BITCOIN Review – Bovada

 Bovada

Why We Prefer Bovada Over Others

While there’s still a lot of competition in the US online gambling market, the amount of high-quality operations is surprisingly low. For example, the luxury of being able to cashout your winnings is, as scary as it sounds, unavailable at many sites, and there’s only a short list of reliable sites. We rank Bovada as the #1 option for US residents, and here’s why:

  • They deliver the fastest check cashouts in the US. Well, faster than any other US gambling site excluding the sites in states with legalized online gambling.
  • They take care of customers. With both phone and e-mail support, this site delivers great experiences by putting a lot of effort into their customer support.
  • They have great software. We consider their gaming software the finest in the US for both casino and poker games. Their instant-play versions and mobile games are especially good.
  • They have a long history in the online gambling business. There are people behind Bovada’s operations that used to operate Bodog – a site that’s been in the business since early 2000. Some of the people have been in the business 15+ years.

Customer Service

Bovada’s customer service has always treated me well. You can contact them via phone support (1-888-263-0000) or e-mail support — I’ve never tried contacting via phone number, but if the quality of their e-mail support is anything to go by (fast replies and thorough answers), you’ll have a nice experience with their phone support as well.

Some people accuse Bovada of “not listening to its players.” In most cases, these are the players who complain about anonymous tables, not being able to join waiting lists, etc. All of those decisions were made with recreational players in mind, and since the site is now more enticing to recreational players, educated players should love the current situation even more instead of complaining (there’s a higher percentage of recreational gamblers to play against).

Bovada’s customer service is also perhaps the most active out of any online poker room in the world at participating in discussions at online poker forums (many of the top internet poker forums now have “Bovada Service” users who are there to answer any questions about the site). As incredible as it sounds, customers are sometimes getting answers to questions without even directly contacting them.

Deposit Options

Depositing money to Bovada

Bovada offers two deposit methods:

  • VISA Credit / Debit / Gift Cards.
  • Moneygram (called “Rapid Transfer” at Bovada)

A card deposit is the easiest and fastest of Bovada deposit options. You need a Visa credit, debit/check or gift card that’s eligible for online and international purchases.

It’s worth noting that even if your card fulfills the criteria, the transaction is never certain to go through, which unfortunately is typical for gambling-related transactions in the USA. Netspend debit cards have had a high success rate lately, and the cards that you should stay away from are Greendot and Vanilla VISA cards.

There’s one negative with Bovada deposits: they charge a 4.9% fee for card deposits except for the first deposit. Betonline is the only other US poker site that charges for such transactions (6%). Take this into account when depositing to Bovada especially if you’re going for the minimum deposit, since even though they claim a minimum deposit limit of $20, in reality you have to deposit the minimum of $20+4.9%.

Minimum Card Deposit: $20
Maximum Card Deposit: $500

Rapid Transfer (the equivalent of Moneygram) is a handy way to deposit and withdraw money to and from Bovada.lv. It takes 15 minutes for a deposit and 24 hours for a withdrawal to arrive. By depositing $300 or more at a time and withdrawing max. once a month, Bovada takes care of all the transaction fees. (Otherwise deposit fees are $12-$20 and withdrawal fees $20-$60.)

Minimum Rapid Transfer Deposit: $10
Maximum Rapid Transfer Deposit: $800

Pros & Cons

Credit / Debit / Gift Cards:

  • Fast, convenient and easy-to-use.
  • No need to visit any live locations to send the money.
  • A low minimum deposit limit ($20).
  • Sometimes fail to work for gaming transactions.
  • A 4.9% deposit fee (most credit card poker sites take no fees).
  • Must cashout via a check (takes a couple of weeks).

Rapid Transfer:

  • Fast and reliable.
  • Rapid Transfer cashouts are processed faster than checks.
  • You need to visit a live location to send the money.
  • A relatively high deposit fee ($12-$20).
  • A high minimum deposit ($100).

Cashout Options

Bovada.lv offers two withdrawal methods:

  1. Checks
  2. Rapid Transfer (the equivalent to Moneygram)

Your available withdrawal option depends on the way you deposited money to Bovada; if you made a credit card deposit, you can withdraw the money as a check (Bovada has the fastest check payouts out of all US poker sites); if you made a Rapid Transfer deposit, you can withdraw the money by using Rapid Transfer.

