US Poker Sites
The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) was passed in 2006 in an attempt to stop players funding their online poker accounts. This act forced many online poker rooms to leave the US market, most notably PartyPoker which prior to the UIGEA was the largest online poker room in the world. As well as poker sites withdrawing from the US market, payment processors such as Neteller and PayPal also withdrew from the US.
Despite this, poker sites such as PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker remained open to US players and dramatically grew in size because they are the best options for US poker players. Below you can find the best poker rooms which accept US poker players as well as some information about each room and the bonus you will receive if you join.
