@Anachromette@RTHM_Health Yep and this adrenaline ans cortisol totally messes up my sleep. Will fall asleep 2-3h later ja wake up 1-2 hours earlier. No matter what supplements I take to counter this.

Coin definitely has genuine advantages — crypto withdrawals, promos, UX, etc.
I just think player pool, rakeback and overall ecosystem matter too.
It’s probably less “25-year brand loyalty vs the future” and more about what actually matters to each player. 🙂

On the softer-games argument:
I play NL100–NL200 on Stars, and it’s not unusual to have 2–3 very big recs at a table.
I also have a CoinPoker account and have played there, but I personally haven’t seen anything close to the same number of big recs.

Stars offers up to 60% rakeback, plus additional rewards where you can win tournament tickets.
So the meaningful comparison is net rake after rewards, not just the headline rake.
@firenkes 2/5
On rake, I wouldn’t say Coin is “twice as expensive”, but the difference is meaningful:
NL100: $6.73 vs $8.04/100 → ~19.5% more
NL200: $10.46 vs $12.19 → ~16.5% more
Coin also has higher caps.
