US Poker Sites - USA Players Accepted Online Poker Rooms

As you may be aware a new gambling bill passed on the 30th Sept06 and as a result most of the top sites like Party Poker now NO LONGER ACCEPT PLAYERS FROM THE US to play real money.

I Very Highly recommend you try out Bodog Poker as they have the most ways of depositing like Instant Check / eChecks, Credit Cards, Wire Trf, Money Transfer (Western Union), Rapid Transfer (MoneyGram) and eWalletXpress, I also find games easier due to the fact loads of Bodogs casino / sportbook players like to have a go at poker.

Here's a full list of Safe US Poker Accepted Deposit Options.

Im hearing that EcoCard will be pulling out from the US market although they are going to do what Click2pay did, which is not pull out completly, they will just offer their service to existing EcoCard holders and not accept any new ones.
"Im disappointed by this really as i had high hopes for EcoCard, although it was always used more at online casinos, then poker rooms."

12 July 2007
Well, nothing has happened so far, from what i have heard the regulations might be released later this month, however IMEGA group might put a delay to the enforcment for several months, so i guess we just wait and see.
"They always say no news is good news."

09 July 2007
Well tomorrow is the day of reckoning, its the day UIGEA is to be enforced and the regulations announced (it will be 270 days since UIGEA was signed into law).
"Lets just hope the regulations dont come out tomorrow and they annouce a delay for at least several months due to the complexities of card processing filtering, the card processors fighting back, the IMEGA lawsuite and the Barney Frank bill."

13 June 2007
Thought this might be of interest to some that more and more online gambling sites are stopping Players from Canada gambling online since Neteller stopped accepting their transactions - I received an email from casino blasters group who anounced they will no longer take Canadian players, their casinos include Golden Palace, OnlineCasino.com, GrandOnlineCasino, plus many more.
"I dont like it when more and more sites reject players even though their is no law against it."

13 June 2007

Fantastic Neteller News for US Residents.....NETeller said today in a statement "U.S. customers will be able to access their NETeller accounts online for a certain time and make a request for their funds. No interest on account balances will be paid".

Well, just thought i would remind everyone that theres only around 7 weeks left untill UIGEA has to be enforced :(  Hopefully it will get delayed for a few months, but its only wishfull thinking.
"UIGEA will make it illegal for banks and financial processors to process payments to online gambling sites (thats not taxed in the US) - This law does not effect players - just the financial institutions"

25 May 2007
Dream Poker emailed us to say they no longer accept US Poker (they used to allow the 40 states which do not have laws making it illegal to gamble online.
"Its always a shame when sites drop US players, although Dream Poker were never really that big"

15 May 2007
It seems Full Tilt Poker and stopped / suspended MyWebATM as a depositing option - we didnt receive an email from full tilt, but one of our readers informed that this option was no longer in the cashier.
"I have a feeling this is only temporary as i had a few emails from readers that they have had some problems with MyWebATM, so i guess Full Tilt have temp stopped them untill these problems are resolved"

13 April 2007
Poker.com have added ePassporte as a depositing Method for US Poker players.
"This is good as alot of people have an ePassporte account now and Poker.com did lack in the depositing methods US Poker Sites"

26 March 2007
Neteller have said they are not taking anymore customers from Canada and Turkey and in April they will not be able to use their account for online gambling related activities.
"I find this a very odd move for neteller as all the major online brands like partypoker, williamhill, ladbrokes, 888.com etc are still taking bets from players in Canada and Turkey, usa slots" 

21 March 2007
Bodog Poker has told me they are offering "Instant Check" deposit method also known as eChecks.
"Well i love Bodog, this is just one of the reasons why, they work hard to provide the best service possible, such as being THE ONLY gaming company who accepts USA players to have this depositing method, which is my favourite to use"

Little Rant By Internet-Poker.co.uk about the US Poker Ban

Well, I find this unreal, how can people be told what they can and cant do with their own hard earned money in their spare time ?

So its ok to take a drive to your local casino and play poker or have a few friends over to play a few games for money, but its not ok to play online ? . . . . . Why is this, because the US government are not collecting any taxes, like they do from land based casinos, lotteries or horse tracks etc etc.

You wait and see what the USA will do in time, now they try to ban US residents from playing at online poker rooms, then in a few years and some strong lobbying from land based casinos, you will find they will legalise it, BUT only land based casinos or American online poker companies will be allowed to enter the US Poker Sites / Gambling market because the government wont mind as they will be collecting plenty of $$$ from taxes and licenses.

I love America and have many family members living their, but the passing of the "Port Security Act" with online gambling restrictions attatched to it was unbelivable and basically a Two fingures up to the public saying we can pass whatever law we like, even if there wasnt a vote on it or it was what the public wanted.
