Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions govern your use of boxroundup.com (referred to here as "we," "us," or "the site"). By browsing our reviews, comparison tables, and rankings of online poker sites, you agree to the terms set out below. Please read them before relying on anything you find here.

What This Site Is and Isn't

US Poker is an independent review and comparison resource covering online poker sites and apps available to players in the US. We publish editorial content, rankings, and mini-reviews based on publicly available information about operators, including licensing status, game variety, traffic, bonus structures, and payment methods.

We are not a poker operator, payment processor, or gambling regulator. We do not accept deposits, process wagers, or hold player funds. Any account you open, deposit you make, or hand you play is between you and the poker operator directly, subject to that operator's own terms and conditions, which take precedence over anything described on this site.

Age and Eligibility

This site and the operators we cover are intended strictly for adults. Most states that regulate online poker set the minimum age at 21, though a small number permit real-money play from 18. You are responsible for confirming the legal age and legal status of online poker in your specific state before signing up with any operator, and for confirming you meet an operator's own eligibility requirements, including identity verification. Nothing on this site is directed at, or intended to be accessed by, anyone under the applicable legal age.

Editorial Content and Accuracy

We research operator licensing, bonus terms, banking options, and game offerings to keep our content current, and pages are marked with their last update date. That said, online poker sites change their promotions, terms, and availability frequently, and regulatory status can shift by state. Always verify current bonus terms, wagering or playthrough requirements, deposit limits, and licensing details directly on the operator's own site before you sign up or deposit. We are not liable for losses arising from outdated information, an operator's change in terms, or a site becoming unavailable in your state.

Editorial ratings shown alongside operators, such as those on our Best Online Poker Sites for Real Money page, reflect our own research and scoring criteria. They are not customer satisfaction scores, and they are not a guarantee of any outcome if you play at a given site.

Affiliate Relationships and Commercial Disclosure

US Poker earns revenue through affiliate partnerships with some of the poker operators we cover. If you click through to an operator from our site and go on to sign up, we may receive a commission. This is standard practice for comparison sites and it does not cost you anything extra.

Commission never determines our rankings or ratings. Operators cannot pay to appear higher on our lists, and we do not remove or soften a genuine limitation because a partnership exists. Where we highlight a welcome bonus or promotion, we aim to note the material conditions attached to it — deposit requirements, wagering or playthrough terms, and eligibility restrictions — but the operator's own terms page is always the authoritative source.

No Guarantee of Winnings

Poker is a game that combines skill and chance, and skill does not remove the risk of losing money. Nothing on this site should be read as a promise or implication that playing poker, using a particular site, or following any strategy will result in profit. We do not present poker as a source of income, and none of our content is intended to encourage anyone to gamble beyond what they can comfortably afford to lose.

Responsible Gambling

If gambling stops being enjoyable, starts affecting your finances, relationships, or wellbeing, or if you find yourself chasing losses, help is available. Call or text 1-800-GAMBLER for confidential support, available in most states. Many regulated states also offer their own self-exclusion programs and support resources directly through licensed operators — we encourage you to use them if needed. Our Responsible Gambling page has more information on recognizing warning signs and where to find support.

Licensing and Regulation Notes

Online poker in the US is regulated on a state-by-state basis; there is no single federal license covering online poker nationwide. Where we describe an operator as licensed or regulated, we base that on information available to us at the time of review, but licensing status can change and can vary by state. We do not verify licensing on an ongoing, real-time basis, and it remains your responsibility to confirm that a poker site is legally licensed to operate in your state before creating an account or depositing funds.

Use of the Site

You may browse and use the content on boxroundup.com for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not copy, republish, scrape, or redistribute our reviews, rankings, or written content without permission. Links to other pages on this site, such as our poker site rankings, are provided to help you navigate our own content and do not constitute a partnership with, or endorsement by, any third party beyond the operators reviewed.

Limitation of Liability

We provide this site's content on an "as is" basis and make no warranty that it is complete, error-free, or suitable for any particular purpose. To the extent permitted by law, US Poker is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of this site, your reliance on its content, or your dealings with any third-party poker operator, including losses connected to gambling activity, account issues, or disputes over bonus terms.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in our content, our affiliate relationships, or the regulatory landscape. The date shown at the top of this page reflects the most recent update. Continuing to use the site after changes are posted means you accept the revised terms.
