Chico Poker Network

The Chico Poker Network has established itself as a reliable and US-friendly option for online poker players seeking softer competition and an intuitive gaming experience.

Operating for over 20 years it is featuring popular skins like TigerGaming, BetOnline, and SportsBetting.ag.

The network provides a mix of cash games, tournaments, and fast-fold variants.
While it may not match larger networks in traffic volume or advanced software features, its focus on recreational players and accessibility make it a standout choice.
For players looking to enjoy poker in a relaxed, low-pressure environment with solid traffic and quick payouts, the Chico Poker Network is well worth exploring.

BetOnline and SportsBetting cater to poker players from the United States, while TigerGaming primarily targets an international audience, offering poker, casino games, and sports betting.

The Chico Poker Network ranks among the top global networks in terms of traffic, particularly in cash games. In fact, it consistently sees more cash game players than platforms like PartyPoker, bwin, or Unibet.

This strong traffic is largely driven by its acceptance of U.S. players, who make up more than half of the network's user base.
Players will find action across all stakes, from micro limits up to high stakes—capped at NL1000.

Policy Towards Professional Player

TigerGaming is generally supportive of grinders, providing an environment that allows for profitable play while implementing measures to maintain game integrity.

They allow the use of tracking software and HUDs, but restrict tools like seating scripts to ensure fair play.

While higher rake might be a concern, it is offset by the soft player field and various promotions that benefit regular players.

The site encourages responsible play and adapts its policies to balance the needs of recreational and professional players.
