Where to start, the rules of Hold'em, how to get your crypto into a poker room and out again, how to play in USDT, how rake and the bonuses work, whether crypto poker is legal where you live, what every format in the lobby means, how to spot a scam, and a glossary for the words.
Start here
Your first session at a crypto poker room in seven steps: the legal check, the room, buying USDT, the first deposit, the bankroll, the first games and a withdrawal.
How to play Texas Hold'em
The rules of Texas Hold'em from the deal to the showdown: the blinds, the four betting rounds, the actions, side pots, what wins, and one hand played through.
How to deposit crypto
Buying USDT, choosing the right network, sending a test amount, how long it takes and what to do if a deposit does not show, with each room's networks and minimums.
How to avoid poker scams
How poker players lose money away from the table: copied sites, fake agents on Telegram, bonuses that cannot be released, rooms that do not pay, and stolen accounts.
Poker with USDT
Why USDT is the coin to play poker with, how to buy it, which network to send it on, how a deposit works at Basepoker and WePlay, and how you get the money back out.
How to withdraw
The withdrawal rules at Basepoker and WePlay, the steps from cashier to wallet, what a locked bonus does, fees, and what to do when the money does not arrive.
Is crypto poker legal?
The law where you live decides, not where the room is licensed. What a Costa Rica or Anjouan licence means, restricted countries, and what to check first.
Poker formats explained
Every game in a poker lobby and how the play changes: cash games, freezeouts, re-entry, rebuys and add-ons, bounties, satellites, Spins and All In or Fold.
How rake works
What rake is in cash games and tournaments, how a cap works, why it is the biggest cost at small stakes, how to work out what you pay, and what rakeback gives back.
Poker odds chart

Your first deposit, step by step
The WePlay cashier screen by screen, the Basepoker deposit window, and the network choice that decides whether the money arrives.
Poker with crypto, country by country
What the law says where you live: who may offer online poker, whether the player breaks the law, the tax on winnings, and whether these rooms take players from there.
