First!!!

But seriously, great skin with good customer support

sweet, this thread was long overdue.

this.

i'll kick off the suggestions for the software:

pls add some sort of sit out all tables button or sit out all tables next BB.

Thanks for the suggestion, if that's not covered in our next release (V6.0 due out next month) we'll put it to merge.

While I'm on that topic, we'll be posting photos and information about the upcoming improvements to the BlackChip Poker client to our facebook page over the next month. Take a look here.

Ive been offered a 500% first deposit bonus of up to $2000 is this legit ?

Sorry if I missed it but when is this tourney in Punta Cana?

It's taking a long time for my account to get verified. Been at least 3 days now. Could you look into this for me? My account sn is hasnoclue.

Yes, that's possible - winners will not be excluded from winning further prizes.

Hey, no probs. It runs October 12-18, 2012. You can read more about it here.

Considering the rake on Merge is too freaking high, lottery prizes and tickets to live events is not what the average person wants or needs. Hopefully future promos will be better.

Hi Justin,

Your account was actually verified two days ago. If we can help with anything else please feel free to ask.

Thanks for the feedback. This is just one of the promotions we're running and we decided to draw prizes this way to allow anyone who plays on BCP, regardless of the stakes they play, to have equal opportunity to win. We also offer the following promotions:

- Monthly $10,000 rake race see here
- Up to 45% cash back each month
- 150% up to $750 First Deposit Bonus. Bonus code: TWOPLUS
- Unlimited Reload Bonuses: 75% up to $375. Bonus code: BCP375
- 10% instant boost on first deposit up to $30. Bonus code not needed.
- We also offer special promotions each week to our Facebook community.

Please note: Deposit bonuses, excluding the 10% Instant Boost are not paid immediately when they are awarded, they are cleared/credited incrementally at the ratio of $1/75vip in $5 lots.

Yet to recieve a PM i'm not trying to rush just thought maybe you forgot

Thank you. Guess I misread the initial email when they said it would be verified within 12 hours. But then...I never received another email about it. Weird.

Thanks though!

i've been playing on black chip for about a year now. best customer support i have received from any site so far. well done

Thanks for the thread btw.

One thing that is kind of annoying as of a few days ago. It might be just me but it takes a long time for me to be able to connect when I boot up the client. There is nothing wrong with my internet connection as I've checked it a few times. When I boot up the client, it stays on the "connecting" screen for a while. I'm talking at least 5 or 6 minutes sometimes. Then it finally gets to where I can log in and put in my password and that takes another minute or two. Kind of annoying but it does finally connect, just takes an eternity.

For the record, I booted up a competing merge skin and it was the same way. The network having problems?

Hi, sounds like it could be something to do with your actual computer more so than the internet connection or the network. I have not heard reports of others having the same issue. If you want to send me the specs for your computer I'll ask one of the techs to take a look and see if they can help you trouble shoot.

Oddly enough, it's not doing it now. Booted up and connected real fast. So nevermind, lol. Not sure what was up. I suppose I do multitask a lot with a lot of different programs and it's possible it just strugged a little with so much running in the background or something. Thanks for your help though.

Any chance for more payout options for US players? I've read of some other skins having WU withdrawal options for some players.
