Terms and Conditions
These terms and conditions govern your use of US Poker, published at pennycandybooks.com. By accessing or using this site, you agree to the terms set out below. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. We may update these terms from time to time; continued use after any change constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
Who We Are and What This Site Does
US Poker is an independent comparison and review website. We research, rank, and write about online poker sites and apps available to players in the United States. Our goal is to help adults make informed decisions about where to play real-money poker online.
We do not operate a poker site, accept deposits, hold player funds, or facilitate any gambling transaction. We are a publisher of editorial content only.
Questions about our editorial approach can be directed to us via our Contact Us page.
Affiliate and Commercial Disclosure
US Poker earns revenue through affiliate relationships. When you follow a link from this site to an online poker operator and subsequently register or deposit, we may receive a commission or other form of compensation from that operator.
This commercial relationship does not determine how sites are ranked. Our editorial ratings and rankings are based on independent research and assessment criteria — including game selection, bonus value and transparency, payment options, licensing, and software quality. Operators cannot purchase a higher position. For more on how we evaluate sites, see our full rankings and reviews page.
In accordance with FTC endorsement guidelines, this disclosure is made prominently and applies to all operator links and offer cards displayed on this site.
Age and Eligibility
This site is intended for adults aged 21 and over. Online poker and other real-money gambling products are age-restricted. In most US states that have legalized online poker, the minimum age is 21. A small number of states apply an 18+ threshold — always check the rules in your specific state before registering with any operator.
By using this site, you confirm that you are of legal gambling age in your state or jurisdiction. We do not knowingly provide content to anyone under the age of 21, and nothing on this site is intended to appeal to minors.
Geographic and Legal Restrictions
Online poker regulation in the United States is handled at the state level. There is no federal framework permitting or prohibiting online poker uniformly across all states. As a result, legal access to real-money online poker varies significantly depending on where you live.
It is your responsibility to determine whether participating in online poker is lawful in your state or jurisdiction before registering with any operator. Nothing on this site constitutes legal advice. We make no representation that any specific operator is licensed, approved, or accessible in your state.
Some operators listed on this site hold licenses from international regulators such as the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) or operate under Curaçao gaming frameworks. Others may operate in a legal gray area for US players. Verify an operator's licensing and your local legal position independently before depositing funds.
Accuracy of Information
We make reasonable efforts to ensure the information published on this site is accurate and current at the time of writing. Bonus offers, terms, payment methods, and operator details change frequently. The offer information displayed — including welcome bonuses, deposit matches, and promotional terms — is subject to change by the operator at any time without notice to us.
Always verify the current terms directly with the operator before registering or depositing. Material bonus conditions — including playthrough requirements, time limits, eligibility restrictions, and caps — must be confirmed on the operator's own site.
Editorial ratings shown on this site represent our independent assessments based on research and review. They are not customer review scores, and they do not reflect tested or guaranteed performance.
No Guarantee of Winnings
Poker involves real financial risk. Nothing on this site — including any bonus information, site ranking, editorial rating, or commentary — implies, suggests, or guarantees that you will win money, profit consistently, or achieve any particular outcome by playing at any of the sites we cover.
Skill reduces but does not eliminate the risk of losing. Even experienced players lose money. Do not treat poker as a reliable source of income, a way to solve financial problems, or a substitute for employment or savings. Never play with money you cannot afford to lose.
Responsible Gambling
We take responsible gambling seriously. If poker is causing you distress, financial harm, or problems in your personal life, help is available.

Most regulated US states maintain self-exclusion programs that allow you to voluntarily bar yourself from licensed gambling sites and venues. We support these programs fully and will never encourage anyone to work around or circumvent a self-exclusion they have chosen to enter.
Our full responsible gambling guidance, including tools and resources for setting limits, is on our Responsible Gambling page.
Third-Party Sites and Operators
This site contains links to third-party websites operated by online poker companies. Once you leave pennycandybooks.com, these terms no longer apply. We are not responsible for the content, practices, policies, or terms of any third-party site, including the operators we review and link to.
Your relationship with any poker operator — including account registration, deposits, withdrawals, bonus eligibility, and dispute resolution — is governed entirely by that operator's own terms and conditions. Read them carefully before committing funds.
