Today we’re going to talk about those reasons. Chances are good you’re probably an American. You’re having difficulty finding an online poker site to play at. It’s no surprise to you that a lot of the sites no longer accept Americans. You can still play online poker. Nothing has changed. The only thing that has changed is how you pay for it.
What is Bitcoin? Bitcoin is a digital peer to peer currency. You’ve probably heard about it in the news. You will need to have your dollars exchanged into Bitcoins. This is easy to do. You can even use PayPal to buy Bitcoins. Do some searching online. You’ll find several services that will do this for you. You will then keep your Bitcoin in a wallet. The exchange service that you use will explain all of this to you. It’s not as complicated as it seems.
Once you have some Bitcoins you can gamble with them. You can even have them exchanged back into cash. You’ll just do the opposite of what you did to obtain your Bitcoins. You may need to do that if you win big. Which is the goal of every poker player out there. People can and do win big every day. You’ll see people playing for big and small stakes. There are plenty of players out there that are willing to play. The only thing that will determine who you play with is your bankroll. It’s exactly the same like if you were playing at a normal online poker room. Truly the only difference is that you’re using Bitcoins instead of dollars.
You’ll find the competition is exactly the same. There are still fish and there are experienced players. Nothing has changed one bit. There are cash games and tournaments. You can even play in sit and go tournaments. Everything is exactly the same. Just because you’re using digital currency don’t expect this to be like something from a science fiction movie. It’s the same game that you know and love.
Don’t worry if you’re an American. You’re not going to have any problems playing with Bitcoin. In fact, you’ll find a lot of Americans playing at these poker rooms. That’s because they face the same problems as you do. At first it may be a bit shocking how many Americans that you find playing. Don’t be shy. Jump right in and play the next hand that’s dealt to you. The great thing is you’ll be able to talk to them while at the poker table. You’ll speak the same language as they do.
A lot of Americans think they can’t play online poker. It’s just not the truth. You’ll be playing in no time flat. All you need to do is get some Bitcoins and join a poker room. It will only take you minutes before you’re playing the game you love. You’ll be wondering why you didn’t do this sooner.
