About Black Chip Poker
We found that Black Chip Poker has been around since 2008 and was doing just fine for the first four years of its existence, rapidly making a name for itself as a reliable poker room with plenty of options in terms of payments, the types of online poker you can play, the format of tournaments and the stakes you’re playing for, while boasting some good bonuses and other rewards.
But a key date for them was December 2012, the month they moved from the decent but somewhat limited Merge Network to the Winning Poker Network. This has allowed it to enjoy what is the poker equivalent of an economy of scale.
We think this is great as it means that players at Black Chip Poker could be sitting at the same table as those who have accounts at some of Canada’s other biggest poker sites, meaning you’re never in a position where you can’t get a game.
It also meant that players could benefit from faster payouts and an improved level of customer service. Add in a fine welcome bonus, lucrative rake-back offers, and a few other benefits and you’ve got yourself a seriously good place to hit the tables. Despite that, we were disappointed that their software is only available for Windows devices at present.
For good measure, players at Black Chip Poker can also place bets on sports and in three different online casino sites (one for online slots, one for table games, and one live casino). The account is the same, but the wallets are separate, though you can easily transfer money from one wallet to another.
