What is USPokerSites.com?
USPokerSites.com is an informational resource designed specifically to help online poker players from the United States navigate the often-tricky waters of playing poker for real money online. We cover literally dozens of topics that are relevant to all poker players (in the US and abroad), but the bulk of the focus at USPokerSites.com is placed on the following areas:
Poker Site Reviews: In addition to identifying the top rooms that accept US action, we also provide detailed reviews covering the software a room provides, the game available at the room, the level of traffic you'll find and numerous other aspects of a poker room that are of interest to poker players.
Deposit and Withdrawal Information: Moving money on and off an online poker site is quickly becoming a skill unto itself. We provide detailed breakdowns of the major deposit and withdrawal methods available for US players, including information about fees, transaction requirements and more.
Gambling and the Law: Thanks to the Internet, there has probably never been another point in time where individuals were more confused about the applicability of the law to their actions. We aim to provide players with the resources they need to understand the relevant law for themselves so that players can make an informed, educated decision about the relative risks (or lack thereof) involved with playing poker online from the United States.
In addition to those core areas of focus, we also have plenty of coverage of topics like poker compatibility, reviews of non-US poker sites and lists that break down online poker sites by game softness, overlays, instant bankrolls and other metrics.

If you're reading an article about what poker sites are Mac compatible, or which online poker sites have mobile clients, chances are that you're reading Jack's work.
Do You Provide Resources for Problem Gamblers?
We do not offer gambling directly to visitors, so we are unable to identify individuals who may have a problem with gambling responsibly. For those individuals, we suggest employing the following resources to help prevent a problem before it gets out of control:
Site Support: The support team at your online casino or online poker room will be able to give you more information about self-exclusion, deposit limits, loss limits and other internal tools that can help you to manage your gambling in a responsible fashion.
NCPG: The National Council on Problem Gambling is perhaps the best-known and most influential organization advocating for the rights of problem gamblers. The NCPG offers a variety of resources for gamblers and those close to them.
Gam-Anon: A treatment program for individuals experiencing problem gambling. Gam-Anon offers straight-to-the-point resources regarding how to identify a problem and how to begin the process of recovery.
It's an unfortunate fact that a small percentage of individuals who participate in online gambling - or gambling of any sort - run the risk of developing a problem. If you feel yourself experiencing loss of control while gambling on any level, you should explore one of the resources above immediately. When it comes to the issue of problem gambling, it's absolutely far superior to be safe than to be sorry