To be eligible for a withdrawal after having made a credit card deposit, you must complete the credit card verification form on Bovada’s website.

How to cashout from Bovada:

  1. Select the payout method.
  2. Enter the amount you want to cashout.
  3. Confirm your address information.
  4. Click ‘Request Payout’.

What are the withdrawal limits?

  • For check withdrawals: $20-$3,000.
  • For Rapid Transfer withdrawals: $100-$750.

Are there any cashout fees?
The first check withdrawal of each month is free. If you want to cashout more than once a month, the rest of the cashouts cost $50 each. (In case you make a deposit and then, without using the money, decide to withdraw it, Bovada may charge a fee).

Here are their Rapid Transfer cashout fees:

Cashout Amount Fee
$100 – $199 $20
$200 – $399 $30
$400 – $599 $45
$600 – $750 $60

Payout Speed

Bovada.lv has the fastest cashouts for US players as of now (unless you live in Delaware, Nevada and New Jersey where you can order ACH cashouts at regulated online poker rooms). Bovada delivers checks in 1-2 weeks (recent reports indicate that they deliver these in 10 days) when many of their competitors take several weeks and some even months.

Rapid Transfer payouts take a maximum of 24 business hours, after which you can collect your withdrawal at a local Moneygram location.

It’s been increasingly hard to find US poker sites that process cashouts fast. Some sites claim to deliver checks in a couple of weeks but take months (even half a year in the case of relatively popular Lock Poker). Bovada is the biggest US poker site but incredibly also has the fastest withdrawal processing times.

Throughout Bodog’s 15+ years in the online gambling business, no payout issue or dispute has been left unresolved. The only two Bovada payout issues that I recall were in 2008 and 2011 when checks took a long time to process (longer than usual, that is – they still delivered checks faster than most gambling sites do normally). But those were small issues and it’s remarkable how well they’ve done for such a long time.

2008 Payout Delays

Bodog’s payouts were delayed in 2008 and for a good reason: Maryland DOJ and IRS seized $25 million of Bodog’s money as the dollars were sitting on their payment processor’s account. An undercover agent registered an account at Bodog and made two cashouts during the year of 2007, which helped the IRS to seize the money. (Citypaper published a great article on the subject called The Ghost Hand.)

2011 Payout Delays

We have no real information on what caused Bovada payouts to be delayed in 2011. They claimed to be in the process of changing payment processors in order to deliver checks faster in future which then slowed down current check processing. I don’t know if this was the real reason but they surely figured out how to deliver checks fast afterwards.

Bonus Offers & Promotions

  • You’ll qualify for the Bovada bonus automatically by signing-up at Bovada without using a Bovada bonus code.
  • Bovada’s bonus offer is decent for beginners. You get 60 days to clear the bonus (after you’ve made your first deposit), you can clear the bonus at any stakes you want and the terms are straightforward.
  • Bovada caters to recreational players which forces Bovada to make welcome bonuses simple and relatively easy to clear.

First Deposit Bonus

Big poker bonuses are useless unless they can be reasonably cleared. Some bonuses are impossible to clear for beginners; for example, they might take ridiculous amounts of playing to clear in relatively little time or they can only be cleared above micro stakes.

Fortunately, the poker bonus offer is good for beginners. You get 60 days to clear the bonus (after you’ve made your first deposit), you can clear the bonus at any stakes you want and the terms are straightforward. They cater to recreational players which forces them to make their welcome bonuses simple and relatively easy to clear.

How Do I Clear the Bonus?
You clear the poker bonus by reaching new bonus levels; you reach new bonus levels by earning poker points; you earn poker points by generating rake for Bovada.

The more bonus you earn, the easier it gets to clear additional bonus. For example, level three is $100 for 750 poker points while level five is $150 for 1,500 poker points. (Going from level four to level five was 25% easier than going from level one to level two, for instance.)

Here are the charts:

Bovada Poker rake (per pot) to poker points.
Rake generated Points earned
$1.00 – $3.00 1.00
$0.50 – $0.99 0.50
$0.25 – $0.49 0.25
$0.05 – $0.24 0.10
$0.01 – $0.04 0.05
$1 in tournament fees 3.00

 

 

“Poker points earned” translated to “bonus released”.
Points earned Bonus released
50 $10
250 $40
750 $100
1500 $150
3000 $300
5000 $400

 

Will Additional Deposits Qualify for the Bonus?
Only the money deposited on the same calendar day as your first deposit will qualify for the Bovada Poker deposit bonus. If you deposit $100 next Tuesday and later on that Tuesday deposit another $100, you’ll be eligible for $200 in bonuses.

