Chan Poker operates on the OnGame Poker network which means it uses the highly rated OnGame custom designed poker software.

The software is very clean and sleek and the graphics are excellent and is one of the most pleasing on the eye 2D poker software packages available.

The software is also reliable and it's clear that OnGame have put alot of time and effort into the development of their software package and worked with Chan Poker to customize it to their needs. One nice touch that we like was one of the characters at the table actually being Johnny Chan himself, so if you get the right seat at the table, you actually play as Johnny Chan - how cool is that!

They also offer a no download version of their software which is played through your web browser.

The software is excellent and is packed with features, but the only thing preventing it from scoring higher in this category is the way the software handles multi-table play. The playability of the software is sometimes a little hard, with things like the buttons being very close together and it being easy to time out when you are not concentrating and don't realize its your turn to act. This coupled with the large size of the tables, make it very difficult to Multi-Table without making mistakes.

The player toughness at Chan Poker is not bad but you won't find so many new players as you can at some of the other sites. This is due to the fact that a lot of the traffic is focused towards the mid to high stakes tables where you are less likely to find players who are new to the game.

On top of this Chan Poker offer a player reward program where you can use your player points to buy Chan Poker merchandise and other great rewards.

You also get the opportunity to actually play with a living legend as well as Johnny Chan himself often plays on the site in both special tournaments and regular cash games. In fact during a preview of Chan Poker that was put on for website owners and the media, I myself played in a media only tournament and found myself sitting next to Johnny Chan and went on to spend a good 30 minutes chatting to the man himself via the chat box - it was certainly a surreal experience - and I have to say that he is a top guy.

The rake at Chan Poker is slightly above the industry average. The maximum rake they will take per hand is $3 which is in line with the rest of the industry, however as they work up to that maximum the % of rake per pot can be higher than other poker operators.

Rake is calculated in a more complex way with the calculation consisting of 3 variables - Type of game, Number of players in the pot and size of the pot.
