US Friendly Poker Sites

URGENT UPDATE: Several online poker rooms have suspended US operations. Until the status of player balances and available games becomes clearer we are redirecting their links to other operational poker rooms. We will update this page as soon as more information becomes available.

In the meantime we recommend that players visit our US poker room reviews page for a list of all sites still available to US players, including our top-rated site Sportsbook Poker.

With the online poker market clearly separated by the issue of whether or not to accept American players, finding a US friendly poker site is essential for playing real money poker in the USA. Fortunately, the major US departures are a thing of the past and there are numerous poker sites that are both US friendly and easy to work with in terms of deposits.

Despite the curious fascination of the US government to restrict online gaming, players have plenty of choices when looking for a US friendly poker site. While the largest poker rooms in terms of player count may offer the best all-around playing experience, US players may wish to sacrifice the number of available games for banking conveniences and a poorer player base.

Below we list the most current and up-to-date collection of US friendly poker sites. All of the following sites accept players from the USA and many offer special deposit bonuses for our US visitors.

TOP CHOICE
Sportsbook Poker is our current top choice for USA players looking for US friendly poker sites. Sportsbook Poker is clearly committed to the US market as they opened after the UIGEA and only allow US players. This is also one of the few US friendly poker sites that will process all credit cards block-free.

Besides accepting all US credit cards, Sportsbook Poker probably has some of the loosest tables online. Our new Sportsbook Poker players receive a 110% deposit bonus with 10% coming as instant cash.