Should you deposit the additional $100 on Wednesday, however, you’ve already missed the boat and won’t qualify for the bonus.

Do I Need a Bovada Bonus Code?
There is no Bovada bonus code at the moment; you can qualify for the bonus simply by signing-up at their website.

Reload Bonuses
They award reload bonuses only to certain players – whether these players are selected randomly or have to meet certain criteria is unknown. There are no poker reload bonuses available for everyone.

Other Poker Bonuses
In addition to the poker deposit bonus, Bovada players are eligible for a Bad Beat Bonus(win 100 x the big blind, up to $1,000) and a Royal Flush Bonus (win 50 x the big blind, up to $200).

Other Bonuses

You get a 100% welcome bonus (up to $3,000) for your first Bovada Casino deposit and a 50% free bet bonus up to $250 for their sportsbook. How long does it take to clear the bonuses?

Their casino bonus requires you to wager the deposit and bonus amount 25 times over until you can cashout. For a $100 deposit, therefore, you need to wager 25 times $200 (includes both deposit and bonus amounts), or $5000.

Their sportsbook bonus can be cleared by wagering 3 times the deposit plus the bonus amount. For the full bonus, you have to bet $500 and you’ll get $250 in bonus money, which means that in total you need to wager 3 times $750 (or $2250) to clear the full bonus.

You have 60 days to clear the bonus offers.

BITCOIN Review – Rollin.io

At first glance, Rollin.io doesn’t appear to be just another dice site because it does have a feature of its own worth paying attention to: the completed roll is displayed in a LED graphic, with a different color depending if you win or not. Keep reading this review to see what this site has more to offer.

It seems that Rollin drew some inspiration from the pletoria of dice sites and added a twist of its own. The site has a competitive house edge, instant provably fair dice rolls, and everything else you would expect from an “off-chain” bitcoin dice game.

  • REGISTRATION

While various crypto-related gambling websites often require users to create an account before allowing them to play, Rollin.io does not require any registration, and users are given a secret url to access their account balance.

  • TRANSACTIONS

Deposits will need 1 confirmation before bitcoin are credited to your account – it only takes a few seconds. Withdrawals are processed fast as well. Do keep in mind that you will need 5 confirmations on your preliminary Bitcoin deposit before you can withdraw your balance again. The explanation for this is because all Rollin.io withdrawals are coming from the hot wallet, and the site owners want to prevent unsufficient funds on it.
There is a small 0.2 mBTC withrawal fee.

  • PROVABLY FAIR SYSTEM

The provably fair system allows every player to verify the gameplay data of each played dice roll. This label we encounter on almost all bitcoin casino sites these days is a guarantee of fairness and non-manipulation.

  • GAMEPLAY

You play by entering the amount of BTC you want to bet, and then selecting the prediction number – that gives you the chance to win. The profit will automatically adjust accordingly. Once you’re ready to roll the dice, click “roll hi” or “roll lo” depending on what you think the resulting number will be. The betting interface allows users to roll the dice in 2 different ways: manually by clicking with the mouse or by using keyboard shortcuts, automatically by using the autobot.

Rollin.io has a gradual house edge, which varies from 0.8% up to 1%, based on the total Bitcoin you wagered. It’s more beneficial for the player comparing to the 1% fixed house edge found in most dice sites.

  • FAUCET

There is a free bitcoins button, which will lets you claim free satoshis, when your balance reaches zero.

  • SUPPORT

Rollin.io offers you support via email in case you encounter an issue. The average response time is very fast. There is also a chatter box where you can share tips and informations with other players and possibly ask for help.

  • VERDICT

If you are searching for a new kind of Bitcoin dice game, look no further. Rollin.io offers a unique interface along with an attractive house edge. The staff behind Rollin is very professional and customer-oriented.

BITCOIN Review – Safedice

SafeDice – Slim House Edges Mean Fatter Earnings

SafeDice is one of the latest Bitcoin dice sites to hit the web. Focusing on giving players a better edge than any other Bitcoin dice site at 0.5% with nearly all the goodies found on the competition, the designers have successfully created a leading platform for all your dice needs. A slick and simple interface with a provably fair system increases the pleasure of using the site and gives it a more polished feel. Using the variable house edge which is solely found on SafeDice and their own in-house creation players can bet higher than other Bitcoin dice sites while the site still retains a competitive edge.

