Heads Up - Free Set of 300 Nevada Jacks Chips
Hey, just a heads up that PokerSourceOnline is doing a promotion whre they are giving away 25 sets per day of 300 Nevada Jacks Chips as a signup promotion. I managed to get signed up and finished 250 hands at partypoker in one night and am waiting for my chips now. I dunno if this is the right section or not, but I just thought i'd let you guys know as it's a quick way to get a $300 chipset for free. They don't have it listed as a selection in their normal signup, you have to see and click on the banner from either the 2+2 site or on their site.

If so, I highly recommend them. I've had mine for 5 months or so now, and I still absolutely love them!

I finished my requriements and am waiting for my set now. Can't wait to get them to replace the super-cheap chips we have now. My only beef is that you can't customize the values so I'll end up with 100 $1 chips that won't be used much.
They have a promo right now to get 9000 pso points instead of 6000 as well. I've already cleared 2 sites and am working on a third. Gonna get some best buy gift cards...between those, the site bonuses and my winnings, I should have enough to pick up an xbox 360.
Currently doing the promo myself - although I will give myself a couple weeks to complete it, in hopes that the rumored Canadian distributer deal comes through.
Read the post about own custom clearance with Canadian customs & excise but wonder if it is worth the effort driving around to save the 80+ bucks..
By the way as per previous post anyone here know if the NJ chips from the Calgary store is the same quality /type as these from PSO as I would need to get more NJ chips to make a good set.
the NJ chips from PSO with 500 chip set would cost 15000 PSO points ie 2 more promotion sites! to sign up
I'm doing the same thing as you but am going to buy a new laptop. I've finished 3 and am now on my 4th. I did Party and pokerroom for 9000 points each, pokerrewards for 6000 points and am on Paradise for 9000 points.
First off - shouldn't be a matter to do the brokerage yourself. Simply inform UPS that you will be handling the brokerage yourself (do this ASAP).When you are contacted that your shipment has arrived, you go pick up some forms from UPS, go to customs, fill out some more paper and pay GST/taxes as applicable, then take the forms back to UPS, who will release your package.
One poster on PSO stated he only had to pay $30, which is great considering I have heard $70-80 fees with the gouge from UPS.
Also, the chips on Straightflush.ca should be the same chips. I'm doing the promo now, and hopefully there will be word on this Canadian distributer rumour (could it be Straightflush?). I would also like to add some extra chips to the "standard" set, to make it more of a tournament type set.
The duty ended up being 64 dollars. I was going to call UPS and do the customs myself but by the time I read the post I was too late. Stilll...i'm not complaining. The cheapest i've seen these chips is $300 cdn, plus tax and shipping...so 64 bucks and 2 hours of poker ain't too bad a deal.
Include some sweet pics if you can (there was a nice pic of three tallllll stacks on PSO)
Picked up my package at UPS the other night. Duties came to 64.10 all together. The box included:
- cookes rules of real poker book
- dealer button
- 2 decks of copags...not plastic, but nice
- 300 pc chip case
- 100 1$ chips
- 100 5$ chips
- 50 25$ chips
- 50 100$ chips
The chips themselves are very nice. The graphics on the face and edges are great and the feel is leaps and bounds better than the chipsets at costco/walmart. The faces have a nice textured feel to them which seems to help them stack better as well. I lent my camera out, so i'll put up a full review of them soon once I get it back.
All together, I am super happy with this set and the promo at PSO...I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a cheap way of getting a nice chipset.
They didn't post the info. I've asked, but haven't heard back yet.
BTW, mine will probably be one of the last sets coming from the US. I was confirmed on Friday, I think. So I should be getting an e-mail from the thieves in brown shorts soon! (Of course, I will reply straight away telling them, thanks anyways, but I will take care of the brokerage myself!)
These chips are 100's of times better than the dice chips. These are casino quality ceramic chips.
So do you have a set?
Not yet - they're on the way...
I have handled 8 custon nevada jacks chips, and I have 3 of them. They are comparable to the chipco chips used in the luxor, but they have a better texture and sound IMO.
Here are my NJ customs:

What do other think of Titan or Ultimate Bet?
Can the 250 hands be raked at lower limits? Do they have lower limits?
