I can't download the client to look at traffic without registering. Is anyone else able to see what kind of traffic is in the lobby?

Looking at the Help/About - it is apart of the HeroPokerNetwork, which I have never heard of but goggle shows results for the network and other sites such as bigpondpoker also never heard of it..

Is it really impossible to play online for real money in the US, or is there a way around it?

Really, ... if not a level .. there are sights do a little research then think it is rigged.

Any good ones?

Looking at Poker Player Cafe and a couple others.

Any decent/safe ones?

If you had to chose between Minted Poker or Cake Poker which would you choose?

Also, since I can't get rake back on Bodog or Carbon/ Lock Poker, do they have good promotions that would make it worth it? Does either of these sites Run good multi-table tourneys cause I've been spoiled by Tilt's great tournaments.

Cake Poker is shady - see the stickied thread in this forum about them stealing from a 2+2 player.

I've never played on either, but since Cake steals, I'd go with Minted, which I've seen a couple of good and no significant negative posts/threads about.

What site is the safest place for US players to play right now, if any? I noticed Carbon and a lot of websites aren't offering US players to make accounts right now - are any websites? I searched around but there just seem like so many options I don't know where to begin

EDit: I am an idiot, found thread on page 2 - plz delete

Which is best for big MTTs and SNGs? That is still accepting NEW us players

Just wait on Merge otherwise Bodog or Mint Poker

how long is this wait going to be? a few days?

Anyone have experience with this site? Im American and really want to find a decent site that's easy to deposit and withdraw

Kind of a weak move by mods to move the BetOnline thread in here.

Nobody was aware of it before; surely no one will become aware of it now, as it is buried with a million repetitive questions about Cake, Merge, Bodog, Yatahay and Everleaf.

It seems that many rooms are allowed their own thread in the zoo. Why not BetOnline? I think you guys are missing the point of merging threads on this one.

Don't you think a thread titled "Where Can US Players Play?" is exactly the right thread for it?

No one was interested in your stand-alone thread. Now it will be read by everyone looking for the sites where they might play.

Why don't you give a review?
