Merge Online Poker Network Reopens to United States Players

Online Poker sites on the Merge Poker Network have recently began accepting new online poker accounts from poker players in the United States. While not all online poker players are accepted, most are eligible to open an online poker account. (Online poker players from the following states/jurisdictions are still barred at Merge Poker sites: KY LA MO MD NY WA DC).

My top three online poker sites on the Merge Poker Network are:

All offer a 100% match bonus on your initial deposit, with OddsMaker matching up to $1K — the most of any Merge Poker Network site that I am aware of. In addition, OddsMaker spreads $40K a month in online poker freerolls: 7 x $200 daily free rolls, with the games varying from Pot Limit Omaha, to H.O.R.S.E. to No Limit Hold’em.

DoylesRoom Review – Most US Players Welcome

Real money online poker players that reside in the United States have fewer options for their online poker play since Black Friday of April 2011. As I am sure you are aware, many online poker rooms have left the United States market in light of the FBI’s actions on that day.

DoylesRoom.ag has decided to keeps its online poker room open to US players. They are even allowing new accounts to residents of the United States (except WA and MD residents). They have recently moved to the Yatahay Online Poker Network, joining a half dozen or so other online poker rooms on the network. In addition, they are offering a LIMITED TIME initial deposit bonus of 100% when you deposit between $50 and $1000.

Doyle’s Room deals Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud, and 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo tournaments (both normal and turbo) and cash games in fixed limit (FL), pot limit (PL) and no limit (NL) formats. You can easily find your favorite game using the filters provided in the poker lobby.

The easiest way to make a deposit at Doyle’s Room is with your Visa card. Otherwise, you can deposit via a Bank Wire or a Person-to-Person transfer; however, these deposit options are obviously less convenient than depositing via your Visa credit card. There is a $50 minimum deposit — this is perfectly reasonable, in my opinion.

Your best withdraw option is probably a bank draft / check. Checks can be requested for between $25 and $2500 once per week and have no fee! You can also choose debit cards as your withdrawal method, but there is a $5 monthly fee, plus a load fee of $2 each time that you load the card. Debit cards usually also have a per-transaction fee when you use the debit card to make a purchase.

Your online poker options are limited if you live in the United States. Doyle’s Room is a solid online poker room that you should consider for your online poker play.

Introducing Seven Deuce Tables, only at UltimateBet

This one’s a game changer. We’ve added a sweet side pot to select tables to bring you a more intense kind of poker – and UltimateBet is the only place to play it.

It’s called Seven Deuce and it’s guaranteed to bring more action, bigger bets, larger pots and insane rivalries to the tables in a way that makes most regular high stakes games look like amateur hour.

What’s the Deal?

Monstrous pots are what online poker is all about. And Seven Deuce delivers.

Everyone who sits down at a Seven Deuce table places a prop bet into an additional side pot. The next player at the table to win a hand of online poker holding 7-2 as their hole cards wins the side pot.

Now here’s where it gets interesting. Winning with 7-2 isn’t about calling every raise and getting lucky on the river. It’s about playing your cards like a champion regardless of the hand you’ve been dealt.

Winning while holding the nuts is one thing. But winning with 7-2 after enticing big bets and forcing everyone to fold on the river? Now that’s just nuts.

More Action. More Intensity. More Money.

The side pot is a magical addition that dramatically changes the game in a way you won’t believe.

With the additional side pot, you’ll find more players bluffing with 7-2, hoping that everyone will fold like a cheap chair so that they can grab the side pot and laugh in everyone’s face. And that means you’ll find lots of people calling big bluffs to try to stop the worst hand in poker from winning big.

You’ll also find people playing amazing hole cards but trying to fool the table into thinking they’re bluffing so that they can lure in the bets and snag an even bigger pot.

And that means enormous bets and more action from pretty much everyone at the table. It’s a crazy circle and you’re going to love it.

Feeding the Pot

Each time you join a Seven Deuce table, you pay into the side pot. You do not have to feed the pot again until someone wins with a 7-2. If you leave a table, you’ll get your side pot money back.

Winning the Pot

To win the side pot, just take down a pot with 7-2 at any point in a hand. You’ll have to show everyone that you were holding 7-2, but it’ll definitely be worth it.

Read all the Details

Head on over to UltimateBet and click the Seven Deuce banner on the homepage.

Pitbull Poker – Great Bonuses, Easy Deposits, Low Withdrawal Fees

Real-money online poker players in the US are becoming increasingly frustrated with limited and costly banking options. I’ve recently surveyed the 50 or so online poker sites that accept real money players from the US, and found that Pitbull Poker is one of the best online poker options available.

  • Pitbull Poker accepts real-money players from all US states.
  • Pitbull Poker is flash-based, so no download is needed.
  • They offer hourly feerolls (mainly hold’em with $0 entry fee / $0.25 rebuy and add-on). While you will need to make a minimum deposit ($25) and meet the minimum withdrawal amount ($50), there is no playthrough requiremet on the deposit nor the freeroll winnings.
  • In addition to the $10 FREE that they offer to my visitors (contact support via live chat to claim your $10 FREE), they offer deposit bonuses to fit the stakes of all players.
  • For deposits, they offer eWalletXpress — an ewallet that is free to open an account, and free to fund from a banking account.
  • Pitbull Poker will issue checks of $50 or more for a low $8 fee. This is the best option for withdrawals of over $80. For withdrawals of under $80, have the funds paid back to eWalletXpress, and then from there to your banking account; while this incurs a 10% eWalletXpress fee, it’s a better option than the check from a percentage perspective.
