Game
variations range from Texas Holdem,
Omaha, Omaha Hi Lo, 7 Card Stud
and of course 7 Card Stud Hi Lo.
Each of these games is available
in stakes as low as $0.10/$0.20
and increasing up to $50/$100
in their respective limits. Although
ChanPoker does not allow USA players
they still have a large enough
player base to keep most limits
active, even during odd hours
of the day. The poker room is
predominantly filled with Texas
Holdem players; however we still
found plenty of Omaha action in
both Hi and Hi Lo. Chan Poker
takes a 5% rake from each pot
with a cap fixed at $3 per hand.
Tournaments
Tournament players will find
more games scheduled daily then
you would be able to enter. Chan
Poker’s tournament lobby
is packed with freezeouts, re-buys,
guarantees and even seats to some
of Europe’s leading events.
During peak hours you will find
more than 20,000 players online,
which is due to the attached network,
thus providing a great level of
competition in most games. Tournament
buy-ins start as low as $1 and
increase up to a couple hundred,
although most games can be entered
through qualifiers. Recently the
poker room added a new loyalty
program which provides players
with exclusive tournaments based
on the level they are in with
the program. Sit and Go tournaments
are available as are daily freerolls
with $50 prize pools. The biggest
games that seem to attract large
numbers of players is the weekly
$100,000 guarantee, the $50,000
special GP and of course the Euro
GP.
Chan
Poker Software
ChanPoker utilizes software from
the OnGame Network, who is one
of the largest poker networks
online. The poker room features
lightening fast sped, clean graphics
and very easy navigation. Once
you have downloaded the software
you will notice that the lobby
is a lot simpler than most poker
rooms. Each of the games is categorized
for you and all of your options
are clearly marked. Table statistics
are provided individually and
players will need to click each
game to view these in the side
window. The tournament lobby features
a few chat rooms. Players can
chat with each other in the main
lobby and in each game lobby.
This is a very cool feature because
if you should ever need support
you can easily ask for support
in the chat windows and support
will be made available to you.
When seated at the tables we noticed
that the game is much faster than
other rooms. Players will have
less time to make decisions, so
you won’t experience any
60 second delays and the poker
room offers pre-set betting options
to keep the game progressing.
Players who multi-table can do
so, however there is no re-sizing
tools available for you. You will
need to play each of the games
in full screen.
Customer Support
As of right now, ChanPoker
only provides support via email
and you can expect fast and
efficient response time. We
do expect to see more options
made available in the future.
