Our review of the games, rakeback, software, cashier and account rules that separate these two rooms.
Our first pass made Black Chip Poker and Ignition 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 Black Chip Poker. Ignition Poker has the higher listed trust score at 78/100 compared with 75/100. Black Chip Poker lists 4,500 players while Ignition Poker lists 4,000.
