Hi Everyone

Just discovered your great site here ... I'm a little overwhelmed! I'm a poker enthusiast down in Australia, I run a small home game with weekly cash games and online forum/blog. Having had some moderate success playing online, I've decided to use some of my profit and take the plunge into a custom chip set for my home poker club.

A google search brought me here! Not sure where to start ... is there a FAQ?

Anyway, hi! I'll surf around and check out the site.

Buzz

Re: Hi Everyone

Welcome to the boards mate. You'll definitely get the answers you're looking for here. Usually you'll get warned about the addiction to poker chips. So let me be the first to say I warned you. But have a great time here.

Re: Hi Everyone

Haha I am a bit worried that both might happen - addiction and say goodbye to $$$

One question - anyone know of any other Aussie members? Love to talk to some locals about their experiences sourcing Customs in Australia.

Look for a member with the name "ontilt". Pretty sure he's an Aussie. Oh yeah, do you have a wife/girlfriend? Do you get along well with her? Do you have money? If yes to any of these questions...you're in trouble.

Re: Hi Everyone

There is certainly a handful of Aussie members here.

Custom chips, start here:

http://www.chiptalk.net/forum/custom-chips/

There are two main manufacturers of custom clays; ASM & BCC.

Their websites:

Poker Chips OnLine Home Page (ASM)
Buy Casino chips by Blue Chip Company (BCC)

There are others but these are the main ones, and there are several ceramic companies also.

It's worth noting that as a chiptalk member you have access to much more options from ASM than they advertise to the public.

Good luck, and welcome to chiptalk.

Re: Hi Everyone

Hi Buzz. Welcome to ct.

The first thing you need to do is figure out if you like clay or ceramic chips.
The only way to do this is to buy some sample chips to handle and look at.
When you know what type of chip you want it's time to figure out a design you want to use.
Now you can start to design your chip in a graphic program like Photoshop or Illustrator or similar.
If you don't have the knowledge how to use such programs you can ask for help from some of the talented designers on this board.

Good luck.
