Terms and Conditions

These terms explain how Poker may be used, what our poker site reviews and rankings actually represent, and where our responsibilities begin and end. By using this site you accept the terms set out below. If anything here is unclear, you can reach us through Contact Us before you rely on anything we publish.

Who this site is for

Poker is intended for adults of legal gambling age in their jurisdiction. In most regulated US states the minimum age for real money poker is 21; a small number of states permit play from 18. You are responsible for knowing which age applies where you live and for confirming that online poker is legal in your state before you sign up anywhere. Nothing on this site is directed at, or intended for, anyone under the applicable minimum age, and we do not knowingly collect information from minors.

What we publish, and what we don't

We are an independent comparison and review site. We are not a poker operator, we do not accept deposits, and we do not run any of the games featured in our tables or write-ups. Every operator named on this site — including Coinpoker, Bovada, Stake, Ignition, Americas Card Room, Black Chip Poker, Ya Poker, BC Poker, Betonline and Jack Poker — is reviewed and ranked according to our own editorial process, described in more depth on our Licensing & Trust page. Ratings, offer descriptions and rankings reflect our editorial judgment at the time of publication and can change without notice as operators update their products, bonuses or terms.

Bonus figures, deposit match percentages and promotional offers shown against each operator are provided by the operator and are subject to their own terms — wagering or playthrough requirements, time limits, minimum deposits and eligible games all apply and can change. Always confirm current terms directly with the operator before opening an account or depositing.

Commercial relationships and how we're paid

Poker earns money through affiliate commissions. If you click through to an operator from this site and go on to sign up or deposit, we may be paid for that referral. This arrangement never determines our ratings or the order in which operators appear — an operator cannot pay to move up our rankings, and paid placements are never disguised as independent recommendations. You can read more about how we assess operators on our Licensing & Trust page.

Accuracy of information

We make a reasonable effort to keep reviews, bonus terms, licensing details and payment information current, and this page was last fact-checked on Sep 9, 2026. Even so, the online poker industry changes quickly — operators adjust bonuses, exit or enter states, and licensing status can shift. We do not guarantee that every detail on this site is accurate at the moment you read it, and we accept no liability for losses arising from reliance on outdated or inaccurate information. Always verify licensing, bonus terms and payment methods directly with the operator before committing any funds.

No guarantee of outcomes

Nothing on Poker should be read as a suggestion that playing poker for real money will produce a profit or income. Poker involves skill, but outcomes at the table are never guaranteed, and every real money game carries the risk of losing the money you put in. We do not present any operator, bonus or strategy as a reliable way to make money, and readers should never gamble more than they can afford to lose. If gambling stops being enjoyable or starts to feel like a problem, help is available through 1-800-GAMBLER and on our Responsible Gambling page.

Legal standing and your responsibility

Online poker in the US is regulated on a state-by-state basis; there is no single federal framework, and legal availability, licensing and permitted operators vary by state. It is your responsibility to confirm that a given poker site is licensed and legally available in your state before signing up, and to comply with any age or residency requirements that apply. Where a state runs a self-exclusion program, we expect readers enrolled in one to respect it, and nothing on this site is designed to help anyone circumvent it.

Limits on our liability

We provide this site's content on an "as is" basis and make no warranty, express or implied, about its completeness or fitness for any particular purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Poker is not liable for any loss, damage or dispute arising from your use of this site, your reliance on our reviews or rankings, or your dealings with any third-party operator we cover. Any dispute over funds, bonuses, account verification or withdrawals is between you and the operator in question, not us.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time as our content, partnerships or the regulatory landscape change. The version published on this page at the time you visit is the one that applies. Continuing to use Poker after an update means you accept the revised terms.
