IDN Poker is Asia's largest online poker network and the second-largest global network after Amaya's major brand Poker stars. IDN Poker covers a vast and fast-growing market in Asian countries and has surpassed many mainstream networks that dominate the online poker environment over the years. Therefore, according to the well-known website Pokerscout.com, the new Asian boom suddenly made the IDN poker network second in the ranking of online poker traffic. This data shows the updated traffic based on the data provided by the network.

IDN Poker is the largest poker site most people don't know. It happens to be among one of the largest websites in the world. Its vast scale is mainly because IDN Poker's network contains hundreds of member sites or skins. The largest of these sites is Shen Poker. The network was opened in Indonesia in 2011. As of 2020, the company is headquartered in Manila, Philippines. Since IDN Poker only provides services to Asian countries/regions, the western world feels mostly left out about the website.

In fact, its scope of influence is limited to the following countries:

• China
• Indonesia
• Malaysia
• Philippines
• Thailand
• Vietnam

IDN Poker Play Options

A significant feature of IDN Poker products is its rich selection of games. The available games range from the staple food of each site to more regional options. For example, the website offers a Chinese poker variant called Capsa Susun. There are as well two other domino games known as Q-Kick and Ceme in the foyer. According to reports, these games attract only less traffic than their traditional poker games. According to Poker scout's figures, this means that there are around 5,000 local variant players 24 hours a day.

Other available playing options (managed via IDN Sports) include:

• Sports betting
• Live casino
• RNG games
• Lottery

The website is mobile-friendly, can host competitions, and provide real-time updated jackpots. The eight deposit methods include U.S. dollars.

Is IDN Poker the real deal?

Yes. Although the website cannot contest with Poker Stars traffic, no one else can compete with IDN Poker. Its main flow has always stayed at the low end of the currency level, sometimes lower than that of blind people in other countries. However, its special programming makes it very difficult to compete from Western countries. Players must submit account information, which includes all bank information from the list of approved banks, all of which are located in Asia.
