About Us

smallcappulse.com is an independent site focused on one job: helping people considering CoinPoker figure out whether it's worth their time and money, and what the current welcome offer actually gets them. We're not CoinPoker, and we don't work for any poker room. We're a small team of poker-literate reviewers who dig into the crypto side of online poker specifically — deposits, payout speed, fairness checks, and how bonus terms actually clear — because that's the part general poker sites tend to skim over.

Why a Site About One Poker Room

Crypto poker sits in an odd spot. It borrows the rules and formats of regular online poker — No Limit Hold'em, Pot Limit Omaha, Sit & Gos, multi-table tournaments — but layers on questions that don't come up on a traditional site: which coins are supported, how volatile is the token you might be paid rewards in, how does the room prove its shuffle isn't rigged, and can a US player even use it without running into legal trouble. We built this page to answer those questions directly for CoinPoker rather than burying them in a broader "best poker sites" roundup.

What We Actually Cover

Our review content works through the practical decision points a prospective player has, in roughly this order:

• What CoinPoker is and how its crypto-native model differs from a standard poker room
• The current welcome bonus and promo code, including how the bonus clears and any time limit attached
• Rake, rakeback, and the rewards structure
• Games on offer — cash games, MTTs, Sit & Gos, and the stake levels and guaranteed prize pools involved
• Fairness measures, including provably fair claims and anti-collusion or bot detection systems
• Deposit and withdrawal mechanics, supported cryptocurrencies, and typical payout speed
• Verification (KYC) requirements and what they mean for a self-custody-minded player
• Licensing, where the operator is based, and — critically for US readers — the legal grey area around real-money crypto poker in the United States

Where a topic like problem gambling support or site terms deserves its own space, we point readers to it rather than cramming it in — see our responsible gambling resources and our terms and conditions page.

How We Rate and Rank

The editorial ratings shown alongside CoinPoker and the other rooms listed on this site come from comparing publicly available information: stated licensing, bonus terms as published by each operator, game variety, and how each site describes its fairness and security measures. We do not claim to have deposited, played, or withdrawn funds on any of these platforms — we researched and verified what's publicly documented rather than testing it ourselves, and we say so plainly where evidence is limited. Commercial relationships with any operator do not influence where it sits in our rankings; a room's position reflects our assessment of the offer and the platform, not what it pays us.

How We Make Money

smallcappulse.com may earn a commission if you sign up to CoinPoker or another listed room through a link on this site. That doesn't cost you anything extra, and it doesn't change our ranking order or the terms we report — bonus figures, clearing conditions, and limitations are written the same way whether or not a commercial relationship exists. If we can't verify a claim, we say that instead of guessing.

What This Page Won't Do

We won't tell you poker is a reliable way to make money, and we won't suggest that skill removes the risk of losing your deposit — it doesn't, especially once you add crypto price volatility into the mix. Any figures you see attached to CHP, BTC, ETH, or USDT balances can move in value between the moment you deposit and the moment you cash out, and that's on top of normal poker variance. We also won't imply CoinPoker is clearly legal or regulated for US players. It's licensed offshore, real-money poker for US residents remains a legal grey area, and there are no US-style player protections attached to that licence. Anyone in the US should check their own state's law before playing, and treat any tax question with a qualified professional rather than anything written on a review site.

A Straightforward Reminder

Online poker, including crypto poker, is intended for adults aged 21 and over in the United States. It should be entertainment, never a way to cover bills or recover a loss. If gambling stops feeling like entertainment, free and confidential help is available through the National Council on Problem Gambling at 1-800-GAMBLER. For more on the tools CoinPoker and other operators typically offer to help you stay in control, see our responsible gambling page.

Questions or Corrections

Bonus codes, terms, and platform features change without much notice, and we work to keep our CoinPoker coverage current — but if you spot something out of date or have a question about how we reached a particular rating, we'd rather hear about it than leave it wrong. Reach us through our contact page and we'll follow up.
