CoinPoker Review and Rakeback Deal

On the evidence of our test, CoinPoker is a legitimate crypto poker room. Our USDC withdrawal landed 30 minutes after we asked for it, and the two hour CoinRaces paid back 38% of the cash game rake Marton generated over 945 hands. The catches are no fixed rakeback without the $35 a month 3-Bet Club, an Anjouan licence, a ban on third party HUDs and uneven email only support.

We rate every room out of 5 on rake, rakeback, how often rewards arrive, traffic, game choice and trust. For this CoinPoker review, the rake caps and licence come from CoinPoker’s own pages and the traffic figure from SharkScope, while the rest was measured on Marton’s account.

Marton played on an account he opened through VIP-Grinders about two years ago, never verified, and topped up with fresh USDT for this test. The numbers in this review come from that account, from CoinPoker’s Coin Tracking page and from the PokerIntel stats built into the client.

Because the account is not new, treat our 30 minute cashout as proof that the withdrawal system works rather than a promise for your first payout. A fresh account may face checks that Marton never saw.

Before the deposit, the balance already held $16.68 from earlier play. Of that, $12.86 was an old bonus that was released once Marton had wagered its amount one time, and we left it out of the 38% because it was not paid for his rake.

Gaps in our test

Some checks need a brand new account or higher stakes than NL10. For those, we rely on what CoinPoker publishes and say so where it matters.

CoinPoker does not give new players a fixed rakeback percentage. Your ongoing rakeback comes from two places, the free CoinRaces and the paid 3-Bet Club.

CoinRaces are part of what CoinPoker calls CoinRewards, which it says shares over $7 million a month.¹ The 3-Bet Club is sold as a paid extra on top of CoinRewards and adds a fixed percentage.²

Four extras can add to this, but none pays a set amount every month. Splash Pots and Bankroll Boosts depend on luck, the welcome bonus stops after your first 30 days, and the $7,500 race in the CoinPoker rakeback deal through VIP-Grinders only pays the top 40.

CoinPoker’s bonus page says new players earn CoinRewards along with the bonus,³ and our race gives you points for the same rake. One session can count towards several of them at once.

CoinRewards land in a separate Rewards balance, which you move into your main balance with the Transfer button in the lobby. From there it can be withdrawn straight away, with no playthrough attached.

What $100 of rake a month gets you back

Say you pay $100 of cash game rake in a month, which at Marton’s mix of NL10 and K-Poker is about 3,700 hands.

That makes about $38 back every month, or about $48 in your first month with the bonus. The 3-Bet Club only adds to this once you rake more than $350 a month, while Splash Pots and our race are extra money when they land.

What CoinRaces paid us at NL10

Each race is a leaderboard where 1 Coin equals $1 of rake, and the prize pool is shared among the paid places in proportion to the Coins each player earned. Races close every two hours, or every hour at $0.01/$0.02 and $0.02/$0.05, with Hold’em and Omaha raced separately at every cash stake up to $25/$50.

Marton’s NL10 and K-Poker play raced in the Low tier. Over the test he collected $9.77 from these races against $25.71 of cash game rake, so CoinRaces returned 38.0%, with each payout arriving a few minutes after its race closed.

That one race returned 41% of the rake Marton put in, while his average across the test was 38%. Your rate in any race depends on how many Coins the whole field earns against the prize pool, so it drops when more regulars race at your stake.

“It is hard to follow the exact amount, but you are continuously notified about every cent.” Marton Kovalovszki, VIP-Grinders tester

Splash Pots and Bankroll Boosts

Splash Pots drop extra money into random hands, from 2 big blinds up to 1,000, with 40% for the winner of the hand and the rest shared among the others dealt in. From $0.05/$0.10 upwards, tables that run them take 0.1 big blinds from every pot to fund the drops, while at $0.01/$0.02 and $0.02/$0.05 the drops cost players nothing.

Bankroll Boosts are tournament tickets, missions and other rewards that CoinPoker hands out each week, at random, to cash players on a downswing. They only start at $0.50/$1, and Marton did not land a Splash Pot share in his 945 hands either.