The Variable House Edge

Before we dive into the deep depths of SafeDice it is crucial that we discuss what is known as the variable house edge. The developers have implemented this invention which has been engineered to provide an incredibly low house edge for players while also giving a larger maximum win when choosing to bet higher. If any player chooses to bet an amount that would payout more than 0.25% of the house bankroll, the variable house edge is triggered. While standard bets give the house a 0.5% edge, the variable house edge increases this to 1%.

The purpose of the variable house edge is to let players bet higher than other Bitcoin dice sites but with a catch. When activating this feature the house edge increases to 1% which is the standard house edge found on virtually every other dice site. So while SafeDice will let you bet more than any other dice site you lose the standard house edge of 0.5% and have it increase to 1% to increase the odds of the platform staying in business.

Investing

You can’t find a Bitcoin dice site without finding investment opportunities. Naturally you can invest in the house bankroll on SafeDice as well. The variable house edge is actually designed to be an investor paradise because it increases the safety of all investments by increasing the house edge in instances where players want to win more than 0.25% of the house bankroll. By using this system the platform has found middle ground that makes both the players and the investors happy. Investors may also use an adjustable risk level to reduce counterparty risk with the site.

SafeDice takes 10% of the profits from investors to keep the site running. Servers, storage, referrals and labor aren’t free and a 10% commission is a relatively fair cost.

Registration, Deposits and Withdrawals

Registration consists of typing in a username; no email or information required. You may add a password and even a secret link to ensure that only you are able to access your account. There is also an emergency address that you can send your balance to in the case of an emergency but no personal information such as email are taken making SafeDice a highly anonymous site to play on. Deposits and withdrawals are both instant and you only need 1 confirmation before you can begin using your funds.

The Interface

The color scheme is well done and is easy on the eyes while site navigation is efficient enough to make a German proud. SafeDice comes in three languages: English, Chinese and Russian and you can change between languages at any time with the click of the mouse. Account information can easily be accessed by clicking your username in the top right and site statistics are always transparent and displayed at the top of your monitor.

Betting is straight forward and the interface gives you all the options you would find on any other Bitcoin dice environment. You can bet on whether or not the dice will roll High or Low and of course you can string a maximum of 1,000 bets at any point in time to auto roll for you. Players can also manipulate the win percentage to increase the payout but recall that if you place a bet that will pay out rather high the variable house edge will automatically activate and thus reduce your edge to 1% instead of the standard 0.5%. Players may also set up hotkeys for their betting for ease of use you can easily keep track of your own bets, high bets and all bets placed on the site directly on the betting page.

Bots

There is currently only one betting bot for SafeDice which is the third-party “SeuntjieBot” created by a current in-good standing member of the dice community. Personal bots are currently unsupported meaning that this is the only bot that is permitted on the site.

Faucets and other Goodies

Unlike most other dice sites there is no faucet present on SafeDice. To compensate for this they have implemented a chatbot which rewards regular players who participate in the trollbox with some additional funds. They also claim that nice users tend to get tipped regularly but we could not verify this claim. The trollbox in question is their chat box which they have renamed to obviously reflect the average personality of people who use the internet. They are currently working on support for Monero so be sure to keep an eye on that if you are currently mining this new crypto currency.

The Final Verdict

The provably fair platform SafeDice has engineered is rounded and polished to give the Bitcoin dice community exactly what they need. A lower house edge and stronger investment opportunities than other dice sites is successfully attracting both players and investors alike. A sleek interface, betting options that we all expect and complete anonymity make SafeDice a paradise for all things dice. While it may not have some of the features like faucets and achievements that other sites have the house edge alone makes this site worth checking out at the very least.

BITCOIN Review – Crypto-games

Crypto-Games houses a dice, slot and software blackjack platform with competitive odds, support for a strong range of crypto currencies and even jackpots for dice players. The option to invest in the house bankroll is available for the currency of your choice and the entire operation is founded on provably fair algorithms and displays bets on a public ledger for all players to witness. While the interface is not as flashy as other sites, it is fully functional and has a built in chat system to talk with other players.

