Terms and Conditions

These terms explain how redrobotlabs.com may be used, what our poker site reviews and rankings are (and are not), and the responsibilities you take on as a reader before acting on anything you find here. By using this site, you accept the terms below. If you don't agree with them, please don't continue using the site.

What this site is and is not

Best Poker Sites is an independent information and comparison resource covering online poker sites available to US players, including brands such as Coinpoker, Bovada, Stake, Ignition, Americas Card Room, Black Chip Poker, Ya Poker, BC Poker, Betonline and Jack Poker. We publish reviews, comparison tables and rankings to help readers evaluate their options. We are not a poker operator, we do not accept deposits or wagers, and we do not process any gambling transactions ourselves. All real-money play happens on the third-party operator's own platform, under that operator's own terms.

Nothing on this site is financial or legal advice, and nothing here should be read as a promise or guarantee of any outcome. Poker involves real financial risk, and no strategy, bonus or site removes that risk. If you want a fuller picture of how we rank and compare operators, see our Best Online Poker Sites for US Players guide.

Affiliate relationships and how rankings work

Best Poker Sites may earn a commission when a reader clicks through to a poker site and signs up. This is a standard affiliate arrangement and it does not change what we publish: operators cannot pay to move up our rankings, and a commercial relationship with a brand is never a substitute for our own review of that brand's traffic, bonus terms, banking options or software.

Our review process looks at factors including player traffic and liquidity across cash games and tournaments, rake and rakeback structures, game variety (No Limit Hold'em, Pot Limit Omaha, mixed games, Spin & Go formats), software and mobile app quality, deposit and withdrawal methods and speeds, and the clarity of welcome bonus terms. Ratings shown alongside each operator are editorial scores we assign, not customer reviews or independently audited results, and they can change if an operator's product, terms or reputation changes.

Bonus and promotion terms

Welcome offers referenced on this site — such as deposit matches or bonus cash — always come with conditions set by the operator, not by us: minimum deposits, playthrough or wagering requirements, time limits, game-weighting restrictions and eligibility rules by state. We summarize headline offers where we can, but the operator's own terms and conditions are the final word, and those terms can change without notice. Always confirm current bonus terms directly on the operator's site before depositing.

Eligibility and legal use

This site and the operators it covers are intended for adults only. Most US states that regulate online poker set the minimum age at 21, though a small number permit play at 18 — you are responsible for confirming and complying with the legal age and licensing rules in your own state before signing up anywhere. Online poker for real money is regulated on a state-by-state basis in the US; there is no federal framework, and availability varies by location. It is your responsibility to check whether real-money online poker is legal where you live and to use only sites that accept players from your state.

Responsible use of this content

Poker is a game with genuine financial risk, and no operator or bonus changes that. We do not present poker as a source of income, and nothing on this site should be read as suggesting that skill removes the risk of losing money. If gambling stops being enjoyable, starts affecting your finances, relationships or wellbeing, or you find yourself chasing losses, please stop and seek support. Call or text 1-800-GAMBLER, or visit our Responsible Gambling page for further resources, including state-specific self-exclusion programs. This site never assists in bypassing a self-exclusion program, and doing so is your legal responsibility to respect.

Accuracy of information

We work to keep operator details, bonus figures, licensing information and comparison data accurate as of the date each page was last updated, but poker sites change their products, terms, banking options and market availability regularly. We can't guarantee that every figure or feature listed remains current at the moment you read it. Always verify bonus terms, deposit and withdrawal methods, and licensing status directly with the operator before you sign up or deposit.

Limitation of liability

Best Poker Sites is provided on an "as is" basis. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the operation of any third-party poker site, including its games, payment processing, customer support or dispute resolution. Any account you open, deposit you make, or issue you experience with an operator is between you and that operator. We are not liable for losses, disputes or damages arising from your use of any site listed here.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in our review process, affiliate relationships or legal requirements. The date shown at the top of this page reflects the most recent update. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the revised terms.
