Don’t Be Cheated By Counterfeit Poker Chips

It’s currently very easy to be fooled into buying low quality, counterfeit poker chips and supplies. A poker chip set photo can be very deceiving. Images of poker chips can easily be touched up, hiding from you the flaws in the design. What you may not know is that many poker chips you see around the internet are actually illegal duplicates of U.S copyrighted designs.

These type of poker chips are illegally produced in Asian factories that do not pay attention to quality. The websites and Ebay vendors that push these knock-off poker chips try to persuade you by their low prices.

But what you don’t know until the set you purchased arrives is that the chip molding is poor, they are uneven in width and diameter, and the material used to produced the poker chips is usually a recycled plastic that easily scuffs.

Many of these counterfeit chip retailers will make false claims about clay poker chips as well, as most chips that claim to be clay have little or no clay content at all. You will see them advertise ridiculous 100+% price match guarantees, but one thing they can not guarantee is quality. You probably know from experience that you get what you pay for, and this is true for poker chips as well.

Purchasing a quality set of poker chips is important! Educate yourself about the chips BEFORE you buy so that you’ll at least know what to look out for as well as be able to appreciate and identify fine poker chips & supplies.
