Who is the Winning Poker Network? The Winning Poker Network is an offshore, Costa Rica based, Internet card room who shares games and operates with major A+ rated sportsbooks such as Bookmaker, BetCris, 5dimes, and SportBet (UPDATE: September 2014 both 5dimes and Sportbet also accept bitcoin deposits). The network owns four major pokersites: ACR Poker, Black Chip Poker, True Poker, and YaPoker [their Spanish poker site]. WPN offers a variety of games including no-limit Texas Holdem, pot-limit Omaha, Omaha high/low, all with decent traffic. They offer a 20k guaranteed high roller tournament every day and a 50k guaranteed tournament each Sunday, along with a variety of regular speed and turbo tournaments with smaller guarantees throughout the day. Single table tournaments, or sit-and-goes [SNG] run with regularity, as does heads up sit-n-goes [HUSNG].
So they offer bitcoin deposits now? YES! As of today, WPN is allowing its players located in the great country of Canada to deposit to any of their four poker rooms - ACR Poker, Black Chip Poker, True Poker, and YaPoker- using btc! The transactions are handled through, and guaranteed by, the very reputable bitcoin exchange: Cavirtex or Canadian Virutal Exchange
So how does that work exactly? Canadian players simply create an account at any of the Winning Poker Network card rooms, go to the cashier, choose deposit, choose bitcoin, and then follow the simple directions. Bitcoin deposits are credited very quickly and converted into USD, the currency that WPN uses for its onlinepoker games. Mere moments later any Canadian poker players will be able to enjoy playing for real money in all of the games WPN has to offer, without the risk of fluctuation of bitcoin prices. When that player is ready to cash out, they can cash out for real dollars!
Cash out for real dollars eh... How good is their real money poker cashier? It's excellent actually. We consistently rate the Winning Poker Network cashier as one of our top cashiers in our Monthly Poker Payout Reports - All rooms, ACR Poker, Black Chip Poker, True Poker, and YaPoker use the same network sponsored cashier. The cashier offers fast checks up to 3,000 each, cash in hand via Western Union or Money Gram in two days flat, ewallet payouts via EcoPayz and even a debit card where payments are made within 48 hours!
