I think having a limited gift option is the way to go, with a limit of say 10,000 chips per player. That loan could be paid back when you’ve got enough funds, and that would reset the counter back to 0, and you could lend that same player 10,000 again.
I dont see a problem in giving away or loaning your own chips.
But since i believe you guys want to earn some money with selling chips i guess its not allowed??
I agree with happi, u should be able to donate hips to your friends. It is just play money. u should be able to use your play money, the way u want to
when my girlfriend runs out of chips, I’d like to be able to give her some of mine lol
just want to add, this was not meant in a offensive way.
maintaining a site like this costs allot of money and if everybody would get his chips from someone else that’ll be mean, no incomes.
some might need to buy or get chips from someone else for a start, others are good enough to make their own. when they r low on stack i see no problem helping them speed things up a little, they would never buy something.
I have to comment this. good idea Paul. What if we let medium and high players to do that only?
Or it could be a gold member feature, when we relaunch the subscriptions.
Just have to get my 2 cents in quick… You have to be very careful with this, because what if there are 2 friends on the same IP address that want to share chips? They can have a possibility of getting banned for the wrong reason, such as “chip dumping”. But it can be reversed too. Say you catch 1 person with 2 accounts chip dumping, he can use the excuse that it is him and his “friend” on the same IP. Even if you know that both the accounts are the same person, you still have no solid evidance that it is 100% true. And if you ban them for it, they will probably get angry and quit. So this results in players quitting the site, which is good that we are losing cheaters, but bad if you want to put the site more on the map by getting more players. So bottom line is: Everyone is not always going to get what they want, so you have to be very careful on what side you are trying to please.
Thanks for reading! (And sorry Marci, I know you said to not have mods post on this idea, but I couldn’t resist…) Stay safe!

was never allowed , so something was never right , never can take away.
RP want to give this from now, the queston is the way how to do it.
no prob, but look, we want let family to play here but if one of them cheat , thets one person can make a lot of demage to legit users . Thets act wont bring more players only drive away a lot. Usaly thet banned family member send email to support and find out his/her children cheat and they sort it out after at home after they can play again. Anyway thets really rare, wont affect most of as. We send PM and warnings multiple time, if they wont respond , cant do to much but protect the legit replaypoker users from them. Under 18 should not play in this site btw.
would also be nice for prop bets or side bets- so one could transfer some chips to another account…
.
RP allows players to have more than one account?? That doesn’t seem right. I like the idea of loaning chips with automatic payback.
NO, not at all, but your family member can play, some suggest here, not to able give chips in the same household.This idea about give chips to the friends, as birthday present or semething like thet.
Hi all,I am farely new here since Sept this yr, I have played on alot of different poker sites , this 1 is very good …I won millions on the other sites …for some reason I find this site very very hard to win , I have to agree that if u have alot of chips they shud be yours to give away (not by dumping by the way or to same IP addy )…but to help a friend get started … I will win my own because I am strong enough to keep on trying , but have to say it is very frustrating when u sit in a trny 3 or 4 in a roll and dont get cards to match up or so low u cant play them …I have at some point almost went back to other site , reason I left that site was because they took playchip trnys away because not enough wanted to play real money… my point is , I had a few froends come to this site … and they left because they cudnt win here and way too hard to get started with no chips … bottom line is I love this site and players here r very nice , enjoy every part about this site but the play chips problem …
Hi there , I am fairly new here Sept/13. I have to say dont agree with chip dumping /or from 1 IP to another with same IP, but giving chips to friends .why not.?.I have played on different sites, this 1 is very very good , the players and all the different games are great … other site I played on took off play chip trnys because wasnt enough players playing real money …I told lots of friends about this site , some on them came here and like it all but the fact it is way to hard getting started here. they went back told other players it was way too hard to get started … I have to say it gets very frustrating when u cant win … I seat in 2 or 3 trnys in a row …and cant hit a hand … even the hands I fold , out of the whole trny I might have won 1or2 hands if i wud have played my cr ap cards …point is then u lose ur chips and have to go back to start … I have never had a problem winning millions on all the other sites … this 1 I must say is frustrating … RP lost out in about 15 players that wud have come to this site had it not been so hard to get a start … I think friends helping friends out when they r in need to give them a kick start up is a good thing … I am not sure the reason why it is hard to win here ? I had 5 friends that I got to come here and they wud have brought alot of friends too their is only 1 of the 5 that is trying to get a start … and he is thinking of leaving also … frustrated to no end … friends helping friends ? why not ?
its very hard to point out who would be real friend or just chipdumper, cheat.
You get 50-60 k chips with the awards as new player, every 10 min 2.5 k if you not bingo player.
If RP open thet give away chips as much you want + for friends, the site would crash in weeks.
its poker, noone said its easy game like tic-tac-toe
ATB
RP work on something to make possible the gift
If I remember right, or not changed.
I realize it is not tic tac toe …I just added my thoughts on it … thanks very much ,
Hi starbritexx
I understand what you mean. For that reason Shakeraise set up a whole new Multi Table Tournament schedule. It is now attractive for all players. For new players, players with low bankroll, players for tournament ranking and for players who want to play a tournament sometimes.
Every day 3 freerolls, with a prize pool of 200K, satellites for the daily tourneys with a guaranteeed prize pool of 1 million, and freerolls for them. Lots of tourneys with a guaranteed prize pool. And ofcourse the 2 daily tourneys with a 1 million guaranteed prize pool, buy-in 15K or a ticket you can win in the satellites.
The tourneys Bankroll Builders, tourneys with 5k or 10k added to the prize pool and low buy-in are very attractive for new and for players with a low bankroll.
But still, to win chips you must end in the paid top. With 50 players in a tourney 10 players win chips and the other 40 player not. No matter the buy-in.
Now we want to concentrate us on the SnGs. In my opinion is it very attractive to play 1K - 2K SnGs when you are new or when you have a low bankroll. Starting with 9 or 6 players it is a bit easier to end in the paid top. The plan is to give it a own ranking and hopefully we can set up a promotion for it soon.
And about giving play chips to friends. We must find the right way to do that if we gonna allow that. It are play chips, but we want to keep the value of it, so that players keep playing serious.
When players can give chips away unlimited it decreases the value of the play chips very much. There will be more gambling because players can ask their friends for new when they lost all chips.
Thanks for your feedback, very usefull. We’ll discuss it in the schedule team.
Greetings Happiness.
WOW happy … I was wondering why their wasnt too many players playing sitngoes, most of my friend enjoy them alot … lots of reasons to play them … not so time consuming as the multi-tables …wud be great if RP cud come up with some kind of promotion to attract players there … GREAT IDEA … happy …
As far as the chip giving … I agree it wud have to be done in a proper way so no bingo players… thanks for explaining because it makes good sense … I will pass this on to all my friends as well … Keep up the good work Happy and I also want to say , this idea of forum, cummunity power support is and added feature RP has that no other poker site has … “replay” keeps getting better and better in my eyes … Thanks to all of u …
