Terms and Conditions
These terms set out how you may use eyefaster.com and what to expect from the information we publish. By browsing this site, comparing poker sites, or clicking through to any operator we cover, you agree to the terms below. If you don't agree, the best step is to stop using the site.
Who this site is for
Top Online Poker Sites is intended strictly for adults of legal gambling age. Most regulated US states set the minimum age for real money poker at 21, though a small number permit 18. Nothing on this site is directed at, or intended to be accessed by, anyone under the applicable legal age in their state. It is the reader's responsibility to confirm the minimum age and legality of real money poker in their own jurisdiction before signing up anywhere.
What this site actually does
Top Online Poker Sites publishes independent research, comparisons and editorial rankings of online poker sites and apps operating in the US, including on our Best Online Poker Sites for Real Money in the US guide. We do not operate a poker room, accept deposits, process wagers, or hold player funds. We are a publisher of information only. Any decision to register, deposit, or play with a poker operator listed on this site is made entirely by you, and any resulting financial outcome — win or loss — is between you and that operator.
Affiliate relationships and how we're paid
Top Online Poker Sites may receive a commission when a reader clicks through to an operator listed on this site and creates an account. This is how the site funds its research and stays free to use. Commission arrangements never determine our editorial ratings or the order sites appear in — a paying partner receives no ranking advantage over one that isn't. Where an offer or headline promotion is shown alongside an operator, the material terms (deposit requirements, wagering or playthrough conditions, time limits) belong to that operator and are subject to change; always confirm current terms directly with the operator before signing up.
No guarantee of winnings
Poker is a game that combines skill and chance. Nothing on this site should be read as a promise, guarantee, or implication that any reader will win money, recover losses, or generate income by playing poker. Editorial ratings reflect our assessment of an operator's traffic, game variety, bonus terms, banking options and overall player experience — they are not a prediction of individual results. Skill can influence outcomes over time, but it does not remove the risk of losing money, and past performance by any player or site carries no guarantee for the future.
Accuracy of information
We research publicly available information, operator disclosures and our own editorial assessment to compile reviews, ratings and comparison tables, including for operators such as Coinpoker, Bovada, Stake, Ignition, Americas Card Room, Black Chip Poker, Ya Poker, BC Poker, Betonline and Jack Poker. Bonus amounts, deposit methods, licensing status and other operator details can change without notice, and operators are responsible for the accuracy of their own offers, terms and licensing claims. We update pages periodically but cannot guarantee that every detail is current at the moment you read it. Always verify bonus terms, wagering requirements, eligibility and licensing directly with the operator's own site before depositing.
Licensing, eligibility and your responsibility
Online poker in the US is regulated at the state level; there is no single federal license covering the whole country, and availability varies by state. Some of the operators featured on this site hold licenses or authorizations in specific jurisdictions rather than across the whole of the US. It is your responsibility to check whether real money poker is legally available where you live before registering with any operator, and to complete any identity verification (KYC) an operator requires. We do not verify a reader's location or eligibility on an operator's behalf.
Responsible gambling
Poker should be treated as entertainment, not as a way to earn income or solve financial difficulty. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses. If gambling stops feeling like entertainment, free and confidential help is available through the National Council on Problem Gambling at 1-800-GAMBLER. Several states also offer their own self-exclusion programs directly through licensed operators, and we do not provide any guidance intended to work around them. Our Responsible Gambling page has more on the resources available.
Limitation of liability
Top Online Poker Sites provides content on an "as is" basis and makes no warranty, express or implied, about the completeness or reliability of any review, ranking or comparison. We are not liable for losses, damages or disputes arising from your use of a third-party poker site, including issues with deposits, withdrawals, bonus clearing, account verification or customer support. Any dispute with an operator should be raised directly with that operator, and where relevant, with the regulator that licenses them.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in our content, our affiliate relationships, or the regulatory environment for online poker in the US. The date shown at the top of this page reflects the most recent update. Continuing to use the site after changes are posted means you accept the revised terms.
