Poker Rooms Accepting US Players


Some online poker rooms do not accept US players in their games and if they do, they do not play for real money. This is probably due to the US’ Unlawful Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 which banned online gambling transactions. After this law was enacted, some poker rooms started barring US players and some barred US players from specific states. However, there are still some major online poker rooms allowing US players into their games to the extent of even playing for real money since the Law only prohibited gambling transactions but not the playing itself.

 

Most of the sites currently accepting US players to play for real money have special payment methods hence making it easier for them to earn their dues. The payment methods could be Ultra Prepaid Card, Prepaid card, payTru, debit cards, credit cards, Money Gram, e-check and Western Union Money Transfer.

Examples of the poker rooms that accept US players are Poker Star, Full Tilt Poker, Absolute Poker, Bodog Poker, Carbon Poker, Cake Poker, Pitbull Poker among others and the best thing is that they offer games for real money.

 

Full Tilt is probably a favorite to many US poker players. It hosts professional as well as expert players that you can watch play if you cannot compare with them. With multi-tabling of more than ten tables and a couple of multi-table tournaments called Full Tilt Online Poker Series, Full Tilt Poker Room allows you to earn Full Tilt Points while playing real money games. The poker room uses the Ultra Paid Prepaid Cards to pay out money.

 

Bodog Poker Room offers a couple of games including Texas Hold’em and Omaha for interested US players with up to three tables for multi-tabling. This Poker room boosts excellent downloadable software and host all US players regardless of state with a single account for their sports book, poker and casino. Currently, the poker room has regained its domain name from 1st Technology, LLC after the end of the legal battle between them and the company.

 

Absolute Poker Room is known for its reload and deposit bonuses as well as free poker and promotional tournaments. The poker room allows players to multi-table in more than ten tables. Here, you earn points during tournaments by pot size as opposed to many sites that award through the rake.
