So I checked and when you click on GET FREE CHIPS a countdown clock starts with zero being @ 4 hours - you can then collect 12,500 more chips SO... if you wanted to only play TCBPP games you could do it absolutely for free... Like Dennis said. Our games are 20,000 chips and if you logged in just twice and collected your 12,500 X2 you are playing totally FREE. You can register for the games up to 7 days before game time too.
