Added Value In CoinPoker CSOP Tournaments
With a buy-in of 500 USDT for the CSOP main event, the 30 participants have contributed only 15,000 USDT to the prize pool, indicating that CoinPoker is providing an overlay of 85,000 USDT, making it a lucrative opportunity for amateur players.
In the final moments leading up to the tournament, it is anticipated that more players will join to capitalize on this added value.
This event also allows for rebuys, with a late registration window of two hours and ten minutes.

Overall, it is expected that there will still be an overlay.
Although CoinPoker has not yet reached the player base of poker platforms that accept both fiat and crypto deposits, such as BetOnline or Bovada, it is experiencing rapid growth and has established a solid reputation as the leading 100% crypto-native poker site since its inception in 2017.
This week, Business Insider featured CoinPoker’s CSOP event, its recent fee reductions, and celebrity poker ambassador Tony G.

While the winner of the main event will receive 37,000 USDT, there are also higher buy-in tournaments available, along with a CSOP leaderboard and cash games.
