Mario Mosböck Partners With CoinPoker to Build the Best Online Poker Site, Showcasing PoR on the Blockchain
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.

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.

BALTENT’s slots-focused brand says the platform will support tracking, reporting and scalable partner management in regulated European markets.
Slots-focused online casino brand SpinsFriends has partnered with NetRefer to power and manage its affiliate programme as it expands across regulated European markets.
SpinsFriends is operated by BALTENT and runs two brands, Spins and Aladins. The company said it chose NetRefer in part because the platform already had an integration with its platform provider, enabling faster setup.
Artūrs Sarma, CEO and Founder at BALTENT, said, “NetRefer already had an existing integration with our platform provider, which made the decision straightforward and allowed us to move quickly with the setup. As we scale, having clear reporting and flexible commission structures is important, and the platform gives us the tools to manage our affiliate programme in a structured and efficient way. The onboarding process was well supported, and the team guided us through each step, which made the overall experience smooth.”
NetRefer said the deployment includes its Data Ingestion API for structured data transfer and real-time visibility into affiliate activity, alongside reporting tools such as BI Analytics and Report Builder. The vendor also highlighted NetRefer CoPilot AI for performance insights and “Enhanced Tracking,” which it said combines bot detection and user agent details.
Yuliia Borshch, NetRefer’s dedicated Account Manager for SpinsFriends, said, “SpinsFriends is a brand with a clear focus on building a structured and scalable affiliate programme, and we’re pleased to support that with technology designed to deliver both clarity and flexibility. Our platform provides the tools needed to manage performance with confidence, maintain transparency across its affiliate programme, and adapt as requirements evolve. We look forward to working closely with their team as they continue to grow.”
