Who knows what the future for online poker will be for United States players? Some rooms, listed below, continue to accept US players, but other rooms started pulling out. Perhaps an option would be for online poker to be regulated by the states. We're staying on top of this informaiton and you can find further developments about US State Poker Sites on FTR. State to state regulation may not be best case scenario, but it's certianly better than no poker at all!

The United States Congress passed the Port Act on September 30th, 2006. President Bush then signed the Port Act on Friday the 13th, October 2006. Major poker sites such as Party Poker, Paradise Poker, and PokerRoom.com banned US players right away. However, thousands of US poker players continue to play online at many of the other well-established online poker rooms that continue to accept American online poker players. We've compiled the list of US friendly poker rooms/sites below.

We'd like to keep this list of USA friendly poker sites current, so please send us an email if you find any discrepancies.

Below is our US poker sites reviews, ratings, and rankings section. We've created a system that allows our members to rate a particular online US poker room on five different categories - software interface/usability, poker room action, customer/technical support, ease of game/fish, and bonus/promotions. Each category is rated on a 1-5 scale, with 1 being worst and 5 being best. These numbers are all added up and averaged to provide an overall rating for that poker site, and we've ranked those US poker sites by that overall rating.

If you have experience with any of the below online US poker sites, and would like to post a review, please become a registered user in our Poker Forum, and use your forum handle when you post your review.

The PPA (Poker Players Alliance) have been fighting hard since 2006 for the rights of USA poker players. American poker online has definitely felt some bad effects since the UIGEA, and more recently the US online poker 2011 DOJ indictment, but there have been some online poker rooms that have fought back. Online poker rooms such as Doyles Room constantly switched networks until they found one that would allow for the real money transactions of US players. Just where will online poker end up for USA players? Only time will tell, but the PPA and other organizations are fighting hard for the rights of poker players and American poker online.
