How to deposit with crypto to play poker

Join LemOn36 with his guide on how to deposit Bitcoin and other altcoins to play on sites like BetOnline.

Our friends at BetOnline have a unique feature where you can deposit using cryptocurrency to play online poker. It is surprisingly easy, but if you are new to crypto it is understandably daunting. 

Our coach LemOn36 recently did a stream where he tested out BetOnline's game and features, during which he showed just how easy it was to deposit using crypto. Today we have the recording of his guide. 

You don't even need to have ever owned any crypto before and you can be playing in 'fiat' money (ie. dollars) in no time at all. 

Also if you are new to crypto (now is a great time to buy as if you have seen the news this week, you'll know it's 'on sale' at the moment) this is a good way to dip your toes in the space to get you started. 

If you have any more questions be sure to visit our BetOnline forum. 

June Promotions at BetOnline

As is tradition, BetOnline also returns their exclusive Poker Leaderboards this month, giving all their players the chance to earn daily and weekly cash rewards. Available until June 30, just make sure to opt-in to the respective competitions to play for your share of $85,000 in rewards that will be given away in total throughout the month.

This time around, there will be a mix of daily and weekly races, with the former offered for BetOnline's fast-fold format Boost as well as their lottery SNG format Windfall. Additionally, the weekly leaderboards will be offered for regular Hold'em and PLO cash games as well as traditional SNGs.

Daily Boost and Windfall Leaderboards

Two daily races will give away rewards to the top 10 cash game players at Boost tables and Windfall games. You must opt-in daily and play Boost tables with stakes of $0.10/$0.25 and Windfalls with a $3 or $5 buy-in to collect points in the race. In total, $500 per day will be given away in this daily competition.

$15,000 in Weekly Cash Game Leaderboards

Apart from the daily races, there's also a $10,000 leaderboard running with rewards for the top 100 No-Limit Hold’em players each week as well as a $5,000 race rewarding the top 75 Pot Limit Omaha players.

Don't forget to opt-in to each leaderboard before each of your poker sessions to ensure your points are tracked accordingly. The total amount of points earned in the leaderboard if you make the top 100 or 75 players will determine your share of the prize pool.

$2,500 in Weekly Sit & Go Leaderboards

SNG enthusiasts loving the fast-paced one-table tourneys will have their own competition on top to race for a share of $2,500 every single week in June, too.

The top 50 players are paid with Tournament Money (TM) based on their points contribution, meaning you are in control of how much you'll earn each week. The won Tournament Money (TM) can then be spent to purchase all kinds of entries into any real money tournament offered by BetOnline.

Where to find the Poker Leaderboards at BetOnline

Simply log into the poker client and navigate to the "My Missions" tab ("Contest" on mobile) in the lobby in order to opt-in to your preferred leaderboard.
