Whoa, coinbase is joing the USA federales in trying to oppress gambling? What's up with that?
Their site, their ToS, their rules. While this news is sad to me, it's not something to complain about IMO. there exist many other ways to buy and sell btc for fiat, and while they were becoming popular, Coinbase or any one method of exchange restricting gambling should not rustle the feathers too badly. While I can't help but ponder what Coinbase considers "gambling" or how easy it would be to mask what you are doing with your bitcoin, I would not try to deceive them & their ToS, as it seems that would put funds at risk. An every-changing landscape no doubt, Bitcoin ATMs & Mycellium local feature are likely the big winner in this. I wouldn't doubt that Coinbase just put that rule in place so they could lock people's accounts to gain more Bitcoin. It probably has more to do with making money than it has to do with actually gambling with Bitcoins. Coinbase has always said they try to comply with regulations. When I logged on a month ago to cashout Seals chips that I had previously sent, I had to fill out some additional personal info. I don't recall exactly what but I believe it was my address. I have no idea what they wanted when I opened my account last year. There is a federal law on the books prohibiting financial institutions from sending money to unregulated gambling sites. It says nothing about receiving money from gambling sites but banks will hassle you about that sometimes. Also the law doesn't state what it considers gambling and leaves it up to the financial institution to determine. This results in them being overly cautious as they don't know where the line is. You should make the blinds higher in tournaments. It's really hard to get a decent sized pot going the first 15-30 minutes because the blinds are like 166th of your stack.
166th? Are you sure? 1500 starting stack and blinds start at 10-20. So the blinds = 30 = 50th of your stack to start. If you are talking only bb then after 10 minutes the bb =30 so then it's a 50th of your stack. But you did say blind s so after 10 min = a 33rd of your stack. That is for normal trny and deep stack you double it and still not 166th stack. In the higher dollar buy-ins like the 100 chip and 50 chip buy-in they start out at 166th of your stack. I feel like I'm just wasting my time the first part of the tournament because you can't bet without someone knowing you have a good hand. Very unusual to have someone want bigger blinds vs lower blinds! I agree play a turbo. The slower the structure the more skill vs luck there is, in general.  I don't think it has anything to do with skill vs. luck I've just noticed that in the first little bit of the tournament people's stacks are still almost the same, unless you get someone who doubles there stack from someone going all in. I'd rather have the blinds start out at 1/50 of your stack, when you play a lot of the tournaments every day it sucks having to sit through the first little bit of the tournament where almost nothing happens. You could do what the idiot Hellmuth does and show up late  |

I don't think they are seizing funds, just refusing to do business with the person, and if I'm not mistaken asking them to withdraw their bitcoin. IMO not a money-grab by Coinbase, simply their directors following the advice of their lawyers. |

very cool, the thing with coinbase reminds me when partypoker pulled out of us.
this is the beginning of bitcoin gambling being treated as a red headed step child.

Someone really needs to fix the DC'ing problem. I've lost a lot of chips from getting DC'ed and I'm always hearing people complain about it.
What is DC'ed? Disconnected? Something else? |

What is DC'ed? Disconnected? Something else? Yes, getting disconnected in the middle of a hand. Happens way too much on this site versus just about any others. |

I used to get disconnected all the time but it hasn't happened once since I changed from XP to 8.1 four months ago.

1) I get disconnected sometimes on my PC w/ethernet to a nice & fast, USA metropolitan area internet. ST6 is working hard on this issue. This is a big part of server-side improvements that are ongoing. 2) 20 Chip 1k GTD! that has been growing in popularity pops off in ~9 minutes 3) The BIG BTC, largest bitcoin poker tournament each week with 10 bitcoins guaranteed pops off in ~2h9m 4) Anyone wishing to join the affiliate program hit me up [email protected]GLGLGLGLGL to my online poker players filling their battle stations with MTT screens today! |

I may be slow but I just noticed that the multiple empty table that were cluttering up the lobby and were going to be removed soon quite a while ago are now gone. Hoping they stay away |

You should change the software. No matter how much you call it not rigged.. It is rigged. The variance is simply too much. and people river everything, after going all in on the turn or the flop. |

No.
Seals is bitcoin only.
I have seen similar questions about alternative coins before and Micon literally said "never".

So far whenever someone has come up to me and said "Why doesn't SwC accept X alt coin?" the answer has always been "Because we already have bitcoin" No crypto is more popular than bitcoin. All others are essentially copies of the bitcoin idea. We go with the original, the largest supported from a network and a human perspective. There is simply no reason to accept anything but btc at this stage. The other part of this equation is that there exists many alt-exchanges, so anyone holding an alt that wants to play the largest crypto-currency poker site can convert with relative ease. |

You could just create new tables that you can only play with Litecoin. That's the only other ALT coin I know of that has value. |
