CoinPoker Features: Why We Have the Best Online Poker in Australia

Are you looking to play online poker in Australia for real money, but are not sure where to start?

CoinPoker can offer some of the best and most exciting online poker Australia has to offer, and our platform boasts a wide variety of awesome features that you won’t find anywhere else. Whether you play against other players, or choose online poker machines with reliable odds—we have the best games around—on the most trusted poker platform you’ll find in Australia.

Crypto poker on CoinPoker

The World’s No. 1 Crypto Poker Site

CoinPoker is one of the pioneering online poker platforms in Australia, allowing you to play for real money using cryptocurrency. Not only are we among the few poker sites offering this option, but we were also named the number one crypto poker site globally by CryptoNews.com.

At CoinPoker, you can make deposits using major cryptocurrencies such as BTC, ETH, and USDT, and such deposits can be processed instantly. The same currencies can be used for cashouts, and the processing time on withdrawal requests will be anywhere between a few minutes and 72 hours, with most cashout requests getting handled in record times.

If you want to experience all the perks of CoinPoker, including the weekly 33% cashback, you will need to purchase some CoinPoker tokens (CHP). You can easily convert any crypto you have into CHP at CoinPoker and use this crypto coin to play and get your weekly rakeback.

Advanced RNG on CoinPoker with decentralized deck shuffling and provably fair outcomes.

Fair & Decentralized Card Shuffling

When playing online poker with traditional providers, you might feel like the deck is unfairly shuffled. Perhaps your strong hands often lose to full houses, or your pocket Kings frequently run into pocket Aces.

However, when you play poker online in Australia with CoinPoker, you can actively participate in the deck shuffling. We use a fully decentralized RNG, the first of its kind.

Our decentralized RNG employs a one-way cryptographic function with a secret ‘shake factor’ that’s shared with all other players and CoinPoker. We then use these values to create the final shake value and shuffle the deck.

In short, our decentralized RNG ensures that every hand dealt on the platform is perfectly random, and all cards are shuffled secretly. The decentralization ensures that no one can tamper with the RNG, including any member of CoinPoker staff, players, or third parties.

Safety & Trust

Safety & Trust

Safety is of paramount importance when playing online poker, and CoinPoker ensures it in more ways than one. To start with, CoinPoker has an Anjouan Internet Gaming License, a major gaming license that enforces strict regulations. By adhering to the terms of its license, CoinPoker ensures randomness, safety, and security across all parts of the platform.

CoinPoker also does a lot to ensure it is a trustworthy site that players want to return to. By providing proof of reserves, we demonstrate the ability to pay out every deposit ever made on the platform, which can be independently checked by anyone at any time. We choose transparency, where other legacy operators keep this information under wraps.

These are just some of the elements that make CoinPoker one of the best online poker sites in Australia and one of the most trustworthy entities in all of online poker.

Anonymous Play

Anonymous Play

To plenty of players, privacy is just as important as security when playing online poker. At CoinPoker, we guarantee every player’s anonymity and privacy and ensure no one will know who you are while playing. We don’t impose any KYC procedures, which means you won’t have to prove your identity or wait for prolonged periods of time before being able to process cashouts.

By allowing for anonymous play, we ensure every player feels like their privacy matters. Whatever your reasons for wanting to remain anonymous, CoinPoker respects them and allows you to play in the complete anonymity of your screen name.

Crypto bonus on CoinPoker

Unbeatable Bonuses, Cashback & Promos

At CoinPoker, we offer some of the best promotions and special offers to Australian online poker enthusiasts.

First, you can claim a 150% welcome bonus on your first deposit of $10 or more (up to $2,000). This bonus is released in installments as you play, with the required community contributions amount depending on your deposit value.

We also offer a highly competitive rakeback promotion. Every week, you can earn back 33% of the rake you paid in the previous week for tournaments and cash games. For regular players, these cashback payments can stack up over time.

Android poker on CoinPoker

Mobile Poker App for Australia

The CoinPoker platform has been fully optimized for Android and Windows devices, with a working iOS app set to be delivered in the near future. For the time being, Apple users can still download the MacOS app to their desktop devices until the iOS app drops very soon.

For everyone on Android devices, the CoinPoker mobile app brings a wide range of exciting features, along with access to the full scope of poker games available on the platform. The app is smooth and runs well on all sorts of Android devices, allowing you to jump into the action on the go and play cash games, tournaments, and real money poker machines. The app is also compatible with vertical tablet devices if you prefer larger displays on the go.

Our Poker Games

Real Money Online Poker Games on CoinPoker

Here at CoinPoker, we know what you want: your favorite poker games in one place, without having to filter through dozens of different variants that you’ve never played before.

Poker players at CoinPoker can enjoy a wide range of poker games, both at cash game and tournament tables. Whether you are looking to play No Limit Texas Hold’em, Pot Limit Omaha, or 5 Card Pot Limit Omaha, real Online Poker Machines, or Live Dealer Online Poker, we have you covered.

A game of No Limit Holdem (NLH) on CoinPoker.

Texas Hold'em (NLH)

Texas Hold’em is probably the world’s most popular variation of poker, where each player receives two private cards, known as ‘hole’ cards, and uses five face-up community cards.

Players use any combination of their private cards and the community cards to make the best possible five-card hand. You can combine one or both of your hole cards with the community cards, or even play the five community cards without any of your hole cards at showdown. Make the best five-card hand, however you can.

A game of Pot Limit Omaha (PLO) on CoinPoker.

