Terms and Conditions
These terms explain how Online Poker Sites operates, what our content is (and isn't), and what you agree to by using eatpakd.com. Please read them before relying on anything you find here, including our rankings of offshore poker sites.
What this site does
Online Poker Sites is an independent review and comparison resource covering online poker sites, including offshore operators such as Coinpoker, Bovada, Stake, Ignition, Americas Card Room, Black Chip Poker, Ya Poker, BC Poker, Betonline and Jack Poker. We publish editorial reviews, comparison tables and rankings based on publicly available information, operator disclosures, and our own research into features like game traffic, software, deposit methods and bonus terms. We do not operate any poker site, hold player funds, or process wagers ourselves.
Commercial disclosure
Online Poker Sites may earn a commission when readers click through to a listed poker site and sign up or deposit. This is how the site is funded. Commercial relationships do not determine our rankings or editorial ratings — a site's position reflects our assessment of factors such as game variety, traffic, licensing, security and value of promotions, not payment received. Where we cannot verify a claim made by an operator, we say so rather than repeating it as fact.
Accuracy of information
We make a reasonable effort to keep reviews, bonus terms and comparison data current, but poker operators change their promotions, terms, licensing and product lineup without notice. Bonus offers referenced on this site — such as deposit matches, welcome packages or freeroll access — are described as accurately as possible at the time of writing, but always carry conditions (minimum deposit, wagering or playthrough requirements, time limits, eligible games, and geographic restrictions) set by the operator, not by us. Always confirm current terms directly with the poker site before depositing or opting into a promotion.
Offshore poker sites and your responsibility
Because there is no federal online poker framework in the US and only a handful of states regulate and license online poker directly, many of the operators reviewed on this site accept US players from an offshore basis rather than under a US state license. This carries different legal and consumer-protection standing than a state-licensed site: dispute resolution, fund segregation and regulatory oversight vary by operator and jurisdiction (for example Malta, Curaçao, or other licensing bodies). Nothing on this page constitutes legal advice. It is the reader's responsibility to:
- Confirm that online poker, including offshore play, is lawful where they are located before signing up
- Understand that offshore sites are not subject to the same state-level licensing as regulated US operators
- Review each operator's own terms, KYC verification requirements and withdrawal policies before playing
- Check Payments and Cash-Out Speed for how deposits and withdrawals typically work before committing funds
Eligibility and age restrictions
This site and the operators reviewed on it are intended for adults only. Players must be at least 21 years old in most US states, or 18 where a state permits it, and must meet any additional eligibility rules set by the poker site itself, including identity verification. We do not knowingly direct content at, or accept use of this site by, anyone under the applicable legal age. If you are unsure of the minimum age or legality of online poker in your location, check with your state's gaming regulator before registering anywhere.
No guarantee of winnings
Poker involves both skill and chance, and outcomes are never guaranteed. Nothing on eatpakd.com should be read as a promise of profit, a claim that any strategy removes the risk of losing, or an assurance that a bonus or promotion will result in net winnings. Wagering and playthrough requirements attached to bonuses mean a portion, or all, of a bonus amount may never become withdrawable. Only play with money you can afford to lose, and never gamble as a way to solve a financial problem.
Responsible gambling
We encourage every reader to set limits before playing, take regular breaks, and avoid chasing losses. If gambling is causing you stress, financial strain, or affecting your relationships or work, help is available. In the US, call or text 1-800-GAMBLER for confidential support. Several states also run their own self-exclusion programs; if you have self-excluded through a state program, that exclusion should be respected and not worked around through this site or any operator we mention. See our Responsible Gambling page for more resources.
How our reviews are put together
Our editorial team assesses each poker site against a consistent set of factors: traffic and player pool depth, game variety (cash games, MTTs, Sit & Gos, Spin & Go formats), rake structure and rakeback value, software and mobile app quality, deposit and withdrawal methods and typical cash-out speed, and the material terms attached to welcome bonuses. Ratings are editorial judgments, not customer-review scores, and no site can pay to improve its position — commission arrangements are separate from how a site is scored.
Limitation of liability
Online Poker Sites provides information "as is" without warranty of any kind. We are not liable for losses, disputes or damages arising from your use of any poker site listed on this page, including issues with deposits, withdrawals, account verification, or bonus terms. Any dispute with an operator is between you and that operator, subject to its own terms and licensing jurisdiction.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as our content, partnerships or the regulatory landscape change. The date shown at the top of this page reflects the last update. Continued use of eatpakd.com after a change means you accept the revised terms.
