Support
Currently, the only support function available is via email. Their response time is fairly quick but a bit lacking when it comes to addressing more detailed questions. The website www.pokerchamps.com is very informative and covers most important topics. In fact, when we tested the support function PokerChamps themselves went back to their website for answers!
Full Review
PokerChamps is a fresh and futuristic poker room designed with the serious poker player in mind. PokerChamps is the brainchild of Gus Hansen, the Danish player who has succeeded in winning the World Poker Tour four times, and the Swedish online poker-wiz Erik Sagstrom (known as Erik123 in the online community). PokerChamps is a new room and, while it does not yet have a lot of player traffic, it has the potential to become one of the most frequented playing sites. They are still working independently and are not yet part of a poker room network. The games are soft and loose and the biggest marketing scheme is the CashFlow bonus program, where you as a player receive cash on a weekly basis. Instead of giving players points and various awards like other poker rooms, PokerChamps makes their players part of a rake-back scheme: The more you play, the larger the percentage of your weekly rake that will be paid back to you (between 5%-50% rake-back). The downside is that you have to start from scratch every week and it is very hard to reach the 50% level.
Real money player statistics - Feb, 2006: 300-400 ring game players during peak hours and 500-600 tournament players during peak hours.

Soft Competition
The traffic is at its greatest at the micro-limits and the games vary from loose to very loose, often with a 'viewed flop percentage' reaching upwards of 50% to 80%. This translates to very juicy and loose games for the small stakes player. You can normally find great Hold'em games up to the $5-$10 limits and for No-Limit up to $1-$2.
