Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions explain how Online Poker USA may be used and set out the basis on which we publish reviews, rankings and comparisons of real money poker sites for US players. By using julieohlemacher.com, you agree to the terms below. If you do not agree with any part of them, please do not use the site.

Who this site is for

Online Poker USA is intended for adults of legal gambling age researching real money poker sites in the United States. Online poker is regulated on a state-by-state basis in the US, with no single federal framework, and most regulated states set the minimum age at 21, though a small number permit 18. Content on this site is not directed at, and must not be accessed by, anyone under the applicable legal age in their state. If you are unsure of the minimum age or legality of online poker where you live, check with your state's gaming regulator before signing up anywhere.

What this site does — and does not do

We research and compare real money poker sites and apps on factors that matter to players, including traffic and player pool size, game variety across cash games, tournaments, Sit & Gos and fast-fold formats, rake and rakeback structures, welcome bonuses, deposit and withdrawal methods, mobile and software quality, and licensing. Our reviews and ratings are editorial opinions formed through research into publicly available information, operator disclosures and product features. We do not operate any poker room, process any deposits or withdrawals, or control any operator's software, promotions or customer support.

Nothing on this site is gambling advice, financial advice, or a promise of any outcome. Poker involves real financial risk. Skill can influence results over time, but it does not remove the possibility of losing money, and no page on this site should be read as suggesting otherwise.

Commercial relationships and how rankings work

Online Poker USA may earn a commission when readers sign up with an operator through a link on this site. This is standard for comparison sites and helps fund our research, but it does not determine how sites are ranked or reviewed. Our ratings are built from a consistent set of factors — including traffic and liquidity, game and stake variety, rake and rakeback value, software and mobile experience, banking options and licensing status — and a brand's commercial arrangement with us plays no part in where it sits in a table or list. Ratings reflect a snapshot at the time of research and can change if an operator's product, terms or licensing status changes.

Bonuses, promotions and their conditions

Any bonus or promotion figure referenced on this site — such as a deposit match, bonus cash or a bonus-linked series — is set by the operator, not by us, and is always subject to the operator's own terms. These typically include a minimum deposit, a playthrough or wagering requirement before bonus funds can be withdrawn, a time limit to clear the bonus, and eligibility restrictions by state or account type. We do not guarantee that any bonus figure shown remains current, and we do not control an operator's decision to amend, withdraw or restrict a promotion. Always read the operator's own terms in full, on their site, before depositing.

Accuracy of information

We take reasonable care to keep reviews, ratings and comparisons current, but the online poker industry changes quickly — bonuses expire, licensing status can shift, and operators sometimes exit or enter individual state markets. We do not warrant that every detail on this site is accurate at the moment you read it, and we recommend verifying licensing, availability in your state, and current promotional terms directly with the operator before you sign up or deposit. Details on software and mobile experience in particular can change as operators update their apps and clients.

Use of the site

You may browse and read julieohlemacher.com for personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, republish, scrape or redistribute our reviews, ratings or comparison content without permission, and you may not use this site to promote unlicensed or unregulated gambling operators. We reserve the right to update, correct or remove content, or to change these terms, at any time without prior notice. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Liability

Online Poker USA is provided for informational and comparison purposes only. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss arising from your use of this site, your decision to sign up with any operator listed here, or any financial loss incurred while gambling. Any dispute over deposits, withdrawals, bonus terms or account issues is between you and the operator concerned — we recommend contacting the operator's customer support directly, and escalating to the relevant state regulator if a dispute cannot be resolved.

Responsible gambling

Poker should be played for entertainment, never as a way to make money or solve financial difficulty. If you or someone you know may have a gambling problem, free and confidential help is available around the clock through the National Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-GAMBLER. Most regulated states also offer their own self-exclusion programs and support resources through their state gaming regulator, and we do not provide any way to work around a self-exclusion in place. Our Responsible Gambling page has more on setting limits and finding support.
