the best online poker rooms in 2012 - top U.S. and European poker site
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 real money online 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 an excellent overall real money poker experience. Below you will find links to our other online poker guide articles. Pokerstars in 2012 - poker stars review

Many American players that used to play at Poker Stars, Full Tilt Poker or Absolute Poker have migrated to BetOnline Poker. I think what shocks people the most are BetOnline Poker's banking options. This poker site is the only online gambling company that accepts American Mastercard deposits. They have many other deposit options including online vouchers that can be bought using the major credit and debit cards but it is the cashouts that are truly amazing. US players can cashout their winnings in a wide range of ways including Turbo-checks, e-checks, bankwires, e-wallets and money transfer services like Moneygram and Western Union. You can have your winnings in hand within 24 hours of cashing out at Bet Online Poker. Their main product is their award winning sportsbook but they also have a casino.

All In Poker review - Free money offer - no deposit required
All In Poker has completely taken over the Cake Poker Network. I've never like Cake Poker or their network but All In Poker has little in common with the other cake Network rooms. They simply use the software, although All-in has customized it, and share players. Since this new poker room launched the network's traffic has nearly doubled. All-in handles their own banking, support, promotions, bonuses and tournaments. This means that they are much more than a skin on a network. They are more like an independent poker room and they are growing fast. U.S. citizens can play here for real money, making Allin Poker one of the top three US poker rooms. The moment you visit the All In Poker web site you will know that this room is different from every other room on the Cake network, or any other poker network for that matter. The web site, poker software and even the promotions have a social networking feel to them. AllinPoker is home to the best player "refer a friend" program in the industry. If you can manage to recruit 5-10 of your Facebook friends to All In Poker you can make anywhere from a few hundred dollars per month to a few thousand. You can entice them to All-in Poker with the Facebook Freerolls (and play in them yourself). First you have to sign up though. Use the links below and you will receive a 110% bonus up to $1,000, a ticket to our private $500 tournament (ticket valued at $5-$10) and 5 Gold Chips (Chips valued at $15). Enter All In Poker signup code and the Allin Poker bonus code APBONUS too.
2012 Bodog Poker Room, Casino & sportsbook review
Bodog Poker was once a middling US poker site but they are currently the largest poker site for players from the United States of America. The poker room is a perk for their sports bettors and casino gambiers. Bodog is the Internet's most prominent sports book and they have held that title for over 10 years. The poker room at Bodog is well known for weak competition (the sports bettors) and a large number of full-time semi-professional players that were booted from rooms like Fulltilt, UB and Absolute Poker have found that they are winning a lot more money at Bodog Poker than they ever did before. I do most of my sports betting at Bodog's sportsbook but I also enjoy their crazy NL Hold'em games because the flop percentages are insanely high. Out special bonus plan at Bodog includes up to $100 in real money and $1,000 in bonus money. We are also hosting some massive freeroll tournaments that you will be entered in if you use the link below to visit Bodog and signup. - Visit the Bodog poker room & signup.

Why is Full Tilt Poker Closed? Fulltilt Poker shutdown in 2011
Full Tilt Poker was the internet's 2nd largest online poker room. They had great software, promotions, tournaments and were the official home of high stakes poker on the Internet. They had a huge team of professional players, even more than Pokerstars, despite their name sake. So why is Full Tilt Poker closed? There are a number of individual reasons I could tell you since it is a complex issue but the main reason why they were shut down in the middle of 2011 is they ran out of money. They owe millions of poker players a combined total of well over $100,000,000. So what happened to all of that money? We deposited the money at Fulltilt Poker so they should have enough to cash out every single bankroll and be left with millions of dollars in profits through the rake that they collected but that wasn't the case. If you want a more detailed explanation on why Full Tilt Poker is closed just click the link. -