Dice gaming provides a full array of betting options to modify your bet amounts if playing on auto If you are making your first foray into the world of crypto currency gambling, Crypto-Games is a wonderful place to start.

The Interface

Our biggest gripe is that the color scheme is very bland using grey and black. This isn’t exactly the most attractive site on the internet for dice, slots and blackjack but it does get the job done. Navigation of the site is straight forward and there’s even a chat box to talk to other players. Just remember to tone down the language as you can be banned for profanity and other unnecessary things.

There is an option to view your personal statistics as well as global statistics which is a great feature not found on other dice sites. You can also view statistics on the top players including most wagered, most bids, most tips, most chat messages and so on.

Provably Fair and House Edge

Like all legitimate dice sites, Crypto-Games displays its seeds publically for the world to see. By entering the server and client seeds into a generator and converting the first few digits into decimal, you can prove the fairness which gives members the peace of mind they need to verify fairness on both sides of the fence. Since the site has dice, slots and blackjack, you can actually verify the fairness for all three games. Being able to do this is the industry standard and Crypto-Games has ensured they are providing a solid environment for Bitcoin and other crypto currency gaming.

The house edge for each game varies. It is important to note that the house edge is stacked on top of the odds of winning for the slots game, which gives players a 49.7% chance to win on each spin. We have compiled a list for each house edge as follows:

  • Dice: 0.8%
  • Slots: 1.97%*
  • Blackjack: 1.253%
  • Lottery: 1.5%

As you can see, the house edge is very fair for players, more so than real casinos in relation to slots and blackjack. Since these house edges are quite fair in favor of the player, Crypto-Games is a great place to gamble your crypto currencies on based on this premise alone.

Dice Auto Bets

All traditional dice sites let player set up automatic bets for their dice. Players can adjust many factors when betting on auto mode. You can adjust your payout from the standard 2x up to 9,920x but this comes at the price of sacrificing your probability of winning.

Faucet

Crypto-Games provides a faucet for players once every 3 minutes from a single IP address. You can request 0.00001 BTC to play with. You can actually increase your faucet bonus depending on how many messages you’ve left in chat, how many players you’ve referred to the site, loyalty (calculated in days), invested BTC and wagered funds. Each level you obtain increases the amount you receive for each faucet request as well as how many times a day you can request funds from the faucet. This is very competitive in comparison to other top tier dice sites and keeps players on the site for longer.

  • The Jackpot

Interestingly enough there is a jackpot to be won if your roll is 7.777 or 77,777, your roll is a winning roll and if the last two digits of your dice bet ID are 77. You can only win 100% of the jackpot of your bet amount is 0.005 BTC or more. You will lose a chunk of the jackpot in proportion to far below 0.005 BTC you bet. So if you bet 0.0025 BTC, you would get 50% of the jackpot.

The jackpot currently sits at $660 USD which is a decent amount although the odds of hitting is are quite low.

Slots and Blackjack

The slots and blackjack portions of the site are very basic. The slots game is a traditional 5 reels slot game that lets you bet in any crypto currency you’d like. Keep in mind the odds of winning are around 49,7% so this is certainly not a great way to gamble on the site. (update 2016: autospin function added)

The blackjack is software based with a max bet of 100,000 credits which is the equivalent of 0.5 BTC. Again, the blackjack is not a great way to gamble but certainly an excellent way to have fun while you let your auto bets roll in the background.

A Great Place for Beginners

If it’s your first time gambling with crypto currencies then Crypto-Games is a great place to play. The site may not look spectacular but is provably fair and fully functional with a large community you can communicate with through the chat box. With full support for auto betting and slew of options to vary your betting ranges players can have a great time playing on the site even if they’re having a few spins on the slots game or hands of blackjack.

Crypto-Games is by no means one of the big name casinos we are used to reviewing but it still has its own special charm. We recommend visiting the site if you are looking for non-complex gaming or are new to the Bitcoin scene. You can be guaranteed to have some fun while also learning how to gamble with Bitcoins.

BITCOIN Review – Nitrogen

NitrogeneSports.eu, the #1 industry leader for both best sportsbook odds and game selection, has announced the launch of a brand new dice game with a lucky 7 jackpot already worth several Bitcoins. Setting the industry standard for Bitcoin sportsbook odds, Nitrogen Sports Dice provides players with another method of enjoying the site but lacks the integral features dice players hunger for to be considered anything truly special. Supplemented with poker and blackjack, Nitrogen does an amazing job fostering a safe haven for Bitcoin gamblers around the world.

