I live in nevada, I know that WSOP is the only legal site to play but I dont want to play there. I wonder If there is another legal site?. I used to play Ignition in nevada but I stopped playing because Is not allowed in Nevada I dont want to get my account closed by ignition. Can you help me to find an offshore "legal" online poker site in Nevada please?
hey guys i am just wondering what is the best site to play cash games at NL500+ after the end of this month and the end of coinpoker promotion, to my eyes it looks like it's Pokerstars but the traffic has became very low and you cant send a good volume lik 6 tabling for 6 hours, GGpoker has an awful rake and seems like the worst option and coinpoker seems good but they set thei
you might consider some of the apps, like clubgg, pokerbros, x-poker, etc

That might help a little bit with a choice. I certainly doubt their ranking of places, but the list as a whole is excellent to choose.
I'm a live casino player who has never played online, so I'm a total noob in terms of setup. I'm considering trying it a little bit, primarily to practice my game and log a lot more volume that's subject to rigorous recording so I can see trends better. Ideally looking for some kind of fast-fold format that provides a meaningful challenge and maybe comparable to a decent 2/5 or 5/10 live game. Not interested in the pure money aspect so I don't really care about the stakes as long as it's 50NL or lower and the level of competition is reasonable (i.e. if the answer is some 2NL pool is very tough I'm happy to get reps in there even if it means no serious money can be won - I want to win relative chips, not $$).
My questions run something like:
- Casino poker is great in that you can show up, get chips, play poker, cash your chips, and leave. What additional barriers are common online and what sites minimize them? Stuff like needing to give up lots of personal info, being dragged into US tax reporting, difficulty of transacting, etc. It seems like there are lot of shady money models like "sweepstakes" and "clubs" to get around regulation and I'm not very familiar with the models but they sound like an annoying level of complication for someone who just wants to play poker.
- What sites and stakes have a consistently available fast-fold pool like I would be looking for?
- What is the "barrier to entry" set of extra software and costs to get "standard" statistics? Again, I'm a total noob here but it seems like most online players have some third-party hand recorder that lets you see a huge bevy of your play stats, some sites have integrated HUDs and some require (or ban?) running a HUD overlay, etc.
From watching streams it would seem something like GG Rush & Cash at 10NL or 25NL would be great, but of course that's not an option in the USA (or is VPN a thing?).
It's hard to filter the nonsense from actual concerns about many sites when there are always tons of people complaining that you get banned for winning, the RNG is rigged, all the regs are Russian bots, etc.

You generally don't need much of anything to deposit--just cash out. Most sites are similar--you need to provide some proof of I.D., but nothing too onerous.

ACR, Ignition, and BetOnline all have fast-fold tables. Not sure about Coin--they just updated recently and might have added it.

You'll want to get a HUD if you play at all seriously, but not all sites allow them, and some sites have built-in ones. The 3 sites I mentioned all allow 3rd party HUDS. It's a small investment if you're putting in any sort of volume.
Finally, do not use a VPN to play on a site not available in your area--you won't be able to cash out if you win.
Any of the sites notably better or worse for size and quality of player pool? I occasionally see people saying things like "oh Ignition is totally dead now" or whatever.
Is the software that records hands and shows the redline/blueline charts etc. basically the same as a HUD? From looking around it seems like the popular PT4 and HM3 do both.
In California, which sites can I put in considerable volume at NL200 and NL500? Play mainly in the late morning and afternoon time frame.
