If you play online poker and you're an American or a US resident chances are
you're quite familiar with the unfortunate fact that the majority of online
poker rooms no longer accept real-money players from the USA. The good news
is that the six USA poker rooms that still welcome US players are all amongst
the best in the world, and two of them are simply the best around (Poker
Stars and Full Tilt Poker).
What makes one poker room better than another? The volume of players, the
level of guaranteed tournaments, the satellites to major land based events,
the software, customer service and administrative support - all these
factors play a part. The six US poker rooms listed below all score very well in these
major categories and because Americans can still play there they tend to
feature the biggest tournaments and the most varieties of poker.
We have ranked the USA friendly poker rooms based on our personal experiences
of playing there - rest assured our poker junkie editorial team has accounts
at all of them. Drop us a line if you want to play heads up at any of
them!
