United States Poker Sites

Is US Online Poker Legal? Though United States poker sites / US poker sites aren't exactly abundant at the moment there are still some of the highest quality / best poker sites for US players for real money, available. Whether the current selection of US online poker sites for US players will continue to accept USA players, depends on the future legal issues of online poker in the United States of America. The passing of UIGEA (Unlawful Internet Gaming Enforcement Act) was aimed at financial institutions and calls for them to block transfers to (deposits) and from (withdrawals) from US online poker sites.

The UIGEA act is being challenged by several groups including iMEGA (The Interactive Media Entertainment & Gaming Association) who have filed for a restraining order on the enforcement of the act until the pending court challenge on the constitutionality of the act. If they are successful then it will be great news for real money US poker sites & players from the USA / United States and online casino players alike as it could pave the way for more USA legal poker sites online / new US poker sites for US players (and casinos) to re-enter the U.S. market. There are also calls for regulation in order to open up United States online poker, license the operators and raise revenue through taxation, at the end of the day the only reason the Government tried to ban US online poker was because there is real US money trading hands and they aren't getting their slice of the pie!

Notice: Online Poker US Players - Please remember there are still plenty of legal real money US poker sites accepting US players!
