I know that winpoker is not a hoax/scam for sure. I am interested in how bitcoin is gaining traction as anonymous currency but more interested about when it will get regulated.
iPoker is a scam web site according to reviews on Poker Scout. Association of this with bitcoin only highlights the buyer-beware atmosphere at this very early stage of bitcoin commerce and entertainment.
This is perhaps an inflection point for bitcoin. It's one thing to have bitcoin-only gambling, but to be in a large poker network with real money involved is a big step forward.
If any other poker sites follow it could be an actual use case for bitcoin and drive adoption into other areas.
