Question

OOOHYEA69 · #1 11-27-05, 11:37 AM

I have a question hopefully someone may have an answer to. I am fairly new to real money poker and am having a good time with it so far. I have been playing on Pokerstars Play Money for several months and have maxed out in chips several times only to give millions away so I can play again. I got to thinking however that I could sell all these play money chips to enhance my real money bankroll. Are there any sites where you can sell pokerstars play chips? I don't want to annoy people by asking on pokerstars site as those that have annoyed me are doing. I would appreciate your responses.

that is how i started out playing poker as well - selling playchips- dont sell to any of the sites- most are scams which is pathetic - but i know a guy who buys them and he is 100% reliable and legit.

I hate to ask, but seriously?

JDMcNugent7 · #5 11-27-05, 01:47 PM

ya- wuts wrong with that? - i was 16 - had no way of depositing - never made a deposit and cashed out 3.5k from $ made from selling playchips.
So I'm sure glad I did it and dont see anything wrong with it- not that i would do it anymore - but for ppl who have never played real money - i think its actually a pretty good way to learn.

I think the real question is who the hell would buy play chips

JDMcNugent7 · #7 11-27-05, 02:27 PM

now that - i dont understand. wut this guy does with them is unknown to me - but he will buy millions at a time - i guess he re-sells them for more ? but then what that guy does with them? i dn. makes no sense to me.

i was talking to this guy on pokerstars while playing, he said that people sell chips on ebay. but you have to have an ebay account, and it goes around 15 bucks for a million chips. i think its better doing that than getting scammed while trying to sell it on pokerstars.

PS: its one of pokerstars' rules that selling chips is not allowed, so if they know about it youre in trouble

Who the hell buys play chips?

HEwong · #10 11-27-05, 03:27 PM

alot of people do...cuz it benifits both side.. the people who get bad beats can tilt in play moeny cheap.. the people who play play money all want real moeny so they sell play chips the sellers buy a mil for about 13$ and resell it for 25$

Ando05 · #11 11-27-05, 03:27 PM

people that wanna play poker, but dont wanna lose real money go and play the fake money, just for fun. and i am guessing they have a lot in their account so thats why they spend money on fake chips.
i never did it, and i am not looking toward buying play chips, i think the idea is stupid.

They're pretty tough on this bullshit.

I've heard of Play Money accounts being closed and millions of play chips seized!

Look out!

Pokerstars is clear on their policy about soliciting to sell play chips as far as their rules state. However, in some recent comunication with them via email for something mildly related to selling on their site they told me that they have no firm rule that prohibits someone from selling play chips on their site. Now I for one would never spend cash to buy play chips, but there are many people who do. I have a couple of guys I play cards with that live near me that have made hundreds of dollars selling their play chips which made me even think about this. I'm not trying to take up space with this thing nor am I trying to get an arguement started. I was just curious if anyone knew someone or a site that would buy them. Since asking about this and searching this out on yahoo, I have come to find literally 20 or 30 sites that do this. I know it's crazy, but hell it's their money.

nflchad · #14 11-27-05, 04:28 PM

Okay so instead of playing 5-10 play money, people decide to play 2MIL-4MIL or whatever the hell the highest limit is. Maybe I'm way off here but can't you reload your play money chips, uhh for free. I just honestly can't understand why in the flying fuck any one would be so retarded as to purchase fake poker chips. I would feel slightly bad selling them to these obviously mentally ill people.

Ando05 · #15 11-27-05, 04:33 PM

well when you refill, you get only 1,000 in play chips, people that buy it from you go to the high stakes tables and play 40K or fold, i played it a couple of times and its really fun. but i prefer builing my fake chips in a couple of days to couple hundred grand, rather than spending real money and playing right at that moment.

PS: again those people are loaded, so they dont care about spending a couple of bucks for fake money.

OOOHYEA69 · #16 11-27-05, 06:53 PM

I know these people are whacked out but I just got $130 for selling 10 million play chips so psycho or not it's still $130.

X-Longshot-X · #17 11-27-05, 08:03 PM

I once asked a man who was buying play money chips why he bought them, his response was that you dont have to worry about losing when u buy them........all i could think to do from here was laugh.....lol

OOOHYEA69 · #18 11-27-05, 09:17 PM

He actually said that? OMG! Well any way I have already increased my bank some today so I'm liking that. With some practice I may be able to do some good in Vegas when I'm there in April. That or lose my ass and get extremely drunk.

HEwong · #19 11-27-05, 09:31 PM

well.... All i know is that buying play chips is stupid and anyone who does is.. gut then again noone who is selling there chips are complaining .. cuz they beniit from it.

jaeh00d · #20 11-28-05, 07:22 PM

how is it you go about selling these chips? how is it you would trasfer it from your account to someone elses. I have several million play chips i would not mind getting rid of myself. let me know...please

rookette22 · #21 11-28-05, 10:13 PM

hmm how much u want for them ......give me a price for them and i'll take them off your hands for u ... lol

no seriously if you're interested in selling let me know the price ....pm me with details ok...

and never ever do business on tables....they revoked my chat once and took away close to 13mill in play chips ....

rookette22 · #22 11-28-05, 10:15 PM

hmm not if you buy and sell at the right price .....

Ando05 · #23 11-28-05, 10:54 PM

pokerstars once warned me that they will revoke my chat if they find out i am ever selling chips. i neved did it again of course, but i was just wondering, how long do they revoke your chat.

rookette22 · #24 11-28-05, 11:52 PM

1 month....was the worse month ever i'll tell you that much

Zybomb · #25 11-28-05, 11:57 PM

I just cant imagine why anyone would be willing to shell out even 1 real dollar for any amount of these play chips? It doesnt make sense.... can someone enlighten me?
