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.

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.

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.

BGaming, a popular iGaming content provider, has unveiled its latest #Entertainment slot, Piggy Bank Hold & Win, inviting players to join a lively cast of colourful piggies in a playful new release.

The game puts a fresh spin on the well-known Hold and Win mechanic, unfolding across a compact 3×3 grid enhanced by vibrant, casual-style visuals and upbeat audio.

Players aim to activate the Hold and Win bonus by landing three symbols on the middle horizontal reel. Above the reels sit three piggy characters—Green, Pink, and Blue—each capable of triggering unique features during the bonus round. As the game progresses, the piggies collect coins that land on the grid, steadily building anticipation with every spin.

Each piggy introduces a distinct mechanic: the Green Piggy can reset remaining spins back to three, the Pink Piggy applies multipliers of up to x8 to total winnings, and the Blue Piggy expands the grid to 3×5, unlocking greater win potential.

Additional features include Mystery and Collect symbols, alongside five available jackpots, with the top Royal Jackpot offering a payout of up to 2,000x the bet.

A playful detail sees a pig snout appear at the side of the grid, giving players access to Buy Bonus options. This allows instant entry into a randomised bonus round or enhanced versions with extra features.

Alex Baliukonis, Game Producer at BGaming, said, “The Hold and Win gameplay mechanic is one of the most consistently popular with players right now, and with Piggy Bank Hold and Win, we have added plenty of personality to the format.

The game’s playful design perfectly matches the fast-paced features, showing that you can add something fresh to a well-known formula without overcomplicating it, and we look forward to seeing how players engage with Piggy Bank Hold & Win.”

Evoplay, the award-winning game developer, is marking the Easter season with the release of two vibrant new titles — Uncrossable Rush Eggster and 3 Bunny Pots Bonanza — combining high-energy gameplay with feature-rich mechanics.

Leading the seasonal rollout is Uncrossable Rush Eggster, the newest entry in the studio’s popular crash-style series. Players once again follow Eggwina the hen as she navigates a hectic 24-lane highway, choosing after each successful move whether to cash out or continue for bigger multipliers.

The game offers four difficulty levels, from Easy to Hardcore, alongside fully customisable autoplay settings. With unpredictable traffic patterns shaping every round, the experience delivers a dynamic risk-reward balance where no two sessions feel the same. Fast-paced gameplay and rising multipliers make it particularly appealing for players seeking quick, high-intensity sessions with a seasonal twist.

Joining the release is 3 Bunny Pots Bonanza, a slot set inside a treasure-filled bunny vault, where players spin for vibrant coins, glittering gems, and golden rewards.

At its core are Bonus Coin symbols that unlock a feature packed with multipliers, extra spins, and expanding reels through three distinct boosters. With multiple gameplay combinations and the potential to trigger the Grand Jackpot, the title offers a highly engaging experience with strong replay value and multiple paths to big wins.

Together, the two launches highlight Evoplay’s ability to blend seasonal themes with varied gameplay formats, catering to a wide spectrum of player preferences during one of the year’s most active content periods.

Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “Easter is a great opportunity for us to explore more playful themes across different game formats.

“With Uncrossable Rush Eggster, we’ve added a seasonal twist to one of our most recognisable series, while 3 Bunny Pots Bonanza delivers a feature-rich slot packed with colour and rewarding mechanics. Together, they offer players two distinct but equally engaging ways to celebrate the season.”

Kendoo Accelerates with Jackpot-Driven Locomotoro

Exciting Loco Free Spins, engaging Toro Bonus, and the exhilarating VIP Express jackpot conclusion.

Kendoo, the rapidly expanding slot developer, has accelerated the launch of Locomotoro, an exciting 5×3 slot where thunderous engines and a fierce Toro drive each spin on a progression-focused adventure.

Designed to cater to every player, from casual to high-stakes, Locomotoro embodies Kendoo’s player-centric philosophy in game development. Centered on dynamic visuals, the game employs gratifying mechanics and a captivating rhythm that heightens excitement before presenting substantial wins in the VIP Express.

Central to the experience is the Toro Bonus, a Hold and Win feature that enlarges the grid from 5×3 to 5×6 when players reveal extra rows with Green Light symbols. Every Green Light unlocks a secured row and turns into a Bonus or Collect symbol, instantly enhancing the board’s worth.

When Bonus, Bonus Jackpot, and Collect symbols appear, respins are reset, and Collect symbols accumulate all active values and remain fixed, progressively leading to substantial payouts.

After all rows are freed, the following Green Light opens the Golden Gate, subsequently triggering the VIP Express at the conclusion of the feature.

In the VIP Express feature, a golden train comes in with cars loaded with rewards determined by the overall bet amount. Prizes consist of the Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand jackpots, with the Grand providing 1000x.

All VIP Express rewards are incorporated straight into the Toro Bonus amount. Moreover, gathering 30 symbols of any kind during the Toro Bonus triggers a Full Board Multiplier, which doubles the total payout of the feature.

Loco Spins introduce additional diversity, activated by three Scatter symbols to grant five Free Spins, with chances for retriggering during the round.

For players looking to access premium gameplay instantly, the Buy Feature option allows entry into the Toro Bonus for 75x the bet or the enhanced VIP Toro Bonus for 150x, with higher chances at triggering the VIP Express

Locomotoro is now available for demo and real play across all Kendoo partner platforms.

Kate Romanenko, Commercial Director at Kendoo, said: “Locomotoro is built around momentum and structured payoff. Players can feel the progression as they unlock rows, open the Golden Gate and ultimately trigger the VIP Express.

“It delivers a strong bonus climax combined with clear win progression, which makes the overall experience both satisfying and highly engaging.”
