Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions govern your use of this website and explain how our content, rankings and commercial relationships work. By browsing this site or using any information published here, you accept the terms set out below. If you don't agree with them, please don't continue using the site.

What this site does and doesn't do

Poker is an independent comparison and review resource covering online poker sites and apps available to players in the {{ COUNTRY }}. We are not a poker operator, we do not accept deposits, we do not run games, and we do not process any real-money wagers. Nothing on this site is a licensed gambling service — it is editorial content designed to help you compare the operators listed under our rankings, including sites such as Coinpoker, Bovada, Stake, Ignition and others featured on this page.

Any decision to sign up with, deposit to, or play on a third-party poker site is between you and that operator, subject to their own terms, licensing and support channels. We have no control over how those sites operate once you leave our pages.

How our rankings and reviews are put together

Our editorial ratings reflect our own research into factors such as game variety, traffic and player pool, deposit and withdrawal options, bonus terms, mobile app quality and licensing status. Ratings are assigned independently of any commercial arrangement — a brand's position on this site is never for sale, and paying us commission does not buy a better score or a higher ranking.

That said, we are transparent about how we're funded: if you click through from this site and sign up with an operator, we may earn an affiliate commission. This does not cost you anything extra, and it does not change the price or terms you're offered. It's simply how independent comparison sites like this one stay running. Our full approach to fairness and operator vetting is set out on our Trust & Fair Play page.

Bonus and promotion terms shown on this site

Where we display a headline offer — for example a deposit match, welcome bonus or promotional credit — that figure comes directly from the operator and is subject to change without notice. Welcome bonuses typically carry conditions such as minimum deposits, playthrough or wagering requirements, time limits to clear the bonus, and restrictions on which games count toward clearing it. We do our best to note material conditions alongside any offer we mention, but you should always confirm the current terms directly on the operator's own site before depositing, since promotions can be updated, withdrawn or restricted by state at any time.

No bonus, promotion or feature described on this site guarantees any outcome, and none should be treated as free money — real funds, deposits or wagers are usually required to qualify or to unlock any credited amount.

Age, eligibility and legal use of this site

This site is intended strictly for adults who are of legal gambling age in their state of residence and who are permitted to access real-money poker under applicable law. Most regulated states set the minimum age at 21; a small number permit access from 18. You are responsible for confirming the minimum age and legal status of online poker in your own state before acting on anything published here.

Online poker in the US is regulated on a state-by-state basis — there is no single federal framework — so availability, licensing and the specific operators you can legally use vary depending on where you live. Nothing on this site should be read as confirming that a particular operator is licensed or legal in your specific state; always verify current licensing directly with the operator before signing up.

No guarantee of winnings

Poker is a game that combines skill and chance, and no amount of research, strategy or site selection removes the possibility of losing money. Nothing published on this site — including our rankings, reviews or bonus comparisons — implies or guarantees that you will win, profit, or recover money already lost. We do not present poker as a source of income, and you should never wager more than you can comfortably afford to lose.

If gambling stops being enjoyable, starts affecting your finances, relationships or wellbeing, or if you find yourself chasing losses, help is available through the National Council on Problem Gambling helpline at 1-800-GAMBLER. Our Responsible Gambling page has further resources, including state-specific self-exclusion programs, which we fully respect and never encourage readers to work around.

Accuracy and changes to content

We research and verify the details we publish — licensing status, bonus terms, payment methods and similar facts — as of the date each page was last updated, shown at the top of this page. Operators can and do change their terms, promotions, licensing arrangements and product offerings without warning, so figures and conditions may no longer be current by the time you read them. Always check the operator's own site for the latest terms before making any deposit or gameplay decision.

We may update, correct or remove content on this site at any time without prior notice, including rankings, reviews and these terms themselves. Continued use of the site after changes are published means you accept the revised terms.

Limitation of liability

We provide this content on an "as is" basis and make no warranty that it is complete, error-free or suitable for any particular purpose. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of this site or from your dealings with any third-party operator listed here, including losses connected to deposits, withdrawals, bonus terms or gameplay on those sites.