Is the 3-Bet Club worth $35 a month?

The 3-Bet Club is CoinPoker’s paid route to fixed rakeback, at $35 for a month or $100 for three months.² Each plan runs for 30 or 90 days, shows its end date before you pay and does not renew on its own.

Members get 10% of their rake back every Monday, from cash games and tournaments at any stake. Six Power Ups a month raise that to 15% for 12 hours each, but the clock runs from the moment you switch one on, so a Power Up used on a one hour session wastes eleven hours.

For Hold’em and K-Poker, these are the 3-Bet Club Action Multiplier targets, measured over the week to Sunday night.

Omaha and Short Deck have their own targets. Heads up tables, Bomb Pots, All in or Fold and tournaments do not count towards them, so the multiplier mainly rewards players who already play loose and aggressive at regular cash tables.

At the 10% base, the $35 fee pays for itself once you rake $350 in a month, which at Marton’s rate of $2.72 per 100 hands means close to 13,000 hands. Power Ups bring that down to $233, but only if all your play fits inside six 12 hour windows.

How the VIPCOIN welcome bonus releases

New players can take a 150% bonus on their first deposit by choosing it from the bonus menu when they deposit at least $10.³ It is not paid in one go, and works more like extra rakeback for your first month.

Releasing the full $2,000 takes $20,000 in rake, which at Marton’s pace would be more than 700,000 hands. For most players the bonus simply adds 10% to whatever they rake in their first month.

The VIP-Grinders $7,500 CoinPoker race

Players who open their account through our CoinPoker bonus code VIPCOIN page also race for $7,500 every month. Every $1 of rake earns 2 points, from cash games and tournaments alike, and the top 40 on the leaderboard are paid.

To take part, validate your VIP-Grinders account and add your CoinPoker username to it, so we can match your rake to you. Prizes go straight into your CoinPoker account by the 15th of the following month.

CoinPoker takes 5% from each raked cash game pot, up to a cap that depends on the stakes and the number of players in the hand.⁴ Its rake page lists one set of caps for its regular Hold’em and Omaha tables, while K-Poker, Short Deck, heads up tables and All in or Fold each have their own.

These caps arrived with CoinPoker’s new client in March 2026, which lowered most two player caps and raised the full table caps at every stake from $0.02/$0.05 to $0.25/$0.50.⁵ At $0.05/$0.10, our test stake, the two player cap fell from $0.35 to $0.25 and the cap for five or more players rose from $0.70 to $1.

From $5/$10 the caps switch to big blinds, with the full table cap at 1 big blind at $5/$10, 0.4 at $25/$50 and 0.6 from $50/$100 upwards. Measured in big blinds, the full table cap is ten times higher at the micros than at $5/$10, which is why rake costs micro stakes players the most.

Is the CoinPoker rake cap $0.30 at $0.02/$0.05?

Only with three or four players in the hand. Our previous review gave a flat $0.30 for this stake, but CoinPoker now sets three caps for its regular tables and a separate one for heads up tables.

The 5% only reaches $0.50 once a pot passes $10, or 200 big blinds, so most pots at this stake pay the full percentage. The cap still bites far sooner than ACR’s $3, which equals 60 big blinds at the same stake.

Marton’s rake bill over 945 hands

The tables do not show how much rake each pot paid as you play, so we used the Coin Tracking page, where one Coin stands for $1 of cash game rake. Marton finished the test on 25.71 Coins, which is $25.71 over 945 hands, or about $2.72 per 100 hands.

Mixing in K-Poker raised that rate, since every K-Poker pot holds 9 big blinds before anyone acts and its full table cap at $0.10 is $1.50.

Rake on K-Poker, Short Deck, All in or Fold and tournaments

CoinPoker charges its other formats on separate schedules. K-Poker and the GOPC tournament fee are the two that Marton paid during the test.

Splash Pot tables from $0.05/$0.10 to $25/$50 also charge a 0.1 big blind fee per hand on top of the rake, and it is taken even when the hand ends before the flop. Add that fee to the 5% when you weigh CoinPoker against the poker rooms with the lowest rake, because rake cap tables do not include it.

