Naughty PokerUS poker, room by room

Every regulated room and casino in the US, listed state by state — with the paperwork, not the hype.

Long read

Updated We read the operator paperwork

Featured was the editor’s shelf, and almost everything on it was a long explainer rather than a news item. It held the question-and-answer page on the PokerStars launch in New Jersey, a player’s review of the New Jersey rooms with traffic and mobile notes, the explainer on the proposed federal ban known as the Restoration of America’s Wire Act, the competing revenue projections for a regulated California market, the analysis of the Amaya purchase of PokerStars, and a multi-part tax guide for American online players, including the foreign-account reporting rules.

21+. Play only where your state regulator allows it. We take a commission from some operators; it never moves a room up the list. Gambling problem? Call the National Problem Gambling Helpline, 1-800-MY-RESET (1-800-697-3738).

Those pieces are not in this archive. The explainers that are kept sit with the state they are about.

  • New Jersey — the market most of the shelf was about.
  • Pennsylvania — the state that followed it into regulation.
  • Blog — explainers written by the desk now.
