ONLINE POKER

Online poker has undergone some major changes in recent years with the most memorable being “Black Friday” when the US Department of Justice shut down Full Tilt Poker one of the largest sites operating in the US. While many poker rooms pulled out of the US or restricted US players from signing up, others have remained and even expanded in the US market with many of those sites utilizing Merge Gaming software. Another change since the big shake up was the launch of several subscription poker sites like Skill Bet and Face Up Gaming that have found their way around the legalities of online poker, particularly in the US by creating a skill based game. While the debate over online poker still rages on there are still a good number of safe and secure poker sites in operation that have protected their position in the poker world.