Money moved quickly in both directions. Marton’s 50 USDT deposit on Ethereum showed in his balance about a minute after he sent it, and his 44.23 USDT cashout reached his wallet as USDC on Polygon 30 minutes after he requested it, with nothing deducted. The only real cost in the process is the network you choose, and it is worth checking on every withdrawal.

CoinPoker withdrawal fees depend on the network

The cashier shows the network fee before you confirm anything. For the same 44.23 USDT, sending USDT on Ethereum carried a flat 5 USDT fee, while USDC on Polygon was free and converted the balance one to one.

A flat fee hurts most on small cashouts, since 5 USDT is 11% of a 44.23 withdrawal but only 0.5% of $1,000. The cashier sends USDT withdrawals on Ethereum only, so switching to USDC is the way to avoid the fee.

Balances and tables run in USDT, which is pegged to the dollar, so a cashout in another coin is converted when you withdraw. A dollar left in USDT is still worth a dollar next week, which is the main reason players look for USDT poker sites.

Requesting a withdrawal, step by step

Marton cashed out from the Mac client in six steps. The lobby dashboard shows your withdrawable balance separately, so any bonus still being released is not counted in it.

The request went into review as soon as Marton entered the code, and the USDC landed 30 minutes later without any ID check. CoinPoker says crypto withdrawals are almost always instant or processed within minutes, with a limit of $25,000 per transaction.⁶

Deposit methods and limits

CoinPoker charges no fee on deposits by any method, and crypto has no minimum or maximum. Only crypto was tested, and the card and wallet limits come from CoinPoker’s deposits and withdrawals page.

Does CoinPoker require KYC?

Not to sign up, deposit or withdraw, at least in our test. Marton never uploaded a document, although the cashier offered him a bonus for completing full verification with ID and proof of address.

The terms still allow CoinPoker to check your identity, address, payment methods and source of funds at any time, including when you reach transaction thresholds.⁷ Until you pass, it can restrict withdrawals or hold your funds. The same terms add three cashout rules.

If you plan to cash out large sums, have your documents ready before you do.

CoinPoker’s poker lobby runs along a row of tabs, from regular cash games and the VIP Arena to K-Poker, All in or Fold, Bomb Pot, Tournaments and the GOPC. Cash games cover No Limit Hold’em, Pot Limit Omaha with four, five or six cards and Short Deck, from $0.01/$0.02 up to $5,000/$10,000, with heads up only tables even at the lowest stakes. Casino, live casino and a sportsbook share the same client and balance, but this review covers the poker side only.

How K-Poker plays

K-Poker is CoinPoker’s newest Hold’em format and the one Marton recommends if you want action. It is built for speed, and he found the tables far looser than regular NL10.

“It’s noticeably looser than the regular NLHE tables, but the bet buttons fire instantly and sit in a different spot than on normal tables, so you have to slow down.” Marton Kovalovszki, VIP-Grinders tester

With 9 big blinds of dead money in every K-Poker pot, hands you would fold at a regular table become worth playing.

Omaha, Short Deck and Bomb Pots

In the mid stakes lobby during the test, PLO5 at $1/$2 had the most players of any Omaha game, with four and six card versions running beside it.

Short Deck has its own filter in the cash lobby, while Bomb Pot and All in or Fold tables sit under separate tabs. CoinPoker tops our ranking of the best Omaha poker sites, and live PLO6 tables at $1/$2 are something few rooms offer.

Four table features Marton used

Tournaments and the GOPC

The Tournaments tab filters by satellites, daily features and GOPC events. On Sunday 27 Sep, during the Global Online Poker Championship, it ran everything from $3.30 turbos to a $1,050 event guaranteeing $300,000, and the GOPC Euro Championship ran at $15, $109 and $1,050.

Marton played one $15 GOPC tournament, which cost $1.20 in fees. He rated the schedule as one of CoinPoker’s strengths, with plenty of big buy in events that are easy to find.

CoinPoker averaged 1,935 cash game players between 15 August and 13 September 2026, third of all networks behind GGPoker and PokerStars.⁸ SharkScope counts seats rather than people, so that is the average number of real money cash seats filled at any moment across a day.

