Chili Poker Introduction

Chili Poker was established in 2004 by a group of Swedish poker players looking to perfect the online poker experience. The initial independent site was only marginally successful, but it was not until they joined with the iPoker Network that Chili Poker really took off. It is still one of the smaller skins on the iPoker Network, but it is certainly an up and coming site. Of course, as is the case with all iPoker Network skins, American players are forbidden from playing at the site.

The game selection at Chili Poker is not the most diverse, but there are still enough games to keep you entertained, including: Texas holdem, Omaha hi, Omaha hi lo, 7 card stud, and 7 card stud hi lo. The games are available in a wide variety of stakes, starting from the bottom at $0.01/$0.02 and ranging up to $300/$600 at the top.

Since U.S. players are not allowed and the site is still fairly small, the competition at Chili Poker is pretty easy. You will still run into tough regulars from time to time, especially as you move up in stakes, but you should not have too much trouble locating the fish. Chili Poker is also associated with an online casino, so you can expect to run in to a few inexperienced gamblers who have wandered over from the slots.

The software at Chili Poker is definitely one of its strong points. Powered by Playtech, Chili Poker offers a stable and reliable poker client. It is simple and clean, making it easy for players to find and join games; you can even designate certain games and tournaments in a ‘My Favorites’ tab so that you are not constantly adjusting filters and searching through the lobby.

The Chili Poker software is available for download in both Mac and Windows formats. One unique aspect of the software is Chili Connect, which gives players the ability to share results on social media sites, create sidebars with other players, and even buy a piece of another players action in tournaments.

Chili Poker Promotions

The promotion that will have the most impact during your time at Chili Poker is the VIP Club. Whenever you play in real money tournaments, cash games, and even casino games, you will receive Frequent Player Points. The number of points you earn in a single month will then determine your VIP status. You will earn between 3.5 and 6 points per $1 in rake at cash games and between 15 and 30 points per $1 in tournament fees, depending on your VIP status. You can also use your Frequent Player Points to purchase merchandise and tournament packages from the Hot Shop rewards store. Items such as mp3 players, televisions, poker sets, and clothing are all available for purchase. The only thing disappointing about the Chili Poker rewards poker is the lack of cash bonuses available for purchase in the Hot Shop. There are several other exciting promotions at Chili Poker, like the Bad Beat Jackpot and sit & go jackpots. As the name implies, if you take a particularly bad beat, you can win up to $500. The sit & go jackpots offer players an award worth thousands of dollars for winning a certain number of sit & go tournaments in a row. Many of the other promotions will change at different times of the year, but there will always be at least an additional 2 or 3 running at any given time.

Chili Poker Bonuses

Everyone wants to get free money, which is why initial deposit bonuses at poker sites are such a good marketing tool. At Chili Poker, you can choose between four different sign up bonuses. These start at a $100 bonus with a minimum deposit of $20 and top out at a 150 % match up to $1,000, with two other intermediate choices. Obviously you will have to work for your bonuses by earning a certain amount of poker points, depending on the size of your bonus.

You can also earn additional money by referring your friends. For every player who signs up through your referral, you will earn up to $40. The first $10 will be credited immediately to your account, while the other $30 will be awarded to you once your friend has earned 800 poker points.
