Chico Network Cash Game Promotion!

  Chico Poker Network continues to try to gain the attention of players, and this month they are unveiling one of their largest cash promotions in some time and it will easily offset the fact that rakeback is not available on the network.  There is also going to be a bit tournament players and casual players can get from this promotions. So grinders shouldn’t be the only interested parties.

Chico Network Continues March to Top

Chico Network, which is headlined by BetOnline and Sportsbetting.ag, is the third largest US-facing site and is knocking on the door of 2nd place, currently occupied by Merge Network.  One way that they have achieved this is through aggressive bonuses and unique promotions that add a little bit of creativity to their repertoire.  This month is no different as their main cash game promotion takes on an Easter feel to it.  Of course, players will also have the option to deposit via bitcoin, which Chico Network recently unveiled, so even if you don’t have any money on Chico Network and want to get a lot on to grind through this promotion then it’s easily possible.  You can read about the specifics of bitcoin transaction via Chico Network here.

Cash Game Promotion

As alluded to in the intro Chico Network is taking a very Easter (the non-Christian version of it) feel approach to its promotions and that is greatly evidenced by their major cash game promotion that is basically a rake race with a fun feel to it.  Essentially you will get Easter themed prizes for each $1 you rake.  Then you collect each at a certain level to move up to the next level.  For every $1 you rake you get a bag of chips and once you get 5 of those you get a hard candy.  Once you reach the 5th level you get a Hollow Bunny.  The Hollow Bunny is the first item that is worth any money.  You can get $50 for every Hollow Bunny that you have, and if you get 3 then you move up to level 6 which is an M&M Filled Bunny.  Once you get 3 of those you move up to the final level that is the Caramel Fudge Chocolate Filled Easter Egg, which is worth $500 (so you gain an extra $50 from having one of those rather than having three of the bunnies from level 6.)

That’s not all though, as BetOnline is also running some extra promotions throughout the month.  April 1st to April 5th is the first Easter Egg Hunt.  These are little quests that provide extra money for players.  The first Easter Egg Hunt is either get a royal flush (and win $100) or get 4 of a kind (and get 10x the big blind).  April 13th to the 17th is the second Easter Egg Hunt which is get a Bad Beat or 4 of a kind of and win 10x the big blind each.  The 3rd and final Easter Egg Hunt is from April 27th to April 30th and is get a royal flush or bad beat for the same prizes as above.  As an added bonus players who collect 1 East Egg from any of the hunts are going to be put into a drawing to win an LG Photo Printer.  This printer is a $250 value, so it’s a pretty big perk for someone.  The more eggs you get, the more entries you will get into the drawing.

Tournament players will also be happy about this promotion as two special tournaments are slated for the month of April in conjunction with it.  April 5th will see an Easter Sunday $15,000 special being offered and April 30th will feature a Chocolate Explosion $10,000 tournament.  These tournaments will have great value as they are one of the only major tournaments on Chico Poker Networks Sunday schedule, also as always special tournaments attract all sorts of players.

Summary

Chico Poker Network is attempting to offset one of the major arguments that players put against their network, which is having no rakeback.  With this major cash promotion and soft games, players will lose very little compared to other sites and those players looking for full ring NL will be pleasantly surprised to see many tables of that running during all times of the day.  Have you played on Chico Network before?  What are your thoughts on it?  Tell us on Twitter and Facebook!