In the 30 days to 13 September, which covered the first three weeks of the GOPC, cash seats slipped 4.0% on the previous month and tournament entries rose 16.6%. Our monthly online poker traffic report suggests some cash players moved into the series rather than leaving, and the October data will show whether they came back.

SharkScope only began tracking CoinPoker’s cash games in spring 2026, so there are only about six months of data to judge the trend by.

What the lobby showed on a Thursday afternoon

Marton checked the cash lobby on Thursday 24 Sep, during the 14:00 to 16:00 CoinRace. The client counter showed 9,943 people online, but that covers everyone logged in. The stake by stake player counts tell you more.

The micro stakes were busiest that afternoon, with 303 players at $0.02/$0.05 and 264 at $0.01/$0.02. NL10 was quieter than you might expect, with 158 seated against 211 at $0.10/$0.25 and 199 at $0.25/$0.50.

Who you meet at the tables

Marton’s NL10 tables had a mixed field, with some tight regulars and slower games on the standard tables. Marton saw no obvious sign of bots, seating scripts or players following him from table to table.

For a cash player at the micro stakes, that adds up to a game at almost any hour. Table selection takes more work than on rooms that show pot sizes in the lobby.

CoinPoker does not let you run a HUD or tracker of your own, which puts it with the HUD free poker sites. What it does instead is build one into the client, called PokerIntel, and give every player the same stats.

What the PokerIntel HUD shows

The quick view on a player shows VPIP, PFR, three bet and continuation bet, plus whether they are on PC or mobile. The full profile has ten stats over a period you choose, a 250 character note field and seven colour labels.

The ten are VPIP, PFR, three bet, fold to three bet, continuation bet, fold to continuation bet, steal, check raise, went to showdown and won at showdown. It ran from the first hand with nothing to switch on, and Marton rated it the best built in HUD he has used.

Your own numbers live in a separate PokerIntel window.

Can you use PokerTracker or Holdem Manager?

Not while you play on CoinPoker. Its terms list HUDs, tracking software, solvers and real time assistance as prohibited software, and say a tool can count as prohibited even when it is not actively used.⁷

The client does let you download your own hand histories, and after the test Marton imported his into PokerTracker 4 to cross check the rake figures. The terms also bar using anything a tracker produces in connection with CoinPoker play, so read the Third Party Tools and Software Policy before you do the same.

PokerTracker picked up only 533 of the 945 hands and showed $13.26 of rake, which is why every rake figure in this review comes from CoinPoker’s own Coin Tracking. Virtual machines, emulators and remote desktops are banned too unless CoinPoker agrees in writing, which matters less because it has its own Mac client.

How the desktop client handles a session

Marton played on the Mac client, which updated from 1.26.0 to 1.27.0 during the test, mostly on two to four tables at once.

His main gripe with the client is the reduced animations mode, which you cannot switch off with one click and have to undo in the game settings. The client itself has no hotkeys, although the terms name hotkey and table management tools among those CoinPoker can permit.

For Mac players, a stable native client means no virtual machine, and CoinPoker is the first room on our list of the best Mac poker sites.

Marton played one session on his phone, and the CoinPoker app felt like a smaller copy of the desktop client rather than a cut down one. It ran smoothly even on older hardware, and four things stood out.

How to get the app

CoinPoker offers clients for Windows, macOS, Android and iOS on its download page. On an iPhone or iPad you can also skip the install and play in Safari or Chrome after logging in.⁹

Android players download the app from CoinPoker’s own site rather than Google Play. Five tables and a working HUD on a phone make it one of the stronger mobile poker apps for crypto players, although our verdict rests on a single session.

Beyond CoinRewards and the 3-Bet Club, most of CoinPoker’s promotions are tournaments.¹⁰ Two regular events carry the weekly schedule, and four big online series filled the 2026 calendar.

Daily Dollar satellites start at $0.10, and the CoinMillion has satellites of its own. On the GOPC Sunday Marton checked, a $25 satellite was handing out 30 seats to it.

