I used to play online all the time on pokerstars and Full Tilt. Ever since that fateful day when the lights went out in the US for online poker players, now I have no where to play?

I've looked up a few sites but not sure where to deposit some money. So whats the best sites for US Players that have a good payback and are legit. I've been out of the game for many months. Any info would be great.

Cheers!

I play at Black Chip Poker and Lock which are both on the Merge network...since Black Friday I just play micro stakes so thats all I can speak for. You can use a credit card at LockPoker so its fast and easy. Bovada is the old bodog and the play is very soft, they gave me $25 dollars and I ran it up to $130 in about a week playing 02/05, terrrible players but the soft ware sucks and everybody is anonymous...you can't tile tables although it offers it. You can cascade them but when its your turn to play the table pops forward and on a few occasions when I meant to raise the table changed and I folded and when I meant to fold I ended up calling. Once I had AA in a tourney and I folded as I attempted to raise and on two occasions when I had flopped a set the table changed and I folded...beyond frustrating. Go with LockPoker....good luck.

I'm in the same boat as you. I couldn't deposit anywhere, but had a friend get me money on Cake. After spending months on Cake, let me tell you, it sucks. I would not play there. There are barely any games and support sucks, supposedly it takes 3-5 months to withdraw, and min withdraw is $500.

The merge network is the most popular place for Americans, that includes Carbon, Lock, and Black Chip. They actually have 10k people online most of the time and they run tourneys and sngs regularly. Also, lots more cash games running.

I'd recommend Merge. I haven't tried the really small sites.

Finding a legit poker room sometimes trail and error as well... it what you feel comfortable playing at.

America's Cardroom (formerly Doyle's) is still alive. I still have money there and play a bit. But there's no telling when the feds will swoop down on any room at this point.
Oh, and Bovada? I just got a message that they closed my account and forfeited my $9 of freeroll money, didn't even realize it had been Bodog. I was thinking it was nothing I should click on. :)

This topic has been extensively discussed on this forums in the "poker room" section and you can do a little bit of research and find all the information that you need.

I live in the US and I have deposited to ACR and Bovada. Havent made any withdrawals yet but I hear those two sites are the fastest for withdrawals. People also say Carbon is a good site.

1) Bovada is NOT available to players outside of the USA.
2) Bodog is NOT available to players outside of canada.
3) Bodog88 services SOME of Asia (I can't for the life of me get anyone to give me a comprehensive list of countries allowed).
4) There are NO transfers on The Bodog Network due to Antigua regulations.
