In my opinion there is a big elephant in the room here: internet poker is not legal in the US. It is not legal for poker sites and not legal for American citizens to play it. ACR and BOL are taking a chance accepting American players because they want our money, and as of right now are tolerated because their business is small enough for FBI to have more important things to do.

The reason these sites love bitcoin is not because they are posh or futuristic, but because they are a shady business, and bitcoin offers their transactions anonymity, and it is harder for the government to correctly estimate the total volume of their transactions.

Also, as a player, even if you consider bitcoin a scam ( I am not trying to debate that), you still should consider using it for poker deposits and withdrawals, because you also benefit from its anonymity. If for example you receive a tax audit by the IRS for some unrelated reason, the withdrawals from ACR will be addressed during the audit and they will provide leverage to the auditor because even if you payed your fair share of taxes on the poker revenue, you still have engaged in an illegal activity by playing internet poker.
