Update on US Friendly Online Poker Rooms

Online poker is a fluid, dynamic industry. Just last month, a United States Department of Justice ruling came to light which many feel has paved the way for online poker legalization and regulation in 2012.

It seems that each month — heck, sometimes each week — online poker sites come and go, or change the policy toward accepting US-based real-money players. Complicating things is the fact that there are some online poker networks that have several “skins”, or front-ends, and you’re only allowed to register at one of the skins. So, even though there are more than a dozen US-friendly online poker rooms, you can only open an account at a handful of those sites.

Here is the latest list of US-friendly online poker rooms where you’ll want to have accounts.

Online Backgammon For Cash, PayPal Accepted, $10 Free

If you’d like to show off your online backgammon skills — and put your money where your mouth is — then GameColony is the place for you. Throughout the day, GameColony offers various types of online backgammon games with real cash prizes. They offer both single and double elimination tournaments, played to various point levels. But your real money maker is playing heads up against other players. There are usually more than one hundred players in the Main Hall, waiting to play online backgammon for real cash.

The way it works is that you purchase tickets via PayPal, use the tickets to enter tournaments in which you can win more tickets, and then cash out your tickets as cash via PayPal.

If you go to GameColony through a link in this blog, you’ll get $10 FREE to start.

If online backgammon isn’t your game, they have all kinds of other skill-based and arcade-style games that you can also play for cash and prizes. I’ll be highlighting some of the additional games in the coming days and weeks.

GameColony accepts players from most states. Players from the following states are barred from play at GameColony: AZ AR DE FL IA IL KY LA MD MO NY SC NV OH WA VT.
