These assets can then be traded or held to cover transaction fees. Recommended currencies are Tether (USDT), Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH) because of their popularity, making them the easiest assets to trade. BTC is more stable in terms of price, while ETH and USDT transactions are faster. The latter is also our ingame currency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can buy crypto using your credit card or bank wire at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/cex.io\/\">CEX<\/a>, one of the most popular websites for purchasing crypto assets. Our team used a credit card to test it out and it only took&nbsp;<strong>2 hours<\/strong>&nbsp;to register, deposit, and have the crypto assets appear on our balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are the most important things you need to know about buying crypto on CEX:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Deposits via Bank Transfer: FREE<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deposits with Visa or MasterCard: 3% Commission<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deposit Limit: \u20ac20 to \u20ac1,000 with Verified ID (Proof of Address up to \u20ac3,000)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fiat to Crypto Exchange Fee: 0.25%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you struggle with anything, get in touch with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/support.cex.io\/hc\/en-us\">CEX support<\/a>, or try one of the following alternative platforms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinbase.com\/\">Coinbase<\/a>&nbsp;\u2013 Very popular, but the limit for instant deposits via credit card is only \u20ac35. You can do larger deposits via bank wire, however, it might take up to 3 business days.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/shakepay.co\/\">Shakepay<\/a>&nbsp;\u2013 This is the best option if you have Canadian bank account.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: Create a Personal Crypto Wallet<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you purchase crypto assets with your credit card or via bank transfer, the next step is sending them to a <a href=\"https:\/\/coinpoker.com\/help\/faq-chp-wallets\/\">cryptocurrency wallet<\/a>. There are a few wallet options available, and below are the pros and cons of each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Web Wallet \u2013&nbsp;<\/strong>While these wallets are the least secure option, they are also the easiest to use. That\u2019s because they require no downloads and are free. However, storing your assets on web wallets for extended periods of time is not advised.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.myetherwallet.com\/access-my-wallet\">MyEtherWallet<\/a>&nbsp;(MEW) is our top recommendation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Software Wallet&nbsp;<\/strong>\u2013 If you are just starting out and don\u2019t have a lot of assets to hold, or you do and can\u2019t afford a hardware wallet, a software wallet is the way to go. A software wallet stores the token addresses of most popular cryptocurrencies, so you can use one to hold many types of assets.<br>While these wallets are secure, they are still constantly connected to the internet. This means that, technically, it is still possible to hack them, unlike hardware wallets that stay offline. On the plus side, software wallets eliminate some of the risks that come with storing your crypto on web wallets like MEW. A couple of great software wallets are&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/atomicwallet.io\/\">Atomic Wallet<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.exodus.io\/\">Exodus<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hardware Wallet&nbsp;<\/strong>\u2013 Hardware wallets are by far the most secure way to store your crypto assets. However, they come with a price tag, since this option involves buying a device much like a flash drive where you store your private keys. Despite being offline most of the time, you connect it to your computer to gain access to your wallet. Some excellent hardware wallets are made by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/trezor.io\/\">Trezor<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ledger.com\/\">Ledger<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>!!! MAKE SURE TO WRITE DOWN YOUR PRIVATE KEYS !!!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without it, you will not be able to access your wallet and your funds will be lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3: Deposit to CoinPoker<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When depositing and withdrawing crypto assets to CoinPoker, you can choose to do so with USDT, ETH, BTC or CHP. When it comes to deposits, CoinPoker aims to provide real-time global conversion rate and applies no fees, but slight discrepancies are possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>!!! DO NOT DEPOSIT TO COINPOKER STRAIGHT FROM KUCOIN OR OTHER EXCHANGES, TRANSFER FUNDS TO YOUR PERSONAL WALLET FIRST !!!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depositing straight from exchanges will not work! All deposits and withdrawals to and from your CoinPoker account have to come from\/to<strong> your personal crypto wallet<\/strong> (See Step 2) or your funds will be lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you make your first deposit, you will be asked to enter the address of your personal wallet you will send the funds from. This wallet will then be&nbsp;<strong>permanently assigned to your CoinPoker account<\/strong>, and you will only be able to deposit from there in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need to change your wallet address, you can do that by contacting us by email <a href=\"mailto:support@coinpoker.com\">support@coinpoker.com<\/a>. Our team will assist you with resetting your wallet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/coinpoker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/walletaddress-1-1200x701.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7907\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>You will also be asked to enter the amount you want to send. This helps us identify which account should be credited with the deposit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you enter the amount and the address of your wallet, hit the \u201cDeposit\u201d button and it will show you the address you need to send the funds to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/coinpoker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/unnamed-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7908\" width=\"675\" height=\"394\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the deposit section of the app (<strong>1<\/strong>) \u201cYour Wallet Address\u201d refers to the address of your personal crypto wallet (for example your MEW wallet, if that\u2019s what you\u2019re using) which you deposit from and withdraw to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While (<strong>2<\/strong>) \u201cWallet Address\u201c refers to CoinPoker\u2019s wallet address which you deposit to and withdraw from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having completed these steps, go to your personal wallet and send the funds. Your CoinPoker balance will be updated almost instantly if you deposit using USDT, ETH or CHP. BTC deposits might take up to several hours depending on blockchain network activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before hitting the tables, why not read our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/coinpoker.com\/help\/how-to-play-texas-holdem-poker\/\">Beginner\u2019s Guide to Playing Texas Hold\u2019Em Poker&nbsp;<\/a>or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/coinpoker.com\/help\/how-to-play-omaha-poker\/\">Beginner\u2019s Guide to Playing Omaha Hold\u2019Em Poker<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are here to celebrate poker and we are throwing a party!&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/coinpoker.com\/referral-program\">Invite your friends and receive 30%<\/a>&nbsp;of the fees that they pay.
