Nitrogen Sports is headquartered in San Jose, Costa Rica, similar to many offshore gambling sites that operate around the world. It isn't clear whether NitrogenSports holds an active gaming license, but their Terms and Conditions state that any claim shall be governed by the laws of Costa Rica.

The games at Nitrogen Sports Poker are entirely anonymous, and grinders don't need to give any personal data to the poker room when creating a new account.

The Nitrogen Sports core business is the casino and sportsbook, and poker is just a side offer that remains small, but that highly beneficiates by many gamblers that visit the poker games after winning a bet.

NitrogenSports rake and rakeback

NitrogenSports uses a "No Flop — No Drop" policy. The rake is 4% with different caps per stake:

Loyalty program

The VIP program has 5 monthly tiers:

For every 1mBTC paid in rake, grinders get 2.5 Loyalty Points. Such points can be exchanged in the Nitro Store for Free Bets Coupons or Real Money Bonuses. The biggest poker bonus is 3200mBTC in cash for 40,000 Nitro.

In general, the Nitro Rewards rakeback program gives from 10% to 50% cashback.

A Free Bet Coupon worth 2,000mBTC can be bought by 12,000 Nitro, which could be understood as a >100% rakeback, but the catch is that the coupon can be used only in the sportsbook.

Games and traffic

The NLH and PLO games in NitrogenSports Poker are played in mBTC (1,000 mBTC = 1BTC). During American peak time, up to 40 tables could be spotted in the lobby.

There are other formats offered in Nitrogen Sports poker like Crazy Hold'em, FL Hold'em, and 6+, but the games are occasional at low stakes.

The games are incredibly soft as most of the players are US gamblers from the sportsbook.

The MTT grid is composed of daily events with buy-ins from 0,6mBTC up to 5mBTC and guaranteed prize pools up to 50mBTC. Almost all games are played in NLH, although the schedule includes Pineapple, Omaha, and 6+ Hold'em tournaments.

On weekends the guaranteed prize pools boost to 100mBTC (Saturday), and Main Event is the Nitro Blast 500mBTC GTD that features a 25mBTC buy-in.

In the center of the HTML5 client, a big red "Play Poker" button gives access to the lobby (you can choose either to open it in the same window or open a new one).

The client is designed in black tones, and the lobby is divided into Cash Games and Tournaments. Players can choose either a quick seat or check out all active tables. The quick seating feature asks players for a game format and stake.

Nitrogen Sports Poker offers a "Poker Pro Table Mode," which allows grinders to open many games at once in independent windows, making those resizable and comfortably for multitabling.

The design is simple, and it doesn't have any customization options, besides enabling auto re-buy at cash games. Players can take notes on villains.
