Can US Players Play Real Money Poker Online?

Question…

Are citizens of the United States aloud to exchange in real money poker games online?

Answer…

Currently you’re aloud to play for real money online if you’re a US citizen as long as you don’t reside in one of the eleven states which currently has it banned. The eleven states that have banned online gambling are as followed.

• Illinois
• Indiana
• Louisiana
• Michigan
• Nevada
• New Jersey
• New York
• Oregon
• South Dakota
• Washington
• Wisconsin

There was a law which passed in 2006 banning US financial institutions from accepting US citizen’s deposits and withdrawls on online gambling sites.

It also made it illegal for online casinos to accept money from US financial institutions which caused most online casinos to leave the US market. Some online casinos still do allow US players but you’ll need to use a unique method of making payments and withdrawls.
