BetOnline is the Chico Poker Network's biggest skin and its US-facing flagship. The brand has been online since 2004 and in the sportsbook business longer than that; poker joined when it was part of the old Action Poker Network, which became Chico in 2012. Players outside the US usually join the same pool through TigerGaming; Americans (outside New Jersey and a few states that have pushed back) come in here or through SportsBetting Poker.
Everything that makes Chico soft applies: poker sits alongside a far larger sportsbook, casino and racebook, so a good share of the table is there to gamble, not grind. Cash games run six- and nine-handed Hold'em, PLO, PLO8 and five- and six-card PLO from $0.05/$0.10 up to $5/$10, with bomb-pot and straddle tables. There's a fast-fold format (Boost) at the lower limits, three-handed Windfall jackpot games up to 2,500x, and a tournament schedule worth around $10 million a month in guarantees, headlined by the $150,000 Sunday Main Event.
Cash tables have been anonymous since 2021 — opponents' names are hidden until you post a blind — and the client ships its own basic session HUD; third-party trackers mostly need a converter. The rake is on the high side and the room's own rakeback is modest unless you also bet sports or play casino, which is exactly why a deal matters here.
