Are sites that most Americans can use sites that non-Americans can't use?

If you are in UK for example, can you join BetOnline ACR, ignition etc and play for the real money or is it that there are only sites that either are for USA states other than Nevada and New Jersey or there are not?

P.S. Don't try to be witty and bring up a Sharia law nation or a nation like Australia which has same laws now as most of USA and outlaws most poker sites due to banning deals made with banks for cheaper transfers.

There is no simple answer for this. I travel to the UK for work often.

For the UK:

Ignition / Bovada / bodog / Bodog88: No
ACR / BCP: No
BetOnline / Sportsbook: Yes, they seem to take players from everywhere, but I don't think they are licensed in the UK. So this is a grey area.

Many shady things are possible using VPNs and bitcoins, but I don't recommend it.

There are countries other than the US where Ignition / Bovada / Bodog / Bodog88 and ACR/BCP are available.

Speaking as a Canadian, I can play on every US site (ACR, BetOnline, etc.) plus many more that US players cannot. We are very blessed in canada for online poker.

I assume this would apply to most nations then like African, Asian, South/Latin American yeah?

I know that now Australia has switched its laws to match USA

Bodog88 serves some Asian countries.

Bodog serves some Latin American countries.

On ACR you can see where a player is from by clicking on their name on the table. I see players from brazil, Russia, Ukraine, Greece, South Africa, and probably other places that I don't remember.

So really the only way to answer this question is country by country, site by site.

UK can play ACR/BCP

I have been told differently by UK players. But you seem to be in the UK, and a firsthand source is better than second-hand knowledge. So I apologize for the error.

I assume they are not licensed, so it is a grey area, similar to BetOnline?

As far as I know they are licensed over here they have an EU address, registered in Cyprus.

All can use

The sites that Americans can play on are sites that anyone can play on. Having a good mix of people makes for a better poker game.
