Poker Sites

Poker sites update:

Since this page was first written in 2007, the face of online poker has changed beyond all recognition. The main reason for the change was of course the US government's ban on online poker, a decision which has changed the face of the game for ever.

People have lost their businesses, lost their jobs, lost their homes, not because they have lost at poker online, but because the US ban has killed off a large part of the online poker world.

However although it is down, it has never been out and poker online is flourishing in certain places where it is still legal, and indeed some poker sites are still serving American customers. There is extensive rumour that there may yet be a turnaround in attitude by the new US administration and online poker may again be allowed - we live in hope.

So while some of the details below have changed, major sites like UB (Ultimate Bet), Full Tilt Poker and Absolute Poker are still going strong. We will be updating this page to reflect the changes, please check back!

Poker sites are growing in number every month, there's a constant increase in places you can go to play poker online. Almost everywhere you look there is a new poker website starting up trying to get in on the act, but unfortunately they aren't all as they seem.
