    Default Who Buys Play Money and Why?

    My only thought was the poker sites themself buy play money chips so that you have some real money to play with on their site in the hope you continually play there paying rake.

    Has anyone here ever bought play money chips and if so why? I'm not taking the piss, I am curious.

    The also sell play money for like $50 for 20 mill chips. Good for long time losing degen gamblers that just want to play. It takes them ages to lose 20 mill play chips but its only $50, they wouldnt get the same kick from losing $50 at the penny stakes.

    Merchants seem to make a fair bit.

    Maybe people figure they can buy some amount for 10 bucks, and make play chips more easily than playing for real money, then sell the millions of gained play chips.

    it's a good way to donk around when your having a cooler..

    2 years ago i use to buy/sell them. i could buy them for $10-$12 a mil and sell them for $18-$20.

    easy way to make $30-$50 an hour

    Its fun to go the low level NL play tables and ship someone 20k in play chips just to watch their reaction...It's like they won the lottery!

    I am not sure it is. You can get 1k play chips for free and continually reload. I don't see any need to pay for them.
