Frequently asked questions
How do you rate poker rooms?
We open a real account, deposit our own money, play across stakes and request a withdrawal. First-hand readings like withdrawal speed stay blank until we’ve actually tested them, and every room is scored on one consistent scale. Affiliate commissions never change a score.
Which poker sites accept US players?
Use the “US-friendly” filter above to see only rooms that currently accept US players. Availability changes often, so always confirm on the operator’s own site and in the individual review.
Are these reviews independent?
Yes. We earn affiliate commissions when readers sign up, but commissions never affect our scores or rankings, and we say so on every page. We also flag closures, withdrawal problems and other red flags openly.
What is the Fishometer softness score?
It’s a community-informed estimate of how soft (beatable) a room’s games are, aggregated from player reports and the room’s network and traffic mix. It’s labelled as an estimate, not a first-hand verdict.
Play responsibly
Set deposit and time limits, never chase losses, and take a break with the operator’s self-exclusion tools if you need one. Free, confidential help: GamCare (UK), 1-800-GAMBLER (US), Gamblers Anonymous. 18+.
