- Two-factor login codes can arrive by SMS, WhatsApp, voice call, or email, set from Settings;
- Updating the email on an account requires TOTP 2FA to be active first, not just a password;

- Withdrawal requests get their own 4-digit email code, separate from the login 2FA system.
Log in and take a quick look at your account details before you sit down at your first table.
Go To LoginEnter the Poker Client and Confirm Access
Signing in to Black Chip Poker works like most desktop software: enter the Player ID and password, and the client opens directly into the lobby. If two-factor authentication is enabled, a temporary code is required alongside the password every time access is requested. Once inside, players can access the lobby, manage their account, and review available options from the same interface while keeping their login protected.
Use Two-Factor Authentication for Repeat Account Logins
Repeat access with a Black Chip Poker login picks up an extra layer of protection through 2FA, available via four delivery methods:
- SMS;
- WhatsApp;
- voice call;
- email.
Setting this up runs through Settings, then 2FA Security, where a dropdown menu lets a player pick whichever method suits them best. Once activated, a fresh 6-digit code is required every time the account logs in going forward, not just the first time it's set up. This additional verification step helps confirm that the person accessing the account has control over the selected delivery method. Keeping 2FA enabled provides an extra layer of security during regular account access while allowing players to continue using the client normally.
Set Up 2FA
Review Account Information Before Starting Your Session
My Account holds the details tied to a Black Chip Poker profile, and it's worth a quick check before diving into a session, particularly if anything has changed recently. Updating the email address on file works a little differently from other profile changes: it requires TOTP 2FA to be activated first, through the 2FA Security settings.
Activate TOTP through the 2FA Security settings.
Enter the new email under Account Information.
Confirm with the code sent to the new address.
Verify again with a one-time token from the authenticator app.
The account logs out automatically - log back in with the new email to finish.
Check Rewards and Tickets From Your Account
A few things worth checking right after signing in, before any cards are dealt, are accumulated rewards, your rakeback rate, and any tournament tickets sitting on the account.
Open Cashier Tools Without Leaving the Client
The Cashier section is accessible from the client app interface for all users who have already completed a Black Chip Poker login. From there, a player can check the balance, deposit funds, and request a withdrawal without having to open a separate page. Available withdrawal methods and their corresponding limits are displayed directly in the Withdrawals section, since this information depends on the specific method and is easier to check right there than to memorize in advance. Withdrawal requests also have their own security measure: after submitting a request, a 4-digit code valid for five minutes is sent to the email address specified in the account, and that code has to be entered before the request is processed.
Update Security Details and End Sessions Safely
If anything about a Black Chip Poker account looks off, a few steps handle most situations. Beyond reacting to a specific concern, a couple of habits are worth keeping regardless.
FAQ
Is a 2FA code required for a Black Chip Poker login every time, or only occasionally?
Every time, once 2FA is enabled; a new temporary code is generated for each login rather than being remembered after the first one.
Can the withdrawal 4-digit code be sent somewhere other than email?
No, that code always goes to the email address on the account, separate from whichever method is set up for regular login 2FA.
What happens if the 4-digit withdrawal code expires before it's entered?
Restarting the withdrawal request generates a fresh code, since the original one stops working five minutes after it's sent.
Is TOTP required for every login, or only when updating an email address?
Only for updating the email tied to an account; general login 2FA can run through SMS, WhatsApp, voice call, or email instead.
Is a phone number required to enable 2FA codes?
Only if SMS, WhatsApp, or a voice call is the chosen method; the email option needs no phone number at all.
