[Chico Network] BetOnline, Tiger, etc.: Unofficial Discussion Thread

Shoutout to Premmi, the worst reg in the history of any online poker site.

Would be nice to see rake lowered to tolerable levels to enable a lot more games to run beyond when a rec sits

Does anyone know if the happy hour promotion I saw yesterday from 8pm to 10pm ET is a constant or just a one-time promotion?
I am not seeing it today.
Or maybe it's targeted at certain players only?

The state of the games is actually very good lately, at least for PLO, I can't speak for other games. There has been an influx of recs - and not just the passive ones, the horribly, spewey ones that allow you to win way above what you should be able to. These players generally prefer to join a game that is already going. I would encourage you to try to start a few more games. There are too many players on the site unwilling to do so and I think it's almost as big of a problem as the rake.

I know there is no rep here anymore unfortunately (Chris was great and helpful) so this probably won't get to those whom it may concern
But am I the only one that thinks the MTT schedule as it is, especially in terms of starting times, makes no sense at all?
I am a EU player with a dayjob so it does make sense I have little good action except on weekends
However filtering for $2-$22s for example - why does 3-5am (depending on timezone) USA have a better schedule than afternoon EU (which is like 9-11am USA)? This just makes absolutely no sense. It seems like Chico didn't realize even by now there is a substantial amount of european players playing on their network too by now.

EDIT: Actually nevermind, this was always my thought that I never posted. Now I just had another look at a filtered lobby and they just replaced everything with their overraked Mystery Bounties. They always used to have a good schedule of small GDT MTTs, but seems like Mystery Bounties will take over

Yeah they had a pretty good schedule before the mystery bounties. Mystery bounties ****in suck

I just started playing Chico again recently. I cant remember if there is rakeback or even if I'm "signed up" for the rewards program. Can somebody point me to a raketracker or pointstracker? Thanks in advance.

There is no in house rakeback. You can only get rakeback if you signed up through an affiliate.

Occasionally they run promotions where you have to opt in using the bday present looking symbol.

Question on BTC payouts. Can you withdraw directly to Coinbase without getting in trouble with them? I know you couldn't do that with bovada, ignition, or global. A rep said that many players do however they aren't liable should Coinbase choose to take action against your account.

As has always been preached when this question comes up: Use an intermediary wallet like Blockchain or something. DO NOT deposit or withdraw directly from or to Coinbase.

Crypto receive/send addresses are anonymous unless you tell them where it was from.

what is $5GB ?

50-200NL is the most traffic. If you are mixing stakes you should be able to get 6 or so tables almost 24/7.

+1

Looking to sign up with bol

To my knowledge there is no rakeback for this site

They just have rewards and bonuses

There is rakeback if you sign up through an affiliate. If a player already has an account on one skin they would be eligible to sign up on the alternating skin and receive rakeback.

5 USD in Game Bonus which is to play cash game.

It seems like 50NL is that line, yeah (where pools run 24/7). On most sites.

Do any of you guys have a link to the current chico rake paid by stakes? Every Google link seems to have out of date charts. It's like 6% or 7% per pot at least at 10 nl.

It's nice that they are doing these rake promos right now at the very least, but it would be nice to receive direct rakeback to your account.

For Betonline NL, it is about 5.56% https://help.betonline.ag/articles/poker...

Thank you.

Do they accept players living in thailand?

Yup
