First off are your current legal options. Several poker sites have blocked players from certain states from playing in their rooms. Listed after each state are the sites that they are allowed to play on. For example, I'm from New York so my options are Chico, WPN, and maybe Merge, subject to certain zip code restrictions. If your state is not listed, then all networks are available to you.

Restricted states; you can play on:

USD
DC: Ignition + Chico + Grand + Horizon
Delaware: Chico + Grand + Horizon
Kentucky: Ignition + Chico + Grand + WPN
Louisiana: Ignition + Chico + Grand + WPN
Maryland: Chico + Grand
Missouri: Ignition + Chico + Grand + WPN
Nevada: Chico + Grand + Horizon
New Jersey: Chico + Grand
New York: Chico + Grand + Merge + WPN (Merge subject to Zip Code restrictions)
Utah: Ignition + Chico + Grand + Horizon + WPN
Washington: Ignition + Chico + Grand

Bitcoin
All US Residents can play for bitcoins on:
Seals With Clubs
[Also various other Bitcoin Only sites, including some WPN skins]

Next is general information about the different poker networks. Restricted States are the states these networks do not allow players from, or at the least from certain areas. There are links that will bring you to their respective threads/sections here on 2+2. Clicking on their respective cashout threads and scrolling through the last few pages will give you a good idea of how long cashouts are taking.
