifying period.
3. Confirm your email address using the verification code sent to your inbox.

A basic registration starts with an email address and password, but this does not guarantee withdrawals without document checks. CoinPoker’s terms allow it to request proof of identity, address, payment ownership and source of funds, and to restrict withdrawals until required checks are completed.

The Coin Poker app is available for Windows, macOS, Android and iOS. Players can use the same account credentials across supported devices, and mobile play supports up to five tables at once.

On iPhone and iPad, the direct-install app requires trusting its enterprise developer under Settings → General → VPN & Device Management. Players who prefer to skip installation can use the mobile-browser version. CoinPoker’s iOS instructions explain the available routes.

Promotions and Bonuses

Welcome bonus

The room offers a 150% first-deposit welcome bonus up to $2,000. Select the Poker Welcome Bonus when making your first deposit of at least $10; the offer cannot be added after that first deposit. For example, depositing $100 creates a pending bonus of $150. A deposit of $1,334 is sufficient to qualify for the maximum $2,000. The bonus is released as players generate eligible fees from real-money cash games and tournaments. The clearing rate is 10% of eligible poker fees, and the deadline is 30 days. Every $100 in eligible fees releases $10 of bonus funds, so clearing the full bonus requires fees equal to 10 times the bonus amount.

Cash-game bonus funds are credited automatically after leaving the table, while tournament bonus funds are credited after the event ends. Unreleased bonus funds are not immediately withdrawable cash.

CoinRaces

CoinRaces pays $6 million per month through cash-game leaderboards covering stakes from $0.01/$0.02 to $25/$50. Races are divided into micro, low, mid and high stakes, with Hold’em and K-Poker in one game family and Omaha formats in another.

The $0.01/$0.02 and $0.02/$0.05 races reset every hour; the other groups use two-hour periods. Players who reach paid positions share each prize pool in proportion to their eligible rake relative to the other paid finishers. Participation is automatic, and rewards are normally credited within minutes of a race ending.

Players can track their progress in the client. The CoinRaces terms provide the current stake groups and prize structure.

Splash Pots

A major part of CoinRewards comes from Splash Pots, which add randomly triggered rewards at eligible cash tables up to $25/$50. Regular Splashes range from 2BB to 49BB; Mega Splashes range from 50BB to 1,000BB. The hand winner receives part of the reward, while the remainder is shared among the other players dealt into that hand. There is no guaranteed number of hands between drops. Eligible tables collect an additional 0.1BB Splash fee from each pot, including pots that end preflop. This is a fee per pot, not per player, and Coin Poker allocates the full amount to the Splash Pool.

At $0.01/$0.02 and $0.02/$0.05, the extra fee is waived and the room funds Infused Splash rewards. This does not remove the ordinary cash-game rake or guarantee zero net rake for each player.

3-Bet Club

The 3-Bet Club is an optional paid membership costing $35 for 30 days or $100 for 90 days, with no automatic renewal. Members receive a 10% Base Reward on eligible cash-game and tournament fees. Discounted tournament entries do not qualify for this base payment. Rewards are paid on Mondays at around 07:00 UTC.

An Action Multiplier can increase the base return to 12.5% or 15% in eligible cash games, depending on the player’s qualifying level at the end of the week. Heads-up, All-In or Fold, Bomb Pot games and tournaments are excluded from this multiplier.

Membership includes six Power Ups per 30-day period, each lasting 12 hours. Unused boosts do not carry over, and an activated boost cannot be paused. A Power Up adds five percentage points to the original 10% base. Combined with the highest Action level, that produces a maximum 20% return during the active boost window.

At the standard 10% Base Reward, a $35 membership requires $350 in eligible fees over 30 days simply to recover its purchase price. That calculation excludes boosts, tournament discounts, other rewards and GipsyTeam’s exclusive promotion.

Bankroll Boosts

Bankroll Boosts are personalised offers for cash-game players at $0.50/$1 and above. They can include missions, tournament tickets and other rewards linked to downswings or negative variance. Eligibility and rewards vary by account; they are not a fixed return automatically paid to every player.

High Stakes Rewards

At the $50/$100 cash games and above, CoinPoker offers two distinct reward tracks:

• Action Rewards: for players who create action at the tables, CoinPoker splits the table profit — the poker site states that action players are rewarded 50% of the table profit from high-stakes games they participate in.
• Battle Rewards: for professionals or semi-pros, returning up to 90% of the value generated at the table.

Both of these rewards are paid weekly.

Extra rewards for GipsyTeam players

GipsyTeam-linked players can qualify for a separate Monthly Rake Chase: $100 for each complete $500 step of NET rake in a calendar month. NET is calculated after CoinPoker’s bonuses and rewards are deducted from rake paid. Payment is due by the fifth of the following month. For example, $1,000 in rake minus $300 in room rewards produces $700 NET. That reaches one complete $500 step and pays $100 under the promotion. 

GipsyTeam-linked accounts also enter the separate $2,000 Step Rake Races automatically. Players earn one point per dollar of rake, with fixed leaderboard prizes and additional draws among qualifying tiers. The promotion page lists the current period, prize structure and payout schedule.

