Everything was so simple a long time ago, but then, the UIGEA got enacted into law, and the poker sites for US players all went into "disarray". Some folded and went out of business, some stayed, while some quit their poker business and switched to a non-gambling enterprise. So, assuming you are an American and you are still at a loss because your favorite online room has folded a long time back and you still have not found another good room, read on, this piece should help you. Remember, UIGEA or not, the situations remain dynamic, so don't give up on your poker action. Below are the payment avenues still accessible to US players: Visa/Mastercard- it is the fastest way of depositing. Diners Club International: one could deposit up to around 600$. Bankwire- this is slow, and if you do not have the virtue of patience, you would do well to choose the other avenues. Prepaid debit cards- examples would be Delta, Visa Electron, Maestro, Solo, Switch). Now, as far as I know, these online sites are still considered as Poker Sites for US Players- Absolute Poker, Carbon Poker, PitBull Poker, Bodog and of course, Full Tilt. There, one last word of wisdom- if you have given up on poker sites for US players, there is always the landbased arena.
