Where can US players play? - First post updated Jan '23 - Page 83 - Online Poker Sites -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Is Intertops the most reputable site then? I only played on Pokerstars and Full Tilt. I'm in Illinois. Just want to play like $10 sng's or tournies. Do the sites accept paypal? I doubt my bank will allow straight up deposits.

Intertops is a very reputable choice. It has segregated itself from the non-liquid operators on the network though, and is suffering due to this player pool segregation. At $10 level you'll still have access to many games, but be aware that all MTTs with > 1k guarantee have been removed (the other skins weren't paying their share). Intertops is also invitation only.

You can not deposit via PayPal. You'll be limited to CC, WU/MG, or P2P deposits.

Intertops has been around for a long time. They started as sports betting. I just think they see the long term in it.

Sigh, wonder what things are like at Stars/FullTilt these days on the Limit front...

Hey Dan, I am a limit hold 'em guy from back in the day. I used to play on Planet poker and Poker.com in the late 90's, then I made the move over to Party, UB, and True Poker. Limit action was great back then, an average player like myself would actually have a nice session every now and again.

However, in the last couple of years I have moved over to the dark side, and started playing NL. I have even started playing MTT's recently. So yea, I do miss the good ol' days of online limit hold 'em.

If you're a grinder, Americas Cardroom on the WPN network just announced that they're getting rid of their bad beat jackpot September 1st and instead the fees will go towards feeding The Beast which is their rake race and cash. Good for multiple table grinders.

Ooh, ooh, I'm so excited!!!

Seriously though, you might want to provide a little more information if you want some help. Most people aren't likely to scroll through all of your other posts in this thread; I assume that after already doing some reading and getting some answers, you must have a few key criteria that you're down to.

Why don't the US accepted poker networks attract players from other countries? When I play on Merge, I feel like EVERYONE is from US. (by highlighting their name).

I play a little Bovada, but obviously we can't tell where players are from there

they do attract some of the bumhunter type players (the guys who sit 50 tables across 10 sites), but in general players in other countries have much better networks to play on - with better deposits and cashouts, bigger player pool, more games, higher rb %, etc. so it makes sense that they would choose those better options.

I play on Carbon, so if you lose it there I would appreciate it.

Enough asking for invitations. The first rule of Fight Club is...

OK guys.
Thanks Bobo for your delicate hint

I do know some reputable players so I think I will get into the Fight Club lol

This invitation system makes Intertops more desirable imo.

1) I have Bovada installed, but it says the only deposit options are Rapid Transfer (Money Gram) or Money Transfer (Western Union). BLAH. Does that sound right to everyone? If it was legit for U.S. players, I would think a simple credit card would do. Maybe I downloaded the wrong software or something?

2) Where in y'all opinion has the best MTTs in terms of traffic and guaranteed prize pools? I also have Juicy Stakes installed, but the withdrawals are God-awfully slow. And their guaranteed pools seem to be dwindling every month....

He might be thinking of the fact that the current system is likely what keeps their cashouts flowing smoothly.

Only if you need CC companies' blessing to make it legit. It's been pretty standard that most CC companies have been blocking gambling transactions for years.

I hear what you're saying Bobo Fett.

Now if someone could actually answer my questions. I'll re-write them for everyone's convenience:

1) I have Bovada installed, but it says the only deposit options are Rapid Transfer (Money Gram) or Money Transfer (Western Union). BLAH. Does that sound right to everyone?

2) Where in y'all opinion has the best MTTs in terms of traffic and guaranteed prize pools? I also have Juicy Stakes installed, but the withdrawals are God-awfully slow. And their guaranteed pools seem to be dwindling every month....

merge for mtts pry for sure. I've been on merge since BF, I've said it numerous times, but it's the best USA site. withdrawal times have picked up big time which confirms my opinion even more, IMO of course. I linked the withdrawal thread, check the last few pages.

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/20...hread-1107843/

merge accepts cc's. as long as your cc is for "international" use and not domestic only, you should be able to deposit. also, visas work almost always over mastercards.

Merge for sure - Carbon or Aced, pick your poison they are the exact same. Go check out the sponsored "Carbon Poker" forum at the top of this thread, withdrawal times are outstanding lately and I think they offer the best games/promos/incentives/software

There really are no good options to play MTTs on Revolution until Intertops starts offering them again. The prize pools are dropping b/c Intertops stopped offering MTTs > 1k gtd and they were 25% of MTT traffic.

Your best options on Merge are Carbon/Aced (support forum here at 2+2) and PokerHost (support thread here in Internet Poker Forum).

Bovada is also a great spot for MTTs and they have a support thread in IP as well

Hi all - in the US (St. Louis to be exact). The two things that matter most to me are PLO traffic (1-2 to 5-10) and quick cashouts. Any advice on which site to go to?

Black Chip, with Merge as a second option. there isn't loads of PLO traffic going, but I often see several 2/4 on BCP, with maybe a 5/10 going, and sometimes there will be a 1/2 or 3/6 on Merge (a good merge skin is Carbon)

Hey guys, I'm coming back to online poker after a ~2 year hiatus. I see the market has changed significantly. I will be playing micro cash games, $1-$10 SNG's and MTT's. Which site do you think would be best for me? A site that has a client compatible with Mac would be great, but I can always boot into Windows if it is necessary.

I downloaded Carbon & Bavada becuase they are Mac friendly, but I was unable to deposit using a pre-paid Vanilla Visa Gift Card. Does anyone know of a site that accepts this card? Or did I just load $100 onto it for no reason - Any feedback is greatly appreciated!!!
