Just wondering what site is the best for U.S. players.
I have money from freerolls in bodog, Fulltilt, and pokerstars.
My questions is about depositing and cashing out, what site is best and/or easiest from people's experience. Thanks.

Pokerstars is the gold standard for customer service. Full Tilt I like and have never had any issues with. BoDog has loose players but has sportsbook too. Downside is cashouts tend to take at least 15 business day to recieve.

Cardschat has a list of the best poker sites for US players.

thats funny you say my acc. at pokerstars is frzoen cause my old roomate owes them money and now they have told me because of the "close relationship" my acc. is frozen until he pays them...and they are telling me that they are helping me but what they want is for me to tell him to call them a big mess and i am very dissapointed with jokerstars.....looks like carbon and full tilt will get my action now

I don't think there is a question who is best when it comes to service: Pokerstars hands down. FT is decent but not as helpful from my experience. If you are going from freeroll winnings I would say Pokerstars easy since you probably don't have a huge BR.

Pokerstars has the major edge on stakes + service, go with them

Pokerstars or Bodog are both great sites.

my credit card doesnt work on pokerstars, or fulltilt, so I only play on bodog. I like bodog the best anyway. cash outs take a while, but at lest you get them. I always get a check

With Pokerstars, you can deposit straight from your bank account.

I tried that a while back, nothing work, no credit card, no bank account, must be my bank, bodog on the other hand takes visa debt cards, and they have a casino and my brother in law loves the casino.

I like PS better then FT. Customer Service is A LOT faster then FT. The games are better and there's better players.

FT has some good MTTs, but no where near PS.

Bodog is a joke, ugly look..weak players and just an overall bad poker site. They want to be more Hollywood then poker.

Question for 1Fernandez1...How can your friend owe Pokerstars money?

And a thought occurs to me... Perhaps he deposited with a credit card or check or something and the funds weren't actually there?

I prefer the action in cake, they have some of the best freerolls in their other skins with sportsbeeting, and I love their satellites. If you love ring games, you'll love the gold cards that you can sometimes trade in for special tournaments or instant cash. However, because of the obstacles with online poker and the U.S., it takes 1-2 months, let's assume 2 months, to get a check. They had problems before, sending out checks that weren't cashable, so as far as customer service goes, from personal experience, I think the cake network is probably one of the worst. More specifically, I'm talking about sportsbook. Cake may have some third party forwarding account with the usual 10% fee that might be quicker and more reliable. I can't really say about any other site since I never cashed out on any other site :( However, I do believe those who support pokerstars since I know, when I asked them how to deposit since my credit cards didn't work, they searched for several options for me, and even tried to locate a retail store that may have prepaid visa cards that may work for me, and they explained how it was unethical for them to label their company with a fictitious name when doing the credit card processing. I had to do this over the phone, and although I'm sure I was talking to foreign people with fake american names, I still could understand them!

At Absolute poker you can receive your money in like 2 days with the overnight package...it cost you money to get but it is fast....i believe they have the fastest cashout in the game, and they always pay!
