Online poker site CoinPoker has released a proof of reserves (PoR) report showing that user deposits are covered 1:1 in cold wallets, visible on the blockchain, alongside additional reserves in hot wallets to process instant withdrawals.

Praising the move by the crypto-based poker site to increase transparency, former Austrian footballer and poker professional Mario Mosböck has partnered with the site as a new official ambassador, alongside British pro Patrick Leonard.

In an X post, Mario Mosböck stated the pair’s ‘mission is to guide the new leadership group to build the world’s best online poker site.’

Building A Top Online Poker Site With Cryptocurrency

Founded in 2017, CoinPoker is a relatively new crypto poker room and casino, but increasingly ranked among the top online poker sites by the likes of Card Player Magazine, PokerScout and Techopedia.

Unlike conventional internet poker sites that use fiat currency, on CoinPoker players bet with Tether (USDT) and the site is able to take advantage of the blockchain to show user funds are safe and segregated. 

Online poker was rocked by the Full Tilt Poker scandal in 2011, in which user funds were co-mingled with operating funds, and the company went insolvent in the industry’s ‘Black Friday’.

Many top poker sites increasingly accept cryptocurrencies as a deposit method, but CoinPoker is among a small and growing contingent to go ‘all in’ and embrace it for all actions at the poker table. Players can deposit USDT, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Binance Coin or its own native token CHP which unlocks 33% rakeback for holders.

For added security, CoinPoker also makes use of Fireblocks vaults and a decentralized RNG (random number generator) software that players can verify the randomness of after every hand, utilizing Ethereum’s Keccak-256 algorithm.  

CoinPoker Sign Mario Mosböck, Patrick ‘Pads’ Leonard

28 year old Mario Mosböck, who played as a forward for Austrian Football club Wiener Neustädter SC, recently made a name for himself on the live and online poker scene.

He now has over $11.7 million in recorded live tournament earnings, including a first place finish at the Triton Super High Roller Series in Jeju for $1.1 million, and a runner-up finish at the 2023 WPT Big One for One Drop for $4.6 million.

Mario players under the screenname ‘livinmydream’ on CoinPoker, often seen in high stakes battles in $25/$50 PLO cash games and higher.

Patrick Leonard is a former PartyPoker ambassador and currently ranked 38th on the England all time money list by the Hendon Mob poker database. His total live earnings exceed $3.1 million – including a WSOP bracelet win – and his online earnings of over $19.2 million have seen the 35 year old often rated among the best online MTT players in the world.

Also a highly regarded poker coach, Patrick mentors mid stakes players to improve their games, with some of the grinders under his wing going on to win EPT, WCOOP and SCOOP events.

He describes his goal at CoinPoker to help ‘create the safest and best online poker room in the world’ and worked alongside the site to produce its proof of reserves report.

Proof of Reserves on the Blockchain

On its PoR report, CoinPoker writes:

‘CoinPoker prioritizes customer security and peace of mind. Our operations are safeguarded by a Curaçao eGaming License, ensuring compliance with strict regulatory standards. We demonstrate our financial integrity through Proof of Reserves, holding sufficient funds to cover all user assets. Proof of Reserves refers to the assets we hold in custody for users when they deposit funds into their accounts. 

Here we provide proof that CoinPoker has funds held in reserve to cover all of our users’ assets 1:1, as well as some additional reserves. It’s important to note that this sum of funds refers only to users’ funds. CoinPoker’s corporate holdings, which are stored in wallets completely separately, are not factored into the proof of reserves calculations.’

At this time, CoinPoker customer deposits total approximately $16 million, and the total assets held in reserve to cover those is just under $16.75 million, equal to 105% of deposits.

The exact amount of player deposits is updated dynamically every few minutes on the coinpoker.com website.

Links are provided to view those funds on the blockchain via etherscan.io, blockchain.com, bscscan.com, and other crypto tracking sites depending on the token.

