Our review of the games, rakeback, software, cashier and account rules that separate these two rooms.
Our first pass made Black Chip Poker and Guts Poker look closer than they are. Once we separated the welcome offers from the everyday product, the meaningful differences were traffic, game access, tracking tools and account friction.
We would start with Guts Poker. Guts Poker has the higher listed trust score at 92/100 compared with 75/100. Black Chip Poker lists 4,500 players while Guts Poker lists 0. We still see a case for Black Chip Poker if its NLHE and PLO offering or 27% rakeback better matches the way you play.
