Software review
The Coinpoker client is a standard poker client with its own strengths and weaknesses. It has the usual buy-in, auto-rebuy, time-bank and table-position settings. From the lobby you can see who is sitting, and there are waiting lists. Filters are simple, and the tournament lobby opens in a separate window.
One awkward limitation is that you cannot see an opponent mucked hand at showdown the way you can in live poker. The default table settings let you pick from several decks, card backs and tables. If those are not enough, there are extra layouts for the Coinpoker client.
Regulars can customize the client with WPN Tools. PokerTracker and Holdem Manager work on Coinpoker without a special converter.
Traffic review
Coinpoker is one of the largest public rooms where you can play with players from the US. 6-max cash tables are the most popular, and Coinpoker also has a smaller share of 9-max and cap tables.
At peak, the lobby can show up to 50 tables at NL25 and more than 20 at NL50-100. Higher stakes mostly run up to NL600, with up to 15 tables. NL1K-NL2K usually has 2-3 tables. Omaha has about 5 tables per limit up to PLO200, and 2-3 tables per limit above that up to PLO5K.
At NL100-200 there can be up to a dozen tables at peak. Traffic is highest during the European night and morning, but good tables are available at other times too.
The newer Blitz fast-fold tables, similar to Zoom on PokerStars, quickly became popular up to NL200.
Promotions and bonuses
The bonus matches 100% of a deposit from $25 to $1,000. It is released at $1 for every $5 of rake (27.5 Status Points) and works out to about 20% rakeback. No bonus code is required. You have 60 days to clear it. Crypto deposits get a 200% bonus, so a $500 deposit is enough for the maximum bonus.
Because the bonus is released in small pieces, a larger deposit is usually better so the bonus does not run out before the clearing period ends.
The room also runs reload bonuses from time to time, usually around special events.
