Casinocom.com Custom Chips

tantan · #1 01-12-2005, 04:34 PM

I am interested in ordering custom poker chips from casinocom.com. I like the multi-colored edge spots they offer but the rumor is that they are not reliable. There is a message of the front page of their website saying that they had problems but are back to being normal again. It's actually a very interesting letter.

My question is, does anyone recommend not doing business with these guys? Their homepage looks really generic. I was directed here by another fourm because apparently, a lot of the users here really know poker chips.

Also, they said the mold on their chips is a "peacock" type mold.

Any info would be appreciated.

In addition to casinocom.com not having a good track record those chips are manufactured by Blue Chip. Blue Chip is a very flakey company. So ordering from one poor company that is reselling products from another poor company doesn't sound like a great idea. Do a user name search for italianstang and read about his custom order from Blue Chip.

There are several group-buys getting together here now. Check those out.

If you are looking for total custom clay's Pokerchips.com and TR King are really the only 2 choices that are not Blue Chip.

They have been out of business for over 6 months now. I haven't heard of anyone EVER doing business with them. If you like the chips with edge spots, those are blue chip chips. Blue chip is also somewhat unreliable, does not have a website. You could probably find their phone number by doing a search on here. Not recomended though.

I don't think so. I had a discussion with the owner (Jack) last week!

I agree with Lumpy, they are not the most reliable or professional organization out there. I attempted to order custom chips from them about a year ago, but decided against it for these reasons.

Their edge spotted chips look like they're made by Blue Chip. Not a whole lot wrong with that, other than the fact that Blue Chip are reportedly sort of flakey to deal with.

I thought that BlueChip did buypokerchips.com chips? Aren't these supposed to be pretty good?

I've got some old BPC.com samples that are ASMs, but their new Modern Clays do indeed look like Blue Chips.

Like I said, nothing really wrong with them, 'cept that they're reportedly flakey to deal with.
