US Players Poker Sites

Hi everyone,
After reading a good bit of these threads, I notice many do not have to suffer looking for sites that accept US players. I am happy for ya werent wish that burden on anyone.
I have deleted the sites that dont accept US players, since I dont need them clogging my lap top (lol) and dont plan to hold my breath that the situation will change. I do however continue to look for sites that do accept US players.
If any of you know of any I appreciate passing those sites on this post.
I consider my self a reasonable poker opponent with my share of good and bad plays; lol Good luck on the Felt

Hey zarrmonster,I know there are more but I just whittled it down to 4, Feltstars and carbon,they have grown by leaps and bounds,I've had money in bodog since they first started just never bothered to take it out, but I play there once in awhile,and cake I've had a little stash there to,but I mostly play feltstars and carbon, pretty much slim pickens since it all went down the tubes!!!

US Players

I hear ya, I play on those you have mentioned and have a small stash on each. Thanks for your input

Networks many with multiple skins ....

Merge
Cake
Everleaf
Yatahay
Bodog

Whether you can create an account or only open to existing accounts varies. I've only tried to create an account on a Cake skin post black friday.

Is LOCK a safe place to play? Played there a few times seems a little "off".

I am very satisfied with bodog poker! Try it out!

I'm a big Carbon fan these days myself. The population/skill level will never quite be at Full Tilt or pokerstars level but it is a good replacement. Just be careful of the Double-or-Nothings. They seem tempting but can drain a BR quickly!

Good luck out there, see you at the felt.

I play 3 tables each night. Bodog, Cake and Merge. I switch off each night between Feltstars and Carbon. Play the CC freeroll on Wed nights when I am available. I have accounts on intertops and one other cake skin but have no money on either so I don't bother with them. Gave up on new Doyles site, don't like it ...at all.

At the same time you visit these sites remember to review their withdrawal processes because merge has a seriously long processing time. 6 weeks for sportsbook/playeraces, carbon hs sizeable withdrawal amount. I don't like the new one betonline poker.

Carbon is about the best US site right now. I really hope the US Gov works it out with Stars, but I probably have a better chance of hoping for Jack Daniels to rain from the sky.

I appreciate the US availability and I do play the freeroll system on Lock. It's the only one I've downloaded since black friday. But it seems as if something offered ONLY to US players would place more value on the legality within the US. I'm not saying I don't want to play with people from the other countries, I liked being able to get on and have a game on stars in the middle of the night or as I got ready for the day. But does anyone know anything about a site exclusively for US players? Or one opening soon? I don't know about yall but I'd feel more comfortable putting money on one that was relying completely on the US. Does that make sense?

So from my research, (both here and by trying to sign up) I've come to the conclusion that only betonline, bodog, and cake, are still accepting new US players. If I'm wrong please tell me, would love to have more options.

Betonline's software is still very glitchy, I got autofolded out of a freeroll that I was very close to cashing in.

Bodog has no freerolls at all that I can see.

Cake has only the satellite to the $1000 freeroll (only top 7 get ticket, so very hard to cash in it)

And of course there is the deposit problem with all of them, thus the freeroll in the first place.
BTW, if anyone knows a good way for US players to deposit that still works, let me in on the secret. BTW I've already searched the site and tried everything I can think of.

do beleive the merge network is close to opening up new reg for usa players very soon so look into some of those sites also

sure seems less and less are offering .. sucks.

really wish i would have made an account at carbon prior to black friday i've been seeing and hearing of a lot of good freerolls on there... i wonder if i could make an account saying im from a dif country then just change my address haha.. this is probably illegal and i won't try it but ya.. i just think its dumb that they won't accept any new US players

I found another one I heard is Merge which is all in poker.. I signed up or at least it allowed me to sign up .. havent made a deposit though. I was lucky enough to get accounts on sportsbook. lock, betonline and cake.

I have not had any problems with intertops poker. I have deposited and withdrawn money from their site. The only thing that is tough is finding good gtd. mtts to play...traffic sucks

Hey,

There are a few others that are still accepting US players. I have accounts at all of the US sites and play on most of them with atleast some frequency.

Minted Poker(Everleaf Network) is missing from you list. They actually have some of the best and fastest Cashouts of any of the US sites. They offer good value with RakeBack and a Deposit bonus along with lots of site promotions including Freeroll Steps right now.

True Poker(Yatahay Network) is also missing. They also offer RB and a deposit bonus. They also have fast Cashouts and I've recieved multiple checks since Black Friday all in less than 2 weeks from the time I requested them till the time I had them in my hand. They also have freerolls all day on Fridays this month for those that may want to build a bankroll from Freerolls.

The sites above don't have the most traffic, but they are still good options with some very nice promotions. You can always play at both to make sure you can get enough tables running.

how big are the freerolls?

Never heard of mint poker or true poker, better read the reviews and ask about these sites. New sites are always suspect. Maybe I'm being paranoia, maybe it is a safe. All I'm saying is if u never heard of a site research it.

These sites are NOT new and are pretty reputable actually.

True Poker is backed by the Sportsbook BetCris and has very large pockets. They are on the Yatahay Network along with Sportsbook sites like Bookmaker and 5dimes. They are have very deep pockets because they are backed by BetCris. They have been around for years. They do not have a lot of traffic currently, but it is a reputable Site and well known site. True Poker offers RakeBack and Deposit Bonus. They are running Freerolls through the month of August.

Minted Poker is on the Everleaf Network and it is the largest skin, or close to the largest, skin on the Everleaf Network. They have also been around for years. They are reputable and have a license with the Malta Lottery and Gaming commission, which is one of the best license available. The license requires all funds to be segregated similar to poker stars. Minted Poker offers RakeBack and Deposit Bonus along with a lot of other promotions. They are also offering the Free Step Freerolls for a limited time.

I've received multiple Cashouts from both of these sites and would recommend them. If you have specific questions, please feel free to ask.

BTW, I think it's ALWAYS good to do your research on any room your considering. I always look into every room very thoroughly and spend a lot of time researching the various rooms.

They range from $50-$150 and are running hourly on Fridays.

wow thanks for the info Grind4moneyz. I will definitely look into the 2 sites you mentions. Its not like US players have loads of options to choose from.
And I am really glad I made the post. It has generated in put.

Bodog

Bodog poker seems to be something fishy with that system. Its either I run really good or extremely bad. Right now, im on a huge downswing which cost me 2/3 of my BR. I miss FT so bad.

so in everyones honest opinion .. which site offers the MOST amount of trafffic.. I miss the FTP days ...... most I have seen so far and why I ask is Merge which high it is running about 7k
