I don't know how that works out in terms of rakeback, but the heads-up rake seems high. I had played about 20 hands against this opponent by the time I took the screenshot.

I'd like to know if other heads-up cash game players feel comfortable playing with this rake; personally, I'm going to put things on hold until something is actually done about it. In my opinion-and I don't claim to be an expert on the subject-the rake is excessively high. I also believe it makes "reg battles" very difficult, especially for those who don't have private rakeback deals (assuming such things even exist).

Honestly, I think a site that is transparent about these kinds of matters and its relationship with players certainly gains more customers; I don't understand why poker sites are so quiet about issues that could actually attract more players and build loyalty. I played on an app that kept changing the rake, and often a good portion of the players didn't even realize it was happening; I'm seeing the same thing here. (I'm quitting heads-up play until things improve.)

I've been waiting nearly a month for a comprehensive review regarding several issues with my CoinPoker account-issues that support here already acknowledged would be addressed.

The main problem is that, at times when I'm winning, the money on the table doesn't fully transfer to my account; this happened again yesterday while I was grinding.

I received a refund of only around 156 USD and they admitted the problem existed-yet the process of doing what needs to be done is absurdly slow. Honestly, I could have tried to ruin the site's reputation, yet I kept playing-even putting in one of the highest volumes of play in my field.

If anyone asks if I recommend this site: I absolutely do not.

High rake

Extremely slow support

Total irresponsibility; these issues affect a player's mindset and obviously lead to frequent tilt.

I'm going to post a private response from support admitting the glitch exists and promising an audit that still hasn't been carried out.

The funniest part of all this is that I haven't seen a single other user complaining about even half the problems I've had 😃

Hi, I’m new to this forum but I created an account just to talk about the new CoinPoker software, because honestly I think it needs to be discussed.

I don’t know if anyone from CoinPoker will actually read this, but it’s worth trying.

I’ve been playing online poker for many years and, to be honest, it’s quite worrying that in 2026 we still have to point out so many basic issues. This isn’t even a new poker room, so I really don’t understand what happened with this migration. It feels like the only thing that needed to be done was improve a few things from the previous software, while keeping the essential features that were already there, instead of spending time and money on things that don’t really matter to players.

I mainly play cash games, so I can’t speak about other formats, but I imagine a lot of people are feeling a similar level of frustration.

I started playing on CoinPoker some time ago and, even though the old software looked a bit outdated and simple, it worked perfectly and had everything you needed (things that poker rooms have had for more than 20 years and that are now missing). When the migration was announced I was actually excited because CoinPoker seemed to be doing things right, and I assumed the new software would be a big improvement.

So far the only positives I see are that they added more game formats, removed rake through CHP, and the tables are now 6-max. But apart from that, even if it looks more modern on the surface, in practice it feels very poorly designed. It honestly gives the impression that the people who designed or programmed it have never played online poker before and simply tried to copy GG Poker. It also feels like very little effort was made to have actual players test the software before releasing it (at least for cash games).

I’ll mention some of the things that seem quite serious to me in terms of missing or badly implemented features. Some of these may have already been mentioned and I’m sure I’ll forget others, but here’s my list.

General / lobby issues

- If you close the app without logging out manually, when you open it again you’re automatically logged in. That’s pretty insecure. At the very least users should have the option to choose this.

- The fact that hand histories are not even being provided is honestly shocking (especially since they were before). They’re not only essential for studying your own game or reviewing opponents, but also for helping detect any kind of fraudulent activity.

- You can’t access table settings from the lobby (and the table settings themselves need a lot of improvement).

- That dropdown with winnings, leaderboards, career, etc. feels completely unnecessary. And the Showdown Meter… I’d rather not comment on the fact that development time was spent on that.

- PokerIntel seems like it was made with good intentions and it’s currently the only thing available to review anything, but it definitely needs improvement. For example, the EV chart only lets me scroll up to 999 hands.

- The table list is honestly terrible. You can’t see table names (so how am I supposed to know which table I was playing on or which one I opened?), you can’t filter regular tables which are the most commonly played ones, and it shows avg stack which is not very useful instead of more relevant stats like % players/flop or avg pot. It would also help to be able to sort tables somehow. And you can’t join a waiting list from the lobby either.

At the table / in-game

- No auto wait for BB.

- No sit out / leave next BB option.

- The notes popup works very poorly. You can’t properly delete characters and sometimes it deletes everything at once.

- When raising postflop the only buttons available are 2x, 3x and 4x... It should be based on % of the pot or at least be configurable.

- The HUD is actually an improvement, but it doesn’t show the number of hands played and it probably mixes data from HU tables, which makes the stats unreliable.

- Those notifications when you win a big pot or a strong hand should be optional and removable.

- When you join a waiting list, the software asks for your buy-in immediately, when it should only do that once a seat is actually available. What if you no longer want to play that table? It doesn’t make sense that it seats you automatically without even notifying you properly.

Finally, I’d also like to mention the CHP that players had before the migration. In my case I have around 8k CHP, which isn’t much, but I imagine some players have significantly more. The fact that we can’t convert them until April feels a bit strange, especially considering the coin has been losing value in recent days. Everyone can draw their own conclusions from that.

It would also be good to get some clarification about HUDs. A year ago they were allowed, so it wouldn’t make much sense to ban them again now. The only major site that really bans HUDs is GG, and even there it’s widely known that people still use them anyway.

Anyway, I really hope CoinPoker takes player feedback seriously because the room still has a lot of potential. But right now it honestly feels like the software has taken a step backwards in several basic areas that should already be standard in any poker client....

I dislike this new app so much that I am looking for another room to play on. Many flaws have been mentioned, so I will try to pinpoint unmentioned ones:

- Too much clutter on tables with all the animations (had to repeat myself with everyone else on this).
- Cash game table filter is non existant. I hate when it says 5/6 players. but once you press to enter, there's no room.
- Bet button customization is very limited, cannot go above 8x for 3Bettting for example.
- Cards are too big and block avatar. Its difficult to identify a person. Also no custom avatars allowed.
- Software drains PC recourses like crazy.

Can't stress enough how CoinPoker messed this up. Went from a nice minimalistic UI and easy to understand system, to some ding dong casino bullshit......

I am pretty sure this new software will backfire very soon. There may be an increase due to curious players now, but many regs I know are irritated, some even stopped playing on CP.

- I was using a decent Mini-PC for the old Coinpoker. The new version eats RAM, CPU, GPU power massivly what makes it almost impossible to play. 4 tables can already lead to 100% CPU. Crazy.
- I had a certain routine of playing sats and tourneys for months now. Most of them are just gone.
- To register you need to open the lobby first (extremely slow). No direct reg possible.
- New design is a visual overload and it's painful and exhausting to follow the action, bets etc. Multi tabling and fast decision making is close to impossible like that.
- Table fonts are bad to read, names too big, cards and avatar too big, bets too small, dealer button same color as red chips....

This is just a first impression after not even playing extensively. ...
