Terms and Conditions

These terms set out the rules for using astramat.com, an independent review and comparison site for online poker operators serving US players. By browsing this site, using our comparison tables, or clicking through to any of the poker sites we list, you agree to the terms below. If you do not agree with them, please do not continue using the site.

What This Site Is — and What It Is Not

Top Online Poker Sites publishes reviews, rankings and comparison content covering online poker operators available to players in the US, including sites such as Coinpoker, Bovada, Stake, Ignition, Americas Card Room, Black Chip Poker, Ya Poker, BC Poker, Betonline and Jack Poker. We are a media and information publisher only. We are not a poker operator, we do not accept deposits or wagers, and we do not process withdrawals. Any account you open, deposit you make, or hand you play is between you and the poker site in question, governed by that site's own terms and conditions, which you should read in full before signing up.

For our current rankings and side-by-side comparisons, see Best Online Poker Sites for US Players.

Affiliate Relationships and Commercial Disclosure

Top Online Poker Sites earns commission when readers click through to certain poker sites and register an account. This is how the site is funded, and it does not change how sites are scored or ranked. Operators cannot pay for a better position in our rankings, and a commercial relationship with a brand is never a reason to soften a review or omit a drawback. Where an offer or headline bonus is shown, we present the material terms supplied by the operator at the time of publication — but bonus terms, wagering requirements and eligibility rules can change without notice, so always confirm current terms on the operator's own site before you deposit.

Age and Eligibility

Online poker for real money is restricted by age and by state. Most regulated US states set the minimum gambling age at 21; a small number set it at 18. You must meet the minimum legal gambling age in your state, and you are solely responsible for confirming that real-money online poker is legal where you live before registering with any operator listed here. This site is not directed at, and must not be used by, anyone under the applicable legal age. Online poker in the US is regulated on a state-by-state basis — there is no single federal licence — so availability, licensing and consumer protections vary by state. Each operator's own site will confirm which states it can legally serve and under what licence.

Accuracy of Information

We research each operator's game offering, traffic, bonus terms, payment methods and mobile experience, and we update our content when we become aware of material changes. Even so, details such as bonus amounts, deposit methods, cash-out times, licensing status and game availability can change quickly and without notice. Nothing on this site is a guarantee that an offer, feature, or licence status is still current at the moment you read it. Where accuracy matters to your decision — such as a bonus's wagering requirement or a site's legal availability in your state — verify it directly with the operator before you act.

No Guarantee of Outcome

Poker is a game of skill and chance, and outcomes are never guaranteed. Nothing on astramat.com should be read as a promise or implication that you will win money, recover losses, or generate income by playing poker. Ratings, rankings and editorial commentary reflect our own research and judgment; they are not financial advice and are not a prediction of your results. Only play with money you can afford to lose, and treat any bonus, rakeback offer or promotion as a conditional incentive, not free money — every offer carries terms such as deposit minimums, playthrough requirements or time limits, which are stated alongside the offer where supplied.

Responsible Gambling

Real-money poker carries financial risk, and this site does not encourage anyone to gamble beyond what they can comfortably afford. If gambling stops being enjoyable, starts affecting your finances, relationships or wellbeing, or you feel unable to stop, help is available. In the US, you can call or text 1-800-GAMBLER for confidential support. Most regulated states also run their own self-exclusion programs, which we respect fully — nothing on this site is intended to help anyone bypass a self-exclusion order. For more on setting limits and recognizing warning signs, see our Responsible Gambling page.

Intellectual Property

The text, layout, comparison tables, ratings and original graphics on astramat.com belong to us or our licensors and are protected by copyright. You may read and share links to our pages, but you may not copy, republish or redistribute our content — including our reviews, methodology or rankings — without prior written permission. Operator logos and trademarks referenced on this site remain the property of their respective owners and are used only to identify the operators reviewed.

Limitation of Liability

We take reasonable care in researching and publishing our content, but we make no warranty that the site will be error-free, uninterrupted, or that any operator we list will remain licensed, solvent or available in your state. To the fullest extent permitted by law, astramat.com and its operators are not liable for any loss, financial or otherwise, arising from your use of this site, your reliance on our content, or your dealings with any third-party poker operator we review or link to. You choose whether to register with, deposit at, or play on any listed site entirely at your own discretion and risk.

Third-Party Sites

Links on this site lead to independent third-party operators. Once you leave astramat.com, your activity is governed by that operator's own terms, privacy policy and licensing conditions, not ours. We are not responsible for the content, practices, security or customer service of any third-party site, even where we recommend it.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in our content, our affiliate relationships, or applicable regulation. The "updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continuing to use astramat.com after changes are posted means you accept the revised terms.
