Would You Buy Play Chips?

[RENEY444]

Play chips are great when you first start playing , but not to buy . If your are going to make a monetary investment on chips than why not start a bankroll ?

I would never buy play chips=now back in the day on poker stars I sold a lot of the I think the exchange rate was a million p-chips for 10 bucks,im sure I did that at least 5 times

That is what I was going to say. lol I have sold more than a few million on Stars. I saw where they are having a huge sale on them now. 4.99 for a million and they give you another million the next day.
I tried playing with play chips on Stars a few years ago and I am sure I couldn't because they knew you could sell them. I played on there a couple of weeks ago.
The thing I like about play chips is that in the big buy ins, the play is really good, not a bunch of all inners.

I wouldn't buy them, not when we get 12,500 for free every so often. I find I have more luck when using play chips, and I do like to use them in the online casino too

If you want to give up gambling with real money but enjoy the process of gambling in itself especially the social aspect of high stakes play money poker where the community is quite tight-knit, then sure go ahead and buy it!

As for training, I believe that training should be that if you can't grind your way out of play-chip poverty then you would be wasting the cash in the first place.

Absolutely not!! Why spend $200 on play chips when you could just deposit it get whatever deposit promo is going on and start playing either tournaments or cash games and build your bankroll. I'ma you can still look at it like practice if you want... I mean that is the whole purpose of play chips isn't it??

 

[paulsmall007]

you can just get more free money if you ever bust, why would you not just play for free. crazy concept

 

[mr_poker]

I think this is not necessary.

 

[demibar]

i was playing on Zynga before some years ,back then i was thinking to buy chips but i never did ,so i guess beginners who don't play real money might need that.

 

[ankitantil]

Lol nice joke. Even stupid dont buy play chips

I use play chips for home games, mainly CardsChat League and Monthly Events, the minimum buy in these days is 20k play chips, you can get 12,500 play chips every four hours, I top them up as often as I remember and have amassed over 4 million so far, have a feeling one day Stars will try to make us buy play chips.

I saw this article earlier today where it says you can now buy play money chips at PokerStars! There's an option to spend $200 to receive 165 Million play money chips!

I'm fortunate enough to be in a country where I can play on any online poker site for real money, but even if I wasn't I don't think I would pay for play money chips. What's the point?

Are Stars trying to create a sub-currency like bitcoin?

We can use also the play money in cardschat events..home games and other purpose is to practice to develop your skills and familiarize the pokerstars playing system lol..

i don t play for play money ,

 

[zsoltyx2]

it seems to me that there's no point

 

[Serjo600]

I play for fun money only for create bi on hg ps tournaments

 

[Alex Kim27]

I will never spend money on buying conditional chips. it does not make any sense. Of course, who is very rich can think differently.

 

[zavvt]

no

 

[GRIN281289]

It is a waste of money

 

[vov4ik]

No I will not buy gaming chips, I'd rather continue to play for real money, when I'm playing for money in games and win money is profit in a bankroll, but from gaming chips there's no use!

 

[Syltan]

Just pokerstars no longer knows how to deflate money from stupid people, I doubt that a reasonable person will spend real money to buy a conditional!

 

[evildoesit2003]

I dont think so unless it was for a tourney with real money for prizes.

Australia Bans Real Money

With Australia banning real money pokerstars, won't this open the play money market into a faux currency?

Will Pokerstars start buying back chips as an option to circumvent newly passed Australian law?

The whole banning of overseas based gambling companies is ridiculous, considering we have over 10 App based betting agencies..

 

[zwbb]

what is the point in these chips? by the way, they are issued free of charge.

 

[Vlad symrak]

All rules have an exception.There are people who do it!

 

[bra01]

It is a waste of money ,you can get play chips for free on PS

 

[gertjan]
