Tools like
odds calculators and
games trackers can be found at online poker sites. Now
ChiliPoker.com has come up with a completely different tool
called Chiliconnect. Chiliconnect is an integrated toolbar
within the poker software that will allows players to share
results, connect with other players, challenge friends with side
bets and much more. It is being proclaimed as one of the biggest
innovations at online poker sites.
ChiliPoker.com has designed Chiliconnect to be compatible with popular social networking channels like Facebook and Twitter. ChiliPoker.com founder, Alexandre Dreyfus said that with Chiliconnect players will be able to publish their results to social networking sites directly from the online poker site. They will also be able to customize the messages they want published on their walls. He added that ChiliPoker.com is looking to make this online poker tool compatible with as many applicable social media sites as possible.
Chiliconnect will also connect players at the online poker site ChiliPoker.com with each other. Players will be able track in real time the activity of their friends such as seeing their results and finding out for which online poker tournaments the friends have registered. Players can also challenge other ChiliPoker.com members to specially designed competitions created using their own formats. Players can also place side bets or prop bets. For example they can set up a challenge as to who will last longer in a tournament. The beauty about Chiliconnect is that it will conduct automatic settlement of the challenge with funds transfers, without the online poker site charging commissions, fees or other costs.
Dreyfus also explained the inspiration behind Chiliconnect. He said, “Chilipoker has always been close to its players through a very strong customer-care team. Carefully listening to our players, we understood that online poker players wanted to enjoy the same experience as in land-based events. We decided to add this social experience online, alongside a unique real-money challenging system.” ChiliPoker.com has been around only for the last four years. Yet it has moved ahead of older and bigger online poker sites in this respect. And in order to ensure that this poker tool is its exclusive preserve Chilipoker.com has patented Chiliconnect in Europe.
