The poker software analysis tool, Hold’em Manager, and a series of Hold’em Manager 2 apps, are now available to buy, using Bitcoin, after the company set up a Bitcoin transaction method in their online store.
Whether you want to purchase apps on Apple’s app store, book an inter-galactic flight on Virgin Galactic, or buy yourself a pair of stockings and suspenders from Victoria Secret, you can do so buy using Bitcoin.
The value of the cryptocurrency may be continuing to drop (at the time of writing one Bitcoin is worth around $230. It once exceeded $1,000) but that hasn’t stopped some of the largest companies in the world giving customers the opportunity to purchase products using the cyber stuff.
The poker industry has also gotten into the act. And whilst we are used to discussion centered on Bitcoin online poker rooms, it’s refreshing to now hear that poker software companies like Max Value Software has also thrown their hat into the ring.
Max Value Software is the parent company of Hold’em Manager and PokerTracker – the two premier online poker analysis software products, and over the weekend, Hold’em Manager posted news on their forum that they are to allow customers to use Bitcoin to buy Hold’em Manager 2 (HEM2) and a series of non-subscription based HEM Apps.
The adoption of cryptocurrency now means there are six ways to purchase HEM products: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, PayPal, Neteller and now Bitcoin.
HEM products: NoteCaddy Premium, Leak Buster 4.0, SitNGo Wizard 2, Tilt Scanner, and most of the Table Scanner 2 services can all be obtained using Bitcoin. TableNinja II and Table Scanner 2’s Insta-Scan service is still off limits, according to PokerSoftware.com.
PokerSoftware.com were also keen to point out that PokerTracker 4 would also be added to the Bitcoin list very shortly.
