There are many players that don’t realize that some of the best Poker sites to be found on the Internet are operated out of the United States. There has always been somewhat of a taboo when it comes to USA Poker sites, for whatever reason and many people have been unwilling to check these sites out. If this has been you then you are missing out on some of the best Poker sites on the net.
Many Poker sites that you might find on the Internet also preclude players from the US to even play at their site. There are several reasons for this and many times players from the US have a difficult time finding a place where they can play. Some sites let players from there play but at the same time won’t allow them to fund their accounts from banks in the US. This obviously presents a tough situation for players wanting to play. Thankfully there are good, solid sites in the US and they are becoming much more plentiful to choose from. There are, however, several things in a good USA Poker site that you need to be looking for if you do decide to play there. Just because a site says it comes from the US doesn’t mean that it is a high quality site and all the factors that go into picking a site anywhere else in the world apply there as well.
Make sure before you pick one of the USA Poker sites that it has a good rating with an online rating source. All of the top Poker sites to be found have been rated one way or another and if you can’t seem to find the site that you’re looking for it might be very new, or so bad that it’s off the radar of any reviewers. It’s always much safer to stick to what has been tested. If you do feel comfortable enough to venture into unknown territory, which is fine if you have been around a while, then do a few tests of your own before logging into one of the poker sites that accept USA players.
Several ways to test a site out is by using any free software that they are willing to let you try out. A lot of sites have free versions of the games and this is a great way to find out what the site has to offer. Many of these USA poker rooms use excellent, up to the minute software that is so good that you won’t be able to tell the difference between their free stuff and the stuff in the areas where you have to pay to play. On the other side of that coin, however, is many sites often try to dupe players into playing on their free software, where it will be much easier to win. Once the person is lulled into a false sense of security and is comfortable with the site the player will inevitably sign up to play for money. This is also fine if you don’t start throwing down large amounts of cash all at once. This is how many sites prey on new players, by taking large sums of money after luring them in. Start out a little at a time and see if that’s the way your chosen casino or USA Poker sites operates. |
