With so many rooms to choose from just deciding where to play can be tough. When picking either a poker room or bingo room there are many factors you will need to look at. Online poker rooms can be broken down into two categories, U.S. and non U.S. rooms. This site only lists rooms that accept players from the United States. Once again you can divide these rooms into two more categories, independent and networked rooms. A poker network is a group of "skins" that share the same player base and software. Independent rooms are much better than networked rooms because they can offer better bonuses and you won't have to worry about having your account closed due to holding an account at two different skins on the same network. For this reason I have decided to only list independent poker rooms. Both of these rooms have excellent reputations and provide the an excellent overall poker experience.
