A tough poker question this week. Let’s dive straight in
Question: i used to play on pokerstars.net but all the major poker cites got taken down for usa players. Is it illegal no matter what poker cite you play on? anyone know of any that i can play on that are legit , and legal.
Answer: The only thing that is illegal about playing online right now is using your own bank account or credit card to fund your online casino account some people might say otherwise but if you read the full UIGEA it doesn’t target the player specifically, just the banks involved.
I used to play on pokerstars too so I’ve had to find some other sites & I like http://newtiltpoker.com they keep it updated so as the poker sites are pulling out of the US market they take them off.. Also… bodog is still accepting US players until the end of the year & then is closing their market. but Cake poker & poker view are still online and haven’t issued any statements as far as shutting down.

what do you mean when you say legit? You mean that you can win real money from it? It is not impossible to earn money playing poker online, I have found that this has been answered here already.

USA residents can still play at:
Bodog
Cake
True Poker
Everleaf network (Minted Poker, etc)
BetOnline (new)
PKR
…and a few others. There is no federal law against online gambling that affects individuals. However some states to have laws against it.
Congress may legalize online poker soon, subject to special licensing arrangements.
