Running on Playtech software, Chili Poker is now one of the most popular rooms on the iPoker network in terms of traffic, satellites and high quality promotions. It is also the home poker Diva Liz Lieu and plays hosts to a number of suprisingly loose games meaning that solid poker players should be able to increase their bankroll fairly easily here.

Software

The Chili Poker software is one of the best out there. It runs as both a download and a Flash client meaning the Mac players can get as much out of the site as Windows users.

The software is updated regularly meaning that the current version is incredibly secure and allows players to play at eight tables simultaneously. On top of that, players can access some superb hand-history options and chose from a range of good looking avatars to represent themselves at the table.

Chili Poker Bonus

Chili Poker are offering a special bonus to all new players registering at the site for the first time. First depositors making a minimum deposit of $20 can take advantage of a 100% match bonus worth up to $600.

Games available

Rather than offer a wide range of different poker variants, Chili Poker choses to focus on four popular games: Texas Hold’em, Omaha, 5 Card Stud and 7 Card Stud. All of these games can be played as cash games, MTTs and SNGs.

Tournaments

A wide range of tournaments are open to players of all types and bankrolls. These include rebuys, deepstacks, turbos and shortstacked games. Being part of the iPoker network means that Chili can also take offer some fairly impressive prizes worth up to $1million.

When it comes to qualifying for live tournaments, Chili offers qualifiers to some of the largest games around including the WSOP and Aussie Millions. Chili is also the exclusive sponsor of WPT Marrackech meaning that players can also win tickets to some of the richest and most exotic tournaments around.

Freerollers will be pleased to hear that tickets to these events can be won without any risk to your bankroll. Equally freeroll prize pools tend to range from $50 to $1,000 and a $50/$100 beginners freeroll runs daily for all players new to the site.

Competition and Traffic

The iPoker network is one of the largest gaming networks out there. As of January 2010, Chili Poker were showing 10,000 ring-game players and 55,000 tournament players at peak times meaning that members never have to wait for a game, no matter what discipline they want to play.

Competition at Chili is varied although there are plenty of very soft games at the lower limits. A large number of flops are viewed so players who are willing to play solid ABC poker should find themselves picking up quite a few pots.

Support

The customer service team at Chili Poker are very good.

We would recommend solving any problems using the live chat functionality built into the software but for those who prefer to use other methods, Chili offer their player 24/7 telephone support and a dedicated email address.
