Don't tell but I have been playing again for years....actually probably longer.. I don't view it as illegal as an American with rights,,,I don't get the "its ok one minute" and not the next...who is the maker of this law that affects no one but the person making the choice to play the game....poker being against the law is like marijuana being against the law...and video poker or pull tabs are ok but a real poker game online or live is unlawful in one state and not the next or whatever....personal choices that only affect the chooser should not really be governed in such a way...sorry...went on a bit of a rant with that one.
hit the button at the top that says US sites...there are 7 or 8 there...and even more than that...full flush is newer site with solid freerolls, fairly easy bonus to clear...a $125 buy in gets the best deal...its gaining popularity....awesome value in its gtd tourneys....with reasonable fields...a solid place to get reacquainted with online.

There are many sites still accepting U.S. players as other have said. I would suggest before you deposit anywhere, that you do some diligent research on the site you are considering. The last thing you want is to end up choosing to play at Lock, and making a deposit there. Why, you ask? It's because there are players that have been waiting over a year for a cashout.. Guess what I'm saying is AVOID Lock like the plague.

But isn't PS, FT and party poker still the better sites to play?

Does anyone know if there are realtime, or some what accurate of traffic trackers? I am on Carbon now. But when I get my FTP payout may change sites. I want to find the site with the most players, and best payout reviews.
Thanks

Bavada , I was there in the states when Black Friday happened, after that I played continuously on bovada with prepaid cards and cashed out checks with no issues. One time I had a little trouble clearing 1k but that was resolved with another check in the mail. The only issue I had was finding the right card to deposit.

Carbon , Bovada , Full Flush Poker , many others all would be better than poker stars with Regulation and increased traffic that regulation would allow...

never even heard of full flush poker. the issue is not what sites allow americans, it doesn't mean much when they can't get over 1000 people in traffic...bovada is the best option but even that isn't the same. if your only downtime is during the night then you pretty much have to play whatever is filling up. doesnt have large tournaments unless it is the weekend. carbon I think is crappy. the sit and goes the last time I played were hyper turbo. That was all that ever filled up

Stork, it seems like all your posts about poker stars is negative, in poker stars defense i have to say they have been the most honest site out there, how many sites buy another, like full-tilt, and pay the players that got bamboozled by full-tilt? Poker stars also made immediate payment to it's American patrons after being hassled by the DOJ. Can you point out ANY other sites that did the same? Most just closed shop, kept the players funds and faded into obscurity. Then you have Bovada, the spin off of Bodog, operated by Calvin Eyre, who is wanted by ICE and on the lam in Antigua, or was his last known whereabouts. At least Bodog and now Bovada pays the players in a timely manner with hardly any issues with the checks. Poker was not the issue with ICE, it was the sportsbetting side and questionable payment processors i think. As for American players getting back on the felt, it's hard to say now that the politicos have an issue to exploit, depends on how many votes they figure they can count on and buy, and if there's enough potential votes out there to worry about consideration of it to start with, and of course how much money they can extract from it.

Yes I think I have an issue with one site having such a monopoly on poker. They may be the biggest and fair in their dealings , but I still would rather see four or five networks running neck and neck to get our business . I also would like the secure feeling local regulation would afford . Poker Stars has a good reputation , but they need some healthy competition . This keeps most businesses on the ball and i fear poker Stars believe they have a monopoly.
