FULL REVIEW - ChiliPoker (7.82)

Due to U.S. legislation preventing credit card companies from collecting payments for wagers made by U.S. residents, ChiliPoker has determined to suspend all real-money gaming business in the United States.

ChiliPoker is one of the top poker rooms in the iPoker network and runs first-rate software developed by leading firm PlayTech. The network is now top five traffic-wise in the industry and offers countless high-value promotions, satellites and freerolls.

Games at ChiliPoker are still quite loose however, with lots of casino players and new recruits making their way to the poker room, and therefore it's a great place for skilled players to work their advantage.

ChiliPoker and the iPoker network have been very successful in building a strong base of active players - mostly in Europe as it does not accept U.S. players - and the software has an innovative and good-looking interface with colorful and attractive graphics that add to the appeal.

Functionality is intuitive and efficient for all the poker variations. Games offered include Texas Hold'em, Omaha Hi-Lo, Omaha Hi, Five-Card Stud Hi and Seven-Card Stud Hi. Ring games, heads-up tables, various sit-and-gos and multi-table tournaments are all available.

ChiliPoker also offers plenty of tournaments, satellites and freerolls with great value. The traffic volume overall is near the top of the industry and still growing. Real-money player statistics as of November 2009 show 10,000 ring-game players at peak hours, and 55,000 tournament players at peak hours.

Overall, ChiliPoker offers excellent action with great software, recently upgrading its list of features and introducing an exclusive credit card in collaboration with Mastercard that allows VIP players to spend their winnings directly online and offline.

A new stats feature available for all players also allows you to review the number of FPPs that you earn, your winnings and your losses, and the number of hands you have played, among other things.
