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.

MGD – the Tax That Could Cost Britain its “Great Seaside Holiday”

Published

Bacta has warned how an increase in Machine Games Duty will have a devastating impact on the country’s seaside piers and arcades forcing closures and undermining the appeal of the Great British seaside holiday.

The warning comes after research conducted by VisitBritain showed an 18% year-on-year decline in trips to England’s coast, an alarming down-turn that has seen it launch the domestic coastal campaign – #AllOnTheCoast – which encourages the supply chain of seaside businesses and partners to share videos and social posts to inspire Brits to discover England’s seaside and coastal destinations.

Commenting on the VistBritain campaign against the backdrop of the recent Social Market Foundation proposal to increase Machine Games Duty, Bacta President Joseph Cullis said: “Such a decline in trips to the coast, as reported by VistBritain, is extremely concerning.

“What’s perfectly clear is that any increase in the tax burden for already under pressure destination venues such as piers and coastal arcades will directly impact the appeal of a trip to the seaside as businesses either close permanently, are forced to pass on tax increases to holiday makers or have to reduce the hospitality offering. However individual businesses respond, the outcome is inevitable – a significantly reduced and more expensive experience that will serve to either transform two or three- night breaks into a day trip, and/or encourage families to holiday abroad.”

Increasing the tax burden would also have a significant impact on regional economies.

“Many seaside piers and amusement arcades rely on the income from their gaming areas to stay viable year-round. That income helps keep staff employed beyond the summer season and it helps maintain the attractions and buildings that are part of Britain’s coastal heritage. Take it away and the damage spreads throughout the broader business community of bars, cafes, newsagents, restaurants, convenience stores and B&Bs. Healthy, well-maintained piers and sea-front arcades make the difference between resort status and simply being somewhere that visitors go for a coastal walk,” noted Cullis.

“A pier does not survive on warm words about heritage, an arcade cannot pay wages with nostalgia and games creators aren’t able to invest in new products if the market is taxed into decline. It would be painfully ironic if the government chooses to implement a destructive tax regime that will destroy the Great British seaside holiday at the same time as funding VistBritain’s #AllOnTheCoast campaign.”
