Well some of you from USA might surely have faced a few problems while trying to play online poker or accessing a few such sites which offer poker.Till some time back it was rather difficult for USA players to play online poker.

Now you must be thinking what are the reasons behind this problem.Then main reason being the payment methods restriction and money laundering problems.This is one reason why paypal also did not accept online gambling sites and poker rooms.They wanted to be totally secure as they have millions of customers all around the world as we wrote in a previous article.They obviously dont want to lose the credibility of being the best online payment processor.
On May 25th 2006 the USA govt passed the "Unlawful internet gambling enforcement act" and then the bill put restrictions on the accepting credit cards,checks etc and tried to stop the gamblers from illegally betting over the internet.So all the major payment processor brands had to leave the country and hence poker playing became more difficult for US players.

Now lets see what are the payment options available for US citizens.Some well known brands are Bank Wire,Prepaid debit cards,western union,Wire card,Diners club international and best out of them is ePassporte.Epassporte is accepted by majority of the online poker rooms.So you have no hassle at all.

After the gambling and betting bill was passed on 30th sept 2006 many major online poker rooms had to leave US for example Party Poker.We have found out a few sites that accept US palyers and they include Bodog Poker,SportsBook poker,Poker stars,players online poker,absolute poker,full tilt poker,pitBull poker.

Majority of the poker rooms described above accept many payment methods.So if you are from USA then they are best poker rooms available for you to play and win in any of those poker rooms.
