I understand that there's obviously a demand. Sorry my question didn't come through better. Let's try again:

What is it that creates this demand? Why are people wanting/willing to pay money for play chips? I can at least understand the market for this sort of thing with MMORPGs like World of Warcraft as players there can't use real world money to buy items and don't want to put in the time to build up their gold/silver/etc. But with play money on sites like Stars where's the payback? Playing poker for play chips seems, at least to me, the same whether your playing for 25/50 blinds or 2500/5000....
