Playing Poker using Bitcoins @ SealsWithClubs

Hello guys,

Today i will present you a pokersite i fell in Love with:

Why is this site so special? Well, you can play online poker without any government or payment provider breathing down your neck. That means, that all players cann play there: Germans, Americans, Spanish players, Italians, and all the others that can't play due to government regulations.

What is Bitcoin, and why is it superior?

Simply, Bitcoin is internet money. It is a peer-to-peer decentralized crypto-currency.  There is no central issuer of bitcoins, instead a distributed algorithm runs the entire system.  Bitcoin is a giant world-wide network of computers working in unison. Bitcoin is both a payment processor and a currency. Volunteers called miners are paid to use computing power work to maintain a database of every bitcoin transaction known as the blockchain.  As of this writing on 4/23/2013 there are 11,071,750 bitcoins in existence at a current exchange rate of $145 per bitcoin. The blockchain.info stats page has many other Bitcoin metrics you may interested in, such as the current market capitalization or the total stored value in bitcoin, expressed in other currencies. (currently there is about $1.5B USD stored in the bitcoin system) In short, the internet has berthed a functioning government-less currency. More info on them --> 


How much do they charge in rake? 
New Lower Rake as of 4/9/13: No Limit and Pot Limit games rake 2.5% of the total pot size with a 0.01 BTC (10 chip) maximum. Limit games with a big blind less than 0.1 BTC have 2.5% rake and a 2BB cap. Limit games with a big blind of 0.1 BTC or more have 1% rake and a 0.007 BTC (7 chip) maximum. No rake is collected on hands that do not make it to the flop. The Table Starter and Krill rakeback system and our other promotions make the rake on SealsWithClubs extremely low vs. the industry standard.

VIP Program explained:

Krill Explanation


Find Krill every time you are dealt in to a raked hand. Each player dealt in to a raked hand will receive Krill based on the following calculation: √(rake) rounded up. The more Krill you collect, the higher Wave you achieve and thus higher rakeback % (see below). Krill is updated regularly. Krill is cumulative and never resets. Krill rakeback is paid weekly. Your rakeback is calculated at the highest wave achieved since the last krill rakeback payment. Prizes and other promotions may be removed from your MGR before calculating rakeback. The fixed krill prizes of 35, 50 and 100 chips are one time payments. The krill promotion is subject to change.
