Party Poker US Players

Party Poker is right there at the top amongst leading online poker rooms with excellent cash games and tournaments, loose games, mouth watering promotions, multi-language support, and good enough loyalty programs. If it has one big downside, which in fact is forced upon the site by legal compulsions, it is the no-entry to US players. Thanks to an anti-gambling law in the US, Party Poker can’t accept US players into its fold. Hence, most of the players visiting Party Poker are from South America, Scandinavia, and Asia.

Through the anti-gambling law, even though the US government had only intended to place a check on the rampant illegal online gambling that was going in the country, the carpet ban had in reality also affected the prospects of law abiding portals such as Party Poker. As a direct fall out of the exit of US based players, now registering a place in sit ‘n’ go tournaments are far easier than before, thanks to the dropping competition levels. Even the latest $25 and 100% extra up to $500 bonus offers, which can be claimed using 25ALLIn and 500ALLIN party poker bonus codes, had failed to generate the old levels of excitement and attract new players in flocks, like it were when the players from the US were around.

Other than the excitement factor, the absence of Party Poker US players had also robbed other pros of the chances to win big bucks at Party Poker. Traditionally, many of the players who tend to wager big were from the US. With the ban on US players, Party Poker no longer has such high wagers, and it has all in a sudden had the cash flow significantly stifled.

For the US players, on the other hand, their choices now have become very thin as only few poker sites such as Ultimate Bet and Poker Stars are accepting US players. It is a pity that even players from the neighboring Canada have no such restrictions to take part in online poker rooms such as Party Poker while for the US residents, they simply can’t.

As things stand today, the chances are slim that the US government may revoke the ban anytime in the foreseeable future. Till then, for the US players, they have no choice but to rely totally on land based casinos in their cities to play their favorite game of poker.