Seamless Interface

The interface allows players to transition smoothly from one area of the site to another. Viewing your account settings, betting on sports and customizing your own bets is simplified and makes using the site pleasant for beginners and experts alike. While the color scheme isn’t anything to brag about, those who prioritize function over form won’t mind one bit as they functionality you need to succeed is right there in front of you. Players can choose their betting format from decimal, American or both if they so choose which is handy for the international audience Nitrogen panders to.

Accounts, Deposits and Withdrawals

Another area where Nitrogen Sports leads the industry is registration, deposits and withdrawals. Registration does not require an email or any personal information of any kind and can be done in 2 simple clicks of the mouse. Deposits require 0 confirmations so getting started betting is as fast as the Blockchain permits while withdrawals are virtually instant. Accounts can be secured with 2 factor authentication if players so choose to maximize the safety of their Bitcoins.

Self-exclusion is integrated directly into the site so players can opt out of certain areas of the site if they believe gambling has damaged their life in any way. Nitrogen Sports takes self-exclusion very seriously and has a disclaimer warning players that opting out of a game is irreversible.

Nitrogen Sportsbook

Betting itself is made as painless as possible and setting up parlays is uncomplicated as betting on two different matches automatically triggers the parlay feature. Teasers are available for football and basketball matches and live in-play betting is available for selected sports as well. Minimum bets are 0.001 BTC while maximum is a whopping 15 BTC.

It is critical to note that Nitrogen offers what is currently the best odds in the industry on every sportsbook bet. However, the options they give you to bet on are limited in contrast to other sites. Draws, over and under betting are available but other options such as final score, handicaps and other popular betting options are unlisted.

With all this in mind, Nitrogen does still house virtually every major sport under the sun on their site including rising markets like eSports, Aussie rules, handball, snooker and volleyball with top tier odds. The sportsbook is not to be taken lightly.

Nitrogen Dice

The brand new Nitrogen dice game operates on provably software with a 1% house edge. Players may bet on a high or low roll of the dice with a maximum bet of 5 BTC and minimum bet of 0.001 BTC to opt into the jackpot feature. The built-in jackpot can be won by having a 7 in your roll combination 7 times in a row. All rolling is done manually, meaning that there is no auto bet solution for players so make sure your trigger finger is in good shape.

Since the dice game is very basic with a standard house edge, we don’t recommend playing dice here as you can get more bang for your buck elsewhere. Anyone feeling lucky is encouraged to take a shot at the jackpot however, we did ourselves and came very close.

Nitrogen Poker

Staying ultra-competitive with the rest of the industry, NitrogenSports offers cash games, S&G’s and tournaments for players interested in No Limit Hold’Em and Omaha. Poker can be played in all stakes with a legitimately decent interface, chat box included. There are freeroll tournaments which run every hour for unskilled players to participate in if they so choose with 1 mBTC payouts for 1st place. In the past, Nitrogen Sports has hosted the largest poker tournament ever in the Bitcoin world with a 10 BTC jackpot won by a Seals with Clubs regular named DaBears11.

Nitrogen Casino

The casino portion of the site uses the same interface as the dice game and only blackjack can be played with 1 or 8 decks. Either selection you make, you are still playing software blackjack although it is provably fair. Nitrogen Blackjack gives players the option of betting for as low as 0.001 BTC and as much as 10 BTC total, striking a good balance between low and high stakes players.

Customer Service

The support team uses a standard ticket system where players need to submit a ticket which is usually responded to within 24 hours. Ours was responded to in 12 in a polite manner, which is a decent time frame but not exceptional. Your experience may vary.

Great Odds and Game Selection

Nitrogen Sports is an excellent platform with the best odds in the sportsbook industry. While it does not have as many options to bet on, you still have a higher payout which may be enough to draw some players to the site. Parlays, teasers and live betting are available with decent minimum and maximum wagers to satisfy the mass majority of players. There are no bonuses on the site which may be a drawback for some.

Dice, poker and blackjack are also on the site although they are all slightly under industry standards in comparison to platforms that specialize in each of these games. That being said Nitrogen performs well enough as an all-in-one environment that is friendly to new players. Their respect for player privacy, self-exclusion, security and fast deposits and withdrawals round off the site as an all-around industry leader.
