How to qualify online for the Irish Poker Festival

CoinPoker is the world’s number one Crypto-based poker platform, leading the new frontier of online gaming. They’re our exclusive partners for the Irish Poker Festival.

To win your package, including 5 nights stay in the world-class Intercontinental Hotel, just follow the steps below.

1. Download the CoinPoker app for Windows, Mac or Android (it is currently not available on iPhone or iPad) from the following link: https://coinpoker.com/download/

2. Create an account, confirm your identity with a verification code sent to your e-mail and phone number, and open the CoinPoker welcome page.

3. In the top right corner, you’ll see your account balance (0.00 USDT and 0.00 CHP1). Click on this and you’ll get to the Deposit page.

We can leave CoinPoker for now and buy some crypto currency!

4. To deposit into your CoinPoker account, you’ll need to set up a crypto wallet and buy some crypto for it.

CoinPoker allows you to deposit with almost any crypto currencies, so if you already own tokens like Bitcoin or Ethereum you can deposit directly from your existing wallet! CoinPoker will exchange this for Tether on their end.
But starting from scratch, we bought the MATIC currency on the Polygon network. This is what CoinPoker recommends for small transactions, it’s high speed with low transaction costs.

5. We used the MetaMask service, which provides their customers with both a wallet and a purchasing gateway. There are many other crypto exchanges and wallets available if you want to shop around, but MetaMask is the simplest one we tried.
Download the MetaMask app here. We’ve used the browser plug-in, but it is also available for Android and iOS. Follow the steps to create an account2. There should now be a little fox in the top right corner of your browser. Say hello to him, you’ll become good friends!

6. Now you have a MetaMask account, you’ll need to move to the Polygon Mainnet network. In MetaMask click the button in the top left and then click add network at the bottom of the screen. Choose Polygon Mainnet from the list of options.

7. Now click the Buy & Sell button, which will take you to a new site. Click get started and follow the steps laid out. Metamask will offer you quotes from various services based on market valuation and the amount that you want to buy. Pick a service and then follow the instructions on their site. Within a few minutes you should own some crypto currency. Congratulations! Tell every Tinder date about it, they’ll be really interested!

8. To deposit this on CoinPoker you’ll need to find your Wallet address. This is the long string of letters and numbers, starting with 0x at the top of the MetaMask plugin below your account. Copy this and get ready to paste it.

9. Now return to the deposit page on CoinPoker from step 3. Select MATIC from the currency drop list and paste in your Wallet address from step 8. Now copy the unique wallet that was generated for you by CoinPoker.

10. Back in MetaMask, click Send. Copy the CoinPoker wallet and enter in the amount of MATIC you want to send to your account. NB: Make sure that you leave a little bit of MATIC in your account to cover the transaction fee.

11. Within a couple of minutes, the funds will be waiting for you in your CoinPoker account, you can now explore the CoinPoker site and play our daily satellites to win your package! We’ll see you in the Intercontinental!

For further deposits: The wallet address that you’ve used here will automatically become associated with your CoinPoker account, meaning that any transfers from here on out will be much easier. You’ll only need to repeat step 10. If you want to associate a new wallet with your CoinPoker account, you can do this by contacting CoinPoker customer services.

Do you still need a hand? Did you skip to the end because this all seemed too complicated? No problem at all!

¹ These are the two coins that the CoinPoker system uses. Tether (represented as ₮, USD₮ or just USDT) is a coin who’s value is tied to the US Dollar. CHP is CoinPoker’s own crypto token.

² Unlike other accounts you’ll have online, MetaMask’s security settings are decentralised so you won’t be able to recover your account through the usual means. Make sure to use a secure password you’ll remember.
