    They don't state a time, so I would not be too concerned yet. The Golden Chips don't expire for a week, so plenty of time. I'm assuming you have Opted In & met the criteria.

    Generally, these things are sorted mid to late afternoon on the due day, rather like the Sky Poker Rewards.

    I've spoken to the Office & they have confirmed what I noted above - this Promo is scheduled to be processed some time this afternoon.

    Ive had mine but they dont even let you bet the whole 5 chips at once which somewhat dilutes the (small) excitement.

    Tip FYI for anyone interested in maximising their EV from this.

    GTO here is NOT to bet the Golden Chips on a regular hand of Blackjack, which I imagine is what some people will do.

    Instead, do the minimum (£1 probably) bet on your hand then the £1 Golden Chip bet on a side game (21+3 or PP) in the same hand. This is because your Golden Chip is not returned when you win, the same as when you get a free Sports bet. Therefore, like with a free sports bet, there's no point putting it on at a short price. Blackjack obviously pays either evens or 6/4, so pretty poor value when not getting your stake returned to you with a win, whereas the side games pay at anywhere from I think 4/1 or 5/1 upwards.

    Obvs this means you are putting actual money on Blackjack and you can lose a few quid if you lose all your hands and all the Golden Chip side bets, whereas you can't lose money (unless you split/double) playing the Golden Chip on your hand.

    But EV wise, it works out better to use the Golden Chip this way.

    I am banned from Sky Casino promos and they just shipped me £5 cash instead as I presumably can't receive Golden Chips.

    Played 10 blackjack hands with the golden chips/own roll - lost nine, chopped one. Good promo, would play again.
