Chan Poker is fast becoming one of the top rooms on the OnGame Network which can be attributed the company’s success in marketing the largest sign up bonus for players along with the fact that this room is the only one fully endorsed by Johnny Chan himself. The poker room offers massive guaranteed tournaments along with daily freerolls for all players. Chan Poker is licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission and has a certified RNG. Due to the UIGEA, Chan Poker does not accept US players.
Chan Poker provides all new players with a 100% cash bonus up to $1000. This is one of the largest bonuses available for players online. To clear it you must earn at least 7 frequent player points for every $1 in bonus money Chan Poker awarded you on your initial deposit. Once you have earned the required amount of points you will receive your bonus in $10 increments.
Overall the competition at Chan Poker is standard to most rooms of this size. The low limit to micro limit tables generally have a 45% viewed flop percentage peaking in the low 50’s, whereas the higher limits present a stronger game.
Ring game selection is equivalent to other rooms with Chan Poker supporting; Texas Holdem, Omaha, Omaha Hi Li, 7 Card Stud, and 7 Card Stud Hi Lo. They do attract plenty of players with over 15,000 real money players online during peak hours and as such you shouldn’t have too many difficulties finding the stake you are accustomed to. The stakes start as low as $0.10/$0.20 which is a great start for beginner’s right up to $50/$100. During this review the only game we found to be non-active was the Seven Card Stud and Seven Card Stud Hi Lo. The poker room takes a 5% rake from each pot with a cap fixed at $3 per hand.
