Terms and Conditions

These terms explain how US Poker works, what our content is (and isn't), and what you agree to by using this site. By browsing timbarsky.com or following a link to any poker room we cover, you accept the terms set out below.

What This Site Is and Isn't

US Poker is an independent information and comparison resource covering online poker sites and apps available to US players, including sites that support crypto and Bitcoin deposits such as those we rank on this page. We publish reviews, comparison tables, and educational content to help visitors make their own informed decisions. We are not a poker operator, we do not process deposits or withdrawals, and we do not accept wagers of any kind. Nothing on this site should be read as personalized financial, legal, or gambling advice.

Affiliate Relationships and How We're Paid

US Poker may earn a commission when a reader signs up with a poker site through a link on this page. This is standard for comparison sites and helps us keep the content free to read. Commission never determines how a site is ranked, rated, or described — our editorial team scores every operator against the same criteria regardless of any commercial relationship. Where an offer appears on this page, such as those from Coinpoker, Bovada, Stake, or the other rooms listed above, we include the material conditions attached to it wherever we know them, but readers should always confirm the current terms directly with the operator before signing up, since promotions change without notice.

How We Research and Rank Sites

Our ratings reflect research into publicly available information: licensing status, game variety and traffic, deposit and withdrawal options (including crypto support), bonus structures and their wagering requirements, mobile app functionality, and customer support responsiveness. We do not play, deposit, or withdraw funds as part of our review process, and we make no claim to have done so. Ratings are editorial opinions based on that research, not guarantees of performance, payout speed, or player experience. For more on how we approach an operator's licensing and safety credentials, see our Trust and Licensing page.

Age and Eligibility

This site is intended for adults only. You must be at least 21 years old to use real-money poker sites in most US states (18 in a small number of states), and you are responsible for confirming the legal gambling age and legal status of online poker in your specific state or jurisdiction before signing up anywhere. Online poker in the US is regulated on a state-by-state basis; no site listed here is available, or legal to use, in every state. Nothing on timbarsky.com is directed at, or intended to be accessed by, anyone under the applicable legal age.

No Guarantee of Winnings

Poker involves real financial risk. Skill can influence outcomes over time, but it does not eliminate the possibility of losing money, and no amount of research, bonus, or rakeback offer changes that. We do not present poker as a source of income, a way to solve financial difficulty, or a reliable path to profit, and nothing on this site should be interpreted that way. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses.

Responsible Gambling

If gambling stops being enjoyable, starts affecting your finances, relationships, or wellbeing, or feels difficult to control, help is available. Call or text 1-800-GAMBLER for confidential support, available across most US states. Several states also offer their own self-exclusion programs and support resources through their gaming regulators. We respect state self-exclusion registers and do not provide any way around them. Our Responsible Gambling page has more detail on recognizing warning signs and finding support.

Accuracy and Changes to Content

We work to keep bonus terms, ratings, and operator details current as of the fact-check date shown on this page, but promotions, licensing status, and product offerings change on short notice and operators do not always notify comparison sites when they do. We aren't liable for losses arising from relying on out-of-date information, and we recommend verifying any offer's terms directly on the operator's own site before depositing. We may update, correct, or remove content on timbarsky.com at any time without prior notice.

Limitation of Liability

US Poker provides information on an "as is" basis. We make reasonable efforts to ensure accuracy but do not warrant that content is complete, current, or error-free. To the extent permitted by law, US Poker and its operators are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of this site or your dealings with any third-party poker operator, including losses connected to gameplay, deposits, withdrawals, or promotional terms.

External Links and Third-Party Sites

This site links to third-party poker operators for informational and referral purposes. We don't control those sites' content, terms, security practices, or availability, and a link from timbarsky.com doesn't constitute an endorsement of everything on the destination site. Read each operator's own terms, privacy policy, and licensing information before creating an account or making a deposit.

Contacting Us

Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms from time to time to reflect changes in our content, our affiliate relationships, or applicable regulation. The version published on this page is the one currently in effect, and continued use of timbarsky.com after an update means you accept the revised terms.