Pot Limit Omaha (PLO)

In Pot Limit Omaha (PLO) each player is dealt four private cards, while five community cards are dealt face up. Unlike Texas Hold’em, players must use exactly two of their hole cards and three of the community cards to form the best five-card hand.

The betting structure is “pot limit,” meaning players can bet up to the current size of the pot. Because players begin with four hole cards, PLO typically results in higher hand values and more frequent draws (when a player needs one card to complete a strong five-card poker hand) compared to Texas Hold’em, making it arguably a game of greater complexity and potential for big swings in chip stacks.

A game of 5-Card Pot Limit Omaha (PLO) on CoinPoker.

5-Card Omaha (PLO5)

5-Card Pot Limit Omaha (5-Card PLO) is a poker variation that builds on traditional Pot Limit Omaha by giving each player an additional hole card.

Like in regular PLO, players must use exactly two of their five private cards, combined with three of the five community cards, to create the best five-card hand. The increased number of hole cards leads to more potential hand combinations and greater complexity. Like regular PLO, betting is capped at the current size of the pot, but the additional card in 5-Card PLO often results in more action and larger pots.

Online Poker in Australia: Popularity, Trends & Market Size

Online gambling is highly regulated in Australia, but revenue from this market was expected to reach US$10.14bn in 2024, hitting US$12.82bn by 2029. What’s more, in a 2022 survey, three out of four Aussies aged over 18 reported spending money on one or more gambling products in the previous 12 months.

Despite the Australian government implementing tighter regulations governing online gambling compared to many countries around the world, Australians have always been big fans of poker, both live and online. The high-profile success of poker pros Joe Hachem, Jeff Lisandro, and Michael Addamo has helped to grow the game’s popularity.

Live poker is particularly booming down under, with the Australian National Poker League running dozens of events across every state in the nation, with a wide range of buy-in levels and game types. The Australian Poker Tour also runs events throughout the year, with some really exciting tournaments and eye-watering prize pools on offer.


Can You Play Real Money Poker Online in Australia?

With regulations changing all the time, you may be wondering, “Is online poker legal in Australia?”

The Interactive Gambling Act 2001 made it illegal for gambling providers to offer some online services to Australian citizens, including online casinos. This stance is very similar to how online poker in the USA is regulated. The act also made it illegal to advertise those services in Australia. While these restrictions work with local providers, international gambling websites can still be found online and accessed by Australian poker fans.

This provides opportunities for Aussies to play on websites like CoinPoker. Still, if you are worried about the legality of playing at CoinPoker, we recommend consulting local laws and asking for legal advice from professionals in the field.

Taxation of Poker Winnings in Australia

If you’re playing online poker in Australia for real money, you might be wondering if you need to declare your winnings to the Australian Taxation Office. Fortunately, Aussie CoinPoker players do not need to declare gambling winnings as they are not considered ‘assessable income’. The exception is if you’re playing poker professionally and using it to make a steady income. In these cases, an Australian court would consider the following factors:

  • Is the activity undertaken in a business-like manner?
  • Does the person have specialist knowledge associated with that gambling activity?
  • The scale of operations.

Not that if you do play poker online professionally, then gambling costs and losses are tax-deductible. With taxes and finances, we recommend you speak with professionals to illuminate any blind spots.


Cryptocurrencies in Australia: Can you Buy Cryptos Down-Under?

Cryptocurrency has become a popular financial asset in Australia, with one million Aussies now owning at least one crypto, while 600,000 have declared crypto holdings in their tax returns.

In Australia, cryptocurrencies are generally treated as investments, and it’s entirely legal for Australians to buy and sell the cryptocurrencies we accept at CoinPoker: BTC, ETH, USDT, and CHP.

Buying these coins in Australia is simple—all you need to do is find a reliable and trusted crypto exchange, create an account, and create a ‘hot wallet’, provided by the exchange or via a separate wallet platform. Such hot wallets are software wallets that you access by providing a complex password known as a “seed phrase” that you should never share with anyone else.


 

Strategy Time

How to Play Your Best Poker in Australia

Now that you know you can play online poker at CoinPoker, you are probably eager to get started. However, it is important to remember that poker (even on online poker machines) is a strategy game, and you may need to master the game before getting involved if you are a novice.

If you haven’t played much poker before, start out by checking out our beginner’s guide to poker strategy, where you can learn the basic concepts you need to play the game competitively. Also, remember to master poker hand rankings before sitting down to play, as you don’t want to be unsure what hand beats what when you are already in action.

Past these simple concepts, we recommend diving into some of the more complex poker strategy topics, such as:

Poker Position

Position is an essential element of poker. Make sure to study the importance of poker position and how your relative position at the table should impact the way you play your cards.

Poker Odds

Knowing the mathematical odds of making your hand or beating your opponent is crucial. Master poker odds and outs, learn about pot odds and implied odds, and use the math to beat your opponents.

Game Theory Optimal Poker (GTO)

Once you are ready to take your game to the next level, consider learning more about GTO poker. This modern poker strategy will allow you to compete against anyone in the world once you have a good handle on it.

Responsible Gaming

CoinPoker strives to protect its players by promoting responsible gaming. From information about responsible gaming to responsible gaming tools like deposit limits and self-exclusion, we provide all the tools you need to ensure your play at CoinPoker remains a fun hobby.

If you happen to be struggling with any form of gambling addiction or know someone who is, you can find the help needed at the Department of Social Services website, including the numbers of gambling helplines and more.

Always remember to play responsibly, only put the money you can afford to lose into play, and stick to the poker stakes you can afford.