The majority of funds are held in cold storage for security, with some in hot wallets to process instant withdrawals – players can deposit and withdraw funds within minutes via a MetaMask wallet or a crypto exchange account.

To celebrate releasing the report, CoinPoker also announced an exclusive promotion for players to gain free entry into the upcoming $40k GTD Sunday Special tournament, on the company’s Instagram and other socials.

The IBJR stresses that combating the illegal market is crucial for Desenrola 2.0

The Brazilian Institute for Responsible Gaming (IBJR) warns that the effectiveness of financial protection measures in Desenrola 2.0 fundamentally depends on a rigorous fight against the illegal betting market.

It is also worth emphasizing that in 2025, bets placed on licensed platforms accounted for the equivalent of only 0.46% of household consumption in the country, an extremely small share within the Brazilian budget, according to data from a study by LCA Consultoria.

This reinforces that the main factor of indebtedness in the Brazilian budget continues to be the high cost of credit.

The entity also emphasizes that restrictions on access to the regulated sector may encourage users to migrate to clandestine platforms, which already move around R$ 40 billion per year and operate without any oversight or consumer protection mechanisms.

Combating the illegal market is the most urgent step to prevent unlicensed operators—often associated with organized crime—from exploiting periods of restriction to attract vulnerable audiences.

This concern is heightened by the proximity of the World Cup, a period of natural increase in the volume of sports betting, and by the potential loss of R$ 10.8 billion in revenue for the country if consumption shifts to the underground market.

The IBJR reinforces that the real protection of citizens and the integrity of Desenrola 2.0 depend on coordinated action between the government and the private sector.

The organization advocates for public policies that combine financial education, strengthening responsible gambling, and a strategic offensive against clandestine websites, ensuring that entertainment occurs exclusively within a safe, transparent, and properly monitored ecosystem.

ALT Sports Data, a global leader in engagement solutions and official data for emerging sports, has announced a new partnership with Caesars Entertainment. The partnership powers a new, next-generation Formula 1 betting product for Caesars’ sports betting platforms, delivering one of the most advanced wagering experiences ever offered on motorsports across Caesars Sportsbook and William Hill digital and retail platforms.

Caesars Sportsbook and William Hill will leverage ALT Sports Data’s proprietary Formula 1 models, pricing, and real-time data infrastructure to offer a comprehensive and differentiated suite of betting markets. Built on sub-second latency data and hundreds of inputs per car, the platform enables dynamic pricing and continuous market recalibration throughout Formula 1 race weekends.

This includes live race micro markets, predictive driver performance modeling, and large-scale race simulations that generate thousands of possible race outcomes per event, allowing for deeper and more accurate pricing across every lap.

“Formula 1 is one of the most complex and data-rich environments in global sport, and that complexity creates an opportunity to completely redefine the betting experience. Our platform is designed to unlock that potential at scale, and partnering with Caesars allows us to bring a truly differentiated, always-on product to market that reflects the speed, strategy, and unpredictability of Formula 1,” said Joe Dunnigan, CEO and Founder of ALT Sports Data.

“Formula 1 continues to captivate fans with its intensity, strategy, and constant innovation. By integrating ALT Sports Data’s advanced modeling and real-time official data, we’re able to elevate our Formula 1 offering and give customers a more dynamic way to experience every moment of the race weekend,” said Eric Hession, President of Caesars Digital.

In addition to core markets such as race winner and podium finishes, Caesars and William Hill will offer an expanded set of in-play and micro markets, including lap-by-lap driver matchups, fastest segment performance, pit stop outcomes, overtakes, and position-based milestones. These markets are designed to evolve in real time, enabling a true race-within-a-race experience for bettors.

As the Official and Exclusive Betting Data Supplier of Formula 1, ALT Sports Data is building the foundational infrastructure to support the sport’s growing focus on regulated sports betting and fan engagement. With Formula 1 increasing its investment in official betting partnerships and data-driven engagement, the expansion of sophisticated betting products represents a key strategic initiative for the league and its global ecosystem.
