Yes. Somehow it never ceases to amaze me that reputable sites which make very decent money often take it upon themselves to make their own horribly amateur/crappy looking websites. Site owners who can't even type in complete sentences or spell expect you to trust them? You've got me. It makes them look unprofessional and almost scam-tacular, but because of online communities such as this one, I'd suspect it would be pretty hard to keep a cheat site going for any period of time successfully. If you're not sure, don't trade a majority of your stack to start off with. Give 'em a test.

playchipstore.com Scammer

Watch out for playchipstore.com, used the name PokerSetup33 (Atlanta) and his email linked to his paypal is Codymunger@gmail.com, he's a scammer. Said he was part of the bbb and is an affiliate with pokerstars (lies). His website went up June 1/08.

Maybe its some kind of underground currency lol :stupid:

you can legally play for real money (sort of) without depositing?

This has to be the craziest thing ive ever heard of, buying play money.

Not a myth, people do buy play money chips it's a pretty good way to start a bankroll as long as you know how to play. Much more effective than sitting through massive free rolls I think.


How does one build a bank roll with play money chips?

i have 100,000,000 million in play chips so that $1000 dollars thanks :)


Nice try... but you lie.

There are two reasons pokerstars playchips are worth more than all other sites.

1. They are PS everyone plays there.

2. They cap your playmoney bank at 20M.

But it can be done. As my signature says I stared my bankroll with 1M playchips (sold for 10 bucks). I have never deposited a nickel. :)


As to why people buy playchips (other than to SELL them)...

Why do people call all in with TPTK?

I've also done this, and it went smoothly. Its not the poker site buying the chips though, its probably some teenager who popped up a website, trying to peddle a little money. They have a thing to click on to talk to someone live and they tell you what table to go to, and who to send your chips to. You go sit down and send them all your play money, then they send you the real money.

I'm sure the poker sites dont care or they would do something about someone having 2 dozen tranfers an hour. They can obviously see whats going on, but are ok with it.

PokerStars is ok with people selling play chips as long as no discussion about the sale goes on at the tables. People are always skeptical about this when people post about it on here but if you can find a trustworthy site or person to trade with it is a good way to start a bankroll. The hard part is just getting the first million or so chips :p

I used to sell 100k for a dollar at a time. And i just googled some sites and they all say dollar per 100k or $10 per million. This seems like a much easier way to build a bankroll... Here we come Omaha H/L tables...

WE ARE CURRENTLY BUYING AT THE FOLLOWING RATES:
POKERSTARS ----- ULTIMATE BET --- FULL TILT ------ PARTY POKER
250K $2.50 ------- N/A ------------- N/A ------------ 20 CENTS PER MILLION.
500K $5.00 ------- N/A ------------- N/A
1 MILL $11.00 ---- 1 MILL $5.00 ---- 2 MILL $6.00
5 MILL $55.00 ---- 5 MILL $25.00 --- 5 MILL $15
10 MILL $120.00 - 10 MILL $50.00 -- 10 MILL$30

Seems as though PokerStars chips are far and away the most valuable, and PP are worth next to nothing, wonder why :questionm

Maybe because PP isn't available to US players :questionm

The highest stakes play money tournament you can get on Pokerstars has around 900,000 first prize for a sit n go. So you would have to win 13 of these for $120. Don't think this is going to be a gold mine. You could multitable some of these but surely playing real money is going to be more profitable for any skilled player.
I don't know what the skill level is at these high stakes of play money but I assume it must be much better than the lower stakes where people just play like they don't care. I've only played at play money very low stakes when I first started playing.

This response is for pokerchild. It is legit to sell chips as long as you don't bring it up at the tables (they don't want people soliciting from players while at tables). In fact, you can do it right through pokerstars as long as the person buying has a money account.

So far the other sites that sell them aren't taking new sellers. They either have enough or they only like to deal with people they have dealt with in the past. I'll just have to wait and hope I run across someone who wants to buy some lol.

A poker buddy of mine offered me $10 for a million but I didn't feel right accepting money from a friend so just gave them to her. People like her are the ones who buy them because they go through them so fast lol.

I checked this out there are alot off sites for buying and selling play money chips.I never sold any before but have had over 1 million at poker stars before I started playing for real money.I might go and try and see how long it takes to get 1 million play chips.I dont think it would take that long.Getting the first 100k would be the hard but after that shouldnt take long to get the rest.

wow, thought it was a myth. I do know a few sites have promotions where if you collect over 15million chips you will ge 10 dollars from the site. I am pretty sure pokerstars or fulltilt started that promotion when they first showed up online
