Best Poker Sites Allowing US Players

Since the UIEGA (Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act) in 2006, which lead PartyPoker and other large poker sites to leave the USA, the situation for US players hasn’t got much better. In 2011, PokerStars, Full Tilt and Absolute/Ultimate Bet were closed down by the Department of Justince. While PokerStars was able to continue in the US market, since then it offers only play money games. And when Full Tilt will be back online in the United States, also this room will only offer play money games.

But there are a few alternatives. A handful of poker sites still accept US players on their real money tables. Of course these sites cannot be compared to Stars or FTP in terms of traffic (in particular on higher limits), but they are at least an alternative to play poker online for real money.
