Cool Question

I have a question hopefully someone may have an answer to. I am fairly new to real money poker and am having a good time with it so far. I have been playing on Pokerstars Play Money for several months and have maxed out in chips several times only to give millions away so I can play again. I got to thinking however that I could sell all these play money chips to enhance my real money bankroll. Are there any sites where you can sell pokerstars play chips? I don't want to annoy people by asking on pokerstars site as those that have annoyed me are doing. I would appreciate your responses.

that is how i started out playing poker as well - selling playchips- dont sell to any of the sites- most are scams which is pathetic - but i know a guy who buys them and he is 100% reliable and legit.

ya- wuts wrong with that? - i was 16 - had no way of depositing - never made a deposit and cashed out 3.5k from $ made from selling playchips.
So I'm sure glad I did it and dont see anything wrong with it- not that i would do it anymore - but for ppl who have never played real money - i think its actually a pretty good way to learn.

i was talking to this guy on pokerstars while playing, he said that people sell chips on ebay. but you have to have an ebay account, and it goes around 15 bucks for a million chips. i think its better doing that than getting scammed while trying to sell it on pokerstars.

PS: its one of pokerstars' rules that selling chips is not allowed, so if they know about it youre in trouble

people that wanna play poker, but dont wanna lose real money go and play the fake money, just for fun. and i am guessing they have a lot in their account so thats why they spend money on fake chips.
i never did it, and i am not looking toward buying play chips, i think the idea is stupid.

They're pretty tough on this bullshit.

I've heard of Play Money accounts being closed and millions of play chips seized!

Look out!

Pokerstars is clear on their policy about soliciting to sell play chips as far as their rules state. However, in some recent comunication with them via email for something mildly related to selling on their site they told me that they have no firm rule that prohibits someone from selling play chips on their site. Now I for one would never spend cash to buy play chips, but there are many people who do. I have a couple of guys I play cards with that live near me that have made hundreds of dollars selling their play chips which made me even think about this. I'm not trying to take up space with this thing nor am I trying to get an arguement started. I was just curious if anyone knew someone or a site that would buy them. Since asking about this and searching this out on yahoo, I have come to find literally 20 or 30 sites that do this. I know it's crazy, but hell it's their money.

Okay so instead of playing 5-10 play money, people decide to play 2MIL-4MIL or whatever the hell the highest limit is. Maybe I'm way off here but can't you reload your play money chips, uhh for free. I just honestly can't understand why in the flying fuck any one would be so retarded as to purchase fake poker chips. I would feel slightly bad selling them to these obviously mentally ill people.

well when you refill, you get only 1,000 in play chips, people that buy it from you go to the high stakes tables and play 40K or fold, i played it a couple of times and its really fun. but i prefer builing my fake chips in a couple of days to couple hundred grand, rather than spending real money and playing right at that moment.

PS: again those people are loaded, so they dont care about spending a couple of bucks for fake money.

He actually said that? OMG! Well any way I have already increased my bank some today so I'm liking that. With some practice I may be able to do some good in Vegas when I'm there in April. That or lose my ass and get extremely drunk.
