Online Poker with Real Money

USA players searching for games of online poker with real money have to search a little harder than they did before 2006. The most famous European poker sites like Ladbrokes, WilliamHill, 32red, 888Poker, and PokerStars no longer accept American real money gamblers. Many of these websites pulled out when their software providers, like Microgaming, Playtech, Cryptologic, and IGT Interactive also stopped accepting US players. Since then, others have stepped into the breach. I want to mention numerous poker sites accepting American poker players these days. To make it easier to find these sites, I’ll list them according to software provider.

Merge Gaming Network

Merge Gaming Network is one of the bigger software networks which allows US real money casino players. The Merge Gaming Network is a 74-member scalable platform that powers poker sites which accept United States poker players. Several of the most famous poker sites accepting Americans these days use Merge Gaming software. Sites powered by Merge softwware includes Carbon Poker, Play Aces by Sportsbook.com, Black Chip Poker, Aced Poker, BetUSA, Walker Poker, Bet on USA Poker, PokerCity, FeltStars, iHoldem, and PokerIAS. Among the sites which don’t accept Americans, but do accept UK poker players, are names like Sportsbooks.com and Gutshot Poker. Merge Gaming products are licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission.

Revolution Gaming Network

Revolution Gaming Network is a 59-member network of poker sites, including 34 websites which accept USA real money gamblers. Revolution Gaming Network used to be called the Cake Network, until it was purchased by Lock Poker in the summer of 2012 and renamed. Revolution Gaming boasts US poker sites like Lock Poker, Cake Poker, Red Star Poker, AdamEve Poker, Rox Poker, Yoga Poker, Lii Poker, FuguPoker, HiLife Poker, Poker 368, Poker Player Cafe, Pure Poker, Two Bit Poker, Zet Poker, and Tangra Poker. Revolution gaming sites which accept United Kingdom poker players, but not Americans, including Intertops Poker, Chocolate Poker, Pokerworld, All-In Poker, Jetbull, Super Poker, Bruce Poker, Unleashed, and SitandPoker.

Realtime Gaming

Realtime Gaming is a software provider for 75 different sites, many which cater to USA real money players. RTG sites tend to be online casinos instead of poker rooms, though a few act as card rooms, casinos, and sportsbooks. The most famous of these is the Bodog and Bovada sites. Because U.S. federal authorities seized the Bodog domain name and many US states don’t allow online gambling at Bovada, most Americans can’t play poker at these sites. Famous RTG casinos like All Star Slots, Grand Parker Casino, Aladdin’s Gold, Cherry Red, WinPalace Casino, and Casino Titan offer poker-influenced table games like Caribbean stud poker and pai gow poker, but most don’t offer traditional Texas holdem, Omaha, razz, seven-card stud, and draw poker.

Rival Gaming

Rival Gaming is a software company licensed in the Netherlands Antilles which supports real money gambling at 48 different sites. Most of these websites are listed as online casinos, but a few of them offer poker gaming, too. Those with card rooms include Royal Vegas Casino and This-Is-Vegas Casino. Only four of these sites accept USA players and none of those sites offer poker.
