Poker pacific

 
The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act changed the rules of online card playing forever. By banning the ability to play for cash online the American government pushed many gaming sites to prevent U.S. citizens from playing online. Such prominent sites as Poker Pacific, Party Poker and Titan Poker have stopped doing business in American communities and on American sites. Americans can still play online, however they cannot play for money.

But there are still alternatives for U.S. residents who enjoy a good game of cards. The following sites still offer services to Americans.

Ultimate Bet: Considered one of the best rooms on the Internet, Ultimate Bet has even been endorsed by pro player Phil Hellmuth. It has been around for a long time and is a good choice for Pacific players.

Poker Stars: Another first rate site, there are plenty of well-known players from around the Pacific and beyond playing here. Many of the finalists from the World Poker Series can be found at this site on a regular basis. Bear in mind that this is not a place for beginners.

Absolute Poker: Requires an application download but is worth it. This site has been around for a long time and has made a push towards the American market in recent years despite prohibitive laws. Poker pacific lovers of the game would do well here, as their pacific software is top-notch and their customer service is unparalleled in the online world.

Full Tilt Poker: Yet another site regularly peopled by the top names in card playing. Though it's not advisable to join in games if you don't feel up to the challenge – and there are some good players here – you can watch matches and determine your own strategy towards winning any future games you might play.

Bodog Poker: Another download based site. Bodog is friendly to Poker Pacific gamers and will gladly allow U.S. residents to join in a few games with their easy-to-use software.

There are plenty of ways to get in on the fun. Just be sure you know the extent of the gambling laws in your state.
