How to easily set up a Bitcoin account for poker players

Bitcoin is a new age currency that provides unparalleled privacy. For the last few years, Bitcoin has been slowly replacing fiat currency and it has started to gain institutional recognition.

As a result, several poker platforms have started accepting the virtual currency.

Here’s how to easily set up a Bitcoin account for poker players and start playing using Bitcoin.

 

Step #1 Choose a Bitcoin exchange

The first step to using Bitcoin is searching for a good exchange that can convert fiat currencies to Bitcoin. Fortunately, there are tons of Bitcoin exchanges in existence today.

However, you can’t trust all the exchanges. Rogue exchanges just open shop to take your hard-earned money.

Some of the reputable exchanges include Coinbase and Bitpay.

In fact, it is best if you use Coinbase to buy Bitcoin; its ease of use is on another level.

 

Step #2 Input registration details

It’s a no-brainer that you have to register to use the services of the Bitcoin exchange of your choice. However, they only need superficial details such as your name, your gender and in some cases, your address.

After filling the registration form, you just hit the “register” button and the rest will be done for you. A Bitcoin wallet(to store purchased bitcoins) is created automatically and no further action is required on your part.

 

Step #3 Verify your identity

As a safeguard against fraud, exchanges such as Coinbase may require you to verify your identity to access their services.

In most cases, they just require you to upload a copy of your ID and/or driving license. In essence, they just require any document that shows your identity.

However, to use certain payment methods such as credit cards, you may be required to upload credit card statements to verify that you own the credit card. Also, you may be required to verify your address.

The identity verification process can be instant or it can take several days.

 

Step #4 Exchange fiat currencies for Bitcoin

After your identity has been verified, you can now exchange fiat currency for Bitcoin using your preferred payment method. The exchange rate provided depends on individual exchanges and of course, the prevailing rate. Some exchanges can sell you Bitcoin at a markup.

 

Step #5 Deposit to your poker room

If your poker room accepts Bitcoin payments, you only have to send Bitcoin from your wallet to their Bitcoin address. You can now use Bitcoin to play poker.
