US Poker Rooms
As a result of Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act signed in 2006 many online poker rooms stopped accepting US players and any wagers from US residents are illegal in case the gambling activity violates the local laws. This law makes poker sites liable for accepting any funds connected with illegal gambling activities. Thus with the aim to avoid any legal problems most poker rooms closed their doors for American visitors. However, there are still online casinos those that offer slots games, blackjack computer simulators and roulette games to US players.
Online poker rooms listed here still accept US wagers and provide the number of deposit methods available for US players. Choosing any of the top US-friendly poker rooms you are able to make deposits and withdraw funds from the United States and play online poker legally. In addition, most of these poker rooms provide Mac-compatible software which is a great advantage for US players. Remember that at all US poker rooms you will meet the players from Europe, Asia, South America etc. while PlayersOnly is open for Americans only.
There are few things that are so unpardonably neglected in our country as poker. The upper class knows very little about poker. Now and then you find ambassadors who have sort of a general knowledge of poker, but the ignorance of the people is fearful. Why, I have known clergymen, good men, kind-hearted, liberal, sincere, and all that, who did not know the meaning of a "flush". It is enough to make one ashamed of the species.
