ChipMeUp Sells Poker Shares

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

What’s hotter than the Vegas Strip during the WSOP? ChipMeUp.com is an online site that stakes poker players in live and online tournaments. Now people can bid on shares of poker players staked in tournaments around the world. What’s more is that you can now get a stake in the WSOP. For only 3% of Phil Ivey’s stake in event #8 win, which equals about $9.33, bidder “1000cuts” earned almost $2,000 when Ivey won the bracelet.

Players and fans can buy and sell percentages of their favorite players poker games in online and live tourneys. At ChipMeUp, Bidders participate in auctions with no-reserves that offer a wide range of poker tournaments, as well as shares in poker-themed vacation packages and other stuff. It’s like a poker eBay. Register for free and fund your ChipMeUp account right from your online poker account. Try it out just for the fun of the healthy competition.

There’s more than just WSOP stakes, though. There are dozens of other smaller auctions like the $25 Full Tilt Shooter auctions that go for under $1. The administrators of the site are very available to answer questions posted on the ChipMeUp forum. They are also on top of rule breakers and blacklist those users who do not contribute positively to the site, ensuring that all players achieve the most from the revolutionary website.

Due to the great member ratings and customer service, and the very helpful and active forum, ChipMeUp membership has really shot up and is seeing a steady influx of new and repeat users. 1% of Ivey’s potential 2009 WSOP Main Event winnings, which could be up to a $40K value, sold for less than $2; however, Phil Ivey is not affiliated with ChipMeUp, nor does he endorse or sponsor the auctions. It’s just something fun to for poker fans!
