With the recent developments in online poker, there are many online poker players from the Unite States who are looking for places to play.
I would like to start by quoting a lawyer in regard to the legal ramifications of playing poker online if you are from the US.
Here is the statement:
Players who use the sites can’t be prosecuted under federal law and the U.S. states that have laws against making bets rarely use them against “mere customers,” said I. Nelson Rose, an Encino, California-based consultant to governments and industry on gambling laws.
“I’d say there’s a probably a better chance that they’ll win the World Series of Poker than that they will be arrested,” Rose, who doesn’t work for any of the companies named in the indictment, said today in a phone interview.
With that being said, I believe there are still some good options for US based online poker players.
Doyle’s Room
One site that still accepts players from the United States is Doyle’s Room. This is the only site online where you can play against the legendary Doyle Brunson. They have a weekly bounty tournamet where you can win up to $25,000 for knocking out pro and celebrity bounties. The normal deposit bonus is 110% up to $500 but if you use our bonus code ULTIMATE you can get up to $600 free. I have been assured that Doyle’s Room will continue to accept US players. In addition, they have stated that deposits, transfers, and withdrawals will be processed normally.
PDC Poker – Carbon Poker – Aced Poker
The network which includes PDC Poker, Carbon Poker and Aced Poker continue to accept players from the United States. Theses sites are known for having some of the best freeroll tournaments online. They are giving new players a 100% bonus up to $600. I have spoken with management at all these rooms and they have stated that they will continue to accept new signups from US based players. Also, they have said that deposits, transfers, and withdrawals are being processed as normal.

Cake Poker
Cake Poker has also stated that they will continue to accept new player signups from players residing in the United States. You can get a 110% bonus up to $600 on your first real money deposit. Cake Poker has told me that all funds from US players are safe. They will continue to process deposits, transfers and withdrawals for US players.
Lock Poker
I have spoken with management at Lock Poker and they have said that it is business as usual. That means that they will continue to accept new signups from US based poker players. They have a huge bonus offer – 200% up to $1,200.
Black Friday may have taken away PokerStars an Full Tilt, but dont panic. There are still options for playing poker online if you reside in the United States.