CoinPoker tournament series in 2026

The four series this year ran from nine days to five weeks, each with its own satellites.

The One is the newest, a single $250 tournament with 26 Day 1 flights feeding one Day 2 on 12 October. The World Poker Masters 2026 schedule shows the range a full series covers, from $0.10 satellites to a $530 Main Event guaranteeing $2.5 million and a $25,500 Super High Roller.

Rewards for regulars and high stakes players

CoinPoker runs three of them outside the tournament schedule.

Players who sign up through VIP-Grinders also race for an extra $7,500 every month, on top of everything CoinPoker runs itself.

CoinPoker is run by Precise Interactive Inc., a company incorporated in Panama, under a remote gambling licence from the Anjouan Gaming licensing authority in the Union of Comoros.⁷ The licence number is ALSI-202412004-FI1, and the Anjouan Gaming badge sits in the client footer.

Anjouan is a lighter regime than Malta or the UK, so your protection rests more on CoinPoker’s own policies than on the regulator. Unlike an unlicensed site, though, it publishes full terms, a game integrity policy and responsible gaming tools, and the rest of this section checks what they actually give you.

Is CoinPoker available in the US?

CoinPoker’s terms list the United States, its dependencies, military bases and territories as a Restricted Territory in clause 3.1(m). Clause 1.3 says users located in or accessing the platform from a Restricted Territory are not permitted to register, access or use it. The table below groups the full clause 3.1(m) list by region.

Our US friendly poker sites page lists the rooms that accept American players.

Responsible gaming tools

Marton found no way to set a deposit limit, and support confirmed that players cannot set one. Between the responsible gaming page and support, these are the options you do have.¹¹

There is no self service deposit, loss or session limit, and the responsible gaming page links to no outside help organisations. That is the clearest gap in CoinPoker’s player protection.

Game security and the RNG

CoinPoker says its Game Integrity team of analysts, engineers and former professionals flags bots by their decision timing, has zero tolerance for real time assistance and checks hand patterns for collusion.¹² Money confiscated from cheaters is redistributed to the honest players they affected.

Each hand is dealt from a fresh deck shuffled with the Fisher Yates algorithm, and no staff member can see hole cards during play.¹³ The client footer carries a Gaming Labs Certified mark, but the RNG page names no testing lab, links no certificate and makes no provably fair claim.

CoinPoker’s contact page offers an email address and a Help section, with no live chat or phone line.¹⁴ Its Discord and Telegram groups are community channels rather than support, so Marton sent two emails during the test, one simple question and one that needed account data.

“I had a really good experience with a fast and correct answer, after that I had to wait 2 days for a real person to reply to a simple question.” Marton Kovalovszki, VIP-Grinders tester

What the slow answer still got right

The two day reply did not give a number, but it pointed to Coins Enquiry under My Profile and Wallet, the same Coin Tracking screen where your Coins for a date range equal your rake. It keeps three months of data, and it is the source of the rake numbers we use throughout.

A third agent sent the exact total, $26.91, five days after the ticket was opened. It matched Coin Tracking to the cent once the $1.20 of tournament fees was added.

Getting a quicker answer

For a room of this size, email only support with no live chat is a weak spot. When a question reached the right person, though, the answers were correct.

The cons weigh most on grinders who rely on a tracker or want a fixed rakeback percentage.

We compared CoinPoker with four rooms we have reviewed, using cash traffic from the same SharkScope report.⁸ Rakeback figures for the other rooms come from our reviews of each.

GGPoker is the room to beat on traffic, with almost five times CoinPoker’s cash seats and a fixed rakeback rate that rises with your yearly volume. WPT Global sits just behind CoinPoker on cash seats, and both of them ban third party HUDs as well, so the real differences are the reward model and K-Poker, which only CoinPoker runs.

ACR is the only room here that accepts US players and allows trackers, and it paid us exactly 27% fixed rakeback on request. Nexa Poker shares WPT Global’s player pool, so its tables draw on the same cash traffic.

Whenever we retest CoinPoker or check its terms again, the date and the effect on the review go into this log. Sources are numbered in the order the text cites them, and the final entry covers Marton’s own test records.