Rake and Rakeback: The CoinRewards System

CoinPoker’s reward model combines CoinRaces, Splash Pots, personalised offers and the optional 3-Bet Club. The former 15% daily reward was replaced in July 2026, so there is no longer one free fixed daily percentage for all real-money players. Players no longer need to hold the CoinPoker CHP token to receive rewards. Standard cash games charge 5% rake, subject to caps. Under the October 2026 rules, pots that end preflop after a 3-bet can also be raked. A single open-raise followed by folds does not trigger that standard pot rake, although the separate Splash fee can still apply at eligible tables.

Tournament fees vary by event and are shown in the individual tournament lobby. All-In or Fold uses a separate flat fee per hand, measured in big blinds, rather than the standard cash-game percentage.

Standard cash-game caps

The following caps apply to regular NLHE and PLO-family tables at stakes up to $2/$5. Values in this table are in USDT.

At $5/$10 and above, Hold’em and Omaha use different caps. The next table is measured in big blinds rather than USDT.

For example, at $25/$50 with three or four players, the cap is $22.50 in NLHE and $40 in PLO. At five or more players, the respective caps are $37.50 and $62.50.

Heads-up caps

Dedicated heads-up tables use a 3BB cap when Battle Caps are inactive. Reduced caps apply when two eligible Battle Players face each other. CoinPoker determines eligibility from heads-up activity and displays the active status in Table Specifications.

These dedicated heads-up conditions are separate from the two-player column for regular cash tables. Rewards reduce individual costs only when the player actually receives them. At micro stakes, hourly CoinRaces and room-funded Infused Splashes do not guarantee zero net rake. Likewise, a promotion’s total prize budget is not a fixed personal rakeback rate, and the cost of paid membership needs to be included when assessing its value.

Deposits and Cashouts

CoinPoker remains a crypto-first platform, but players can also deposit with bank cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and supported e-wallets depending on their region. Deposited funds are converted into the room’s USDT balance where applicable. Deposit limits depend on the method. CoinPoker lists no operator-imposed minimum for its standard crypto routes, a $20 minimum for bank cards and Apple Pay/Google Pay, and a $10 minimum for Luxon Pay. The welcome bonus separately requires a first deposit of at least $10.

CoinPoker’s website lists USDT, USDC, Bitcoin and Luxon Pay as withdrawal methods. Bitcoin was unavailable in the cashier during our test. According to a CoinPoker representative, BTC withdrawals may require a prior Bitcoin deposit, and location may also affect availability. Contact support if the option is missing. Not every deposit currency is also supported for withdrawals.

Luxon Pay withdrawals require a previous deposit with that wallet. Processing times are estimates, and account or payment checks can delay a request. The cashier and withdrawal guide show the available routes and applicable fees. To deposit, open the cashier, choose your payment method and follow the on-screen instructions. For a crypto transfer, select the matching currency and network before sending funds. To withdraw, open the withdrawal section and select an available crypto route or Luxon Pay.

What features of CoinPoker should be highlighted?

CoinPoker identifies Precise Interactive Inc. as its operator and lists Anjouan licence ALSI-202412004-FI1. Its current RNG documentation describes a Fisher–Yates shuffle, with the deck order fixed before players act, and hand histories available for statistical analysis. The operator describes its RNG as certified, but the public page does not provide a certificate ID or downloadable test report. 

The client includes a built-in HUD, statistics such as VPIP and PFR, hand histories and replays, plus tools including Skill Score, PokerIntel and Showdown Meter. Players can customise the table background and felt, choose a two-colour or four-colour deck, and change avatars and chip styles.

CoinPoker’s third-party tools policy prohibits external HUDs, trackers and statistical overlays for play at its tables. Real-time advice is also prohibited. Solvers and training tools that provide strategic guidance must not be open or running while the CoinPoker client is open. Window-management software and manual hotkeys are permitted only within the policy’s limits; virtual machines, emulators and remote-desktop access are prohibited. A HUD open solely for use on another poker room is permitted.

The desktop lobby includes cash-game and tournament filters, the online counter, account controls and a language switcher. The Home area displays player statistics, achievements, rewards, promotional banners and upcoming events. Cashier functions, game history and PokerIntel are accessible from the account interface.

Several other features are worth highlighting:

• EV Cashout lets cash-game players settle an eligible all-in before the river for their equity share after rake and a cashout fee. CoinPoker lists a 3% fee at the published stakes from $0.50/$1 to $1,000/$2,000. The option reduces variance at a cost and is unavailable at compulsory Run It Twice tables.
• Chip Offload is available at All-In or Fold tables and lets players move chips above their original buy-in back to their balance without leaving the seat. Excess chips can be offloaded manually or automatically between hands, with no additional fee.
• Bubble Protection refunds the full buy-in, including fees, when a player busts in a protected bubble position in an eligible marked tournament. The first registration must be made before the scheduled start using cash or a ticket won through a satellite; later re-entries remain covered when made through eligible methods. Promotional tickets do not qualify, and satellite tournaments and freerolls themselves are excluded. The number of protected places scales with entries, from one place for fields of 10–99 to five places for fields of 3,000–5,000.
• Blind Rollback and Roll Forward adjust the final-table blind level when the average stack falls outside the 40–100BB range. If stacks are too shallow, the blind level rolls back; if they are too deep, it rolls forward. The adjustment applies only at final tables in tournaments with at least 100 entries.
