How to Start Playing Poker with Bitcoin Online poker is booming again. With so many people leaving the brick-and-mortar world behind, Ignition Poker is busier than ever – thanks in no small part to Bitcoin. We were one of the first online rooms to offer Bitcoin poker; that expertise is one of just several reasons you should use cryptocurrency to play at Ignition. Our latest Bitcoin guide will show you how easy it is. How to Play Texas Hold’em with Bitcoin It’s been almost 20 years since the last poker boom, and a lot of things have changed since then, but one thing remains constant: Texas Hold’em is the most popular poker game on the planet.
