Terms and Conditions

These terms explain how US Poker works, what our content is (and isn't), and what you agree to by using transformlexington.com. By browsing this site or clicking through to any poker operator we mention, you accept the terms set out below. If you don't agree with them, please don't use the site.

What this site is — and isn't

US Poker is an independent information and comparison resource covering online poker sites and apps available to players in the US. We publish reviews, rankings, comparison tables and guides such as our Best Online Poker Sites for Real Money page to help readers compare operators on things like traffic, game variety, bonus terms, deposit methods and mobile experience.

We are not a poker operator, a licensed gambling business, a bank, or a payment processor. We do not accept deposits, run games, hold player funds, or process withdrawals. Any account you open, deposit you make, or hand you play is between you and the operator you choose — not us. We have no control over, and accept no liability for, an operator's software, payouts, customer support, or ongoing terms.

How our rankings and reviews are put together

Our editorial team researches each operator against a consistent set of factors: licensing status, player traffic and liquidity, cash game and tournament variety (including MTTs, Sit & Gos and fast-fold formats), rake and rakeback structure, welcome bonus terms, deposit and withdrawal methods, mobile app quality, and customer support. Ratings reflect this research, not a guarantee of performance, and they can change if an operator's terms, licensing or offering changes.

Commission from an operator, where it exists, never buys a higher position on our tables. Ratings are set by our editorial criteria first; placement in a comparison table or ranking is not for sale.

We do not open real-money accounts, deposit funds, or play with an operator's software to produce these reviews. Our assessments are based on publicly available information, operator disclosures and ongoing research, and they should be treated as a starting point for your own due diligence — not a substitute for reading an operator's own terms before you sign up.

Affiliate and commercial relationships

US Poker may earn a commission if you click through to an operator and open an account, at no extra cost to you. This is how the site is funded. These commercial relationships do not influence our editorial ratings or the order in which operators appear, and we disclose them here in the interest of transparency.

Bonus and promotion terms

Headline offers shown on this site — such as deposit matches, bonus percentages or promotional cash — are set by the operator, not by us, and are subject to change without notice. Bonuses typically carry conditions including minimum deposit amounts, playthrough or wagering requirements, time limits to clear the bonus, and eligibility restrictions by state or player status. We try to note the material conditions attached to each offer, but you should always confirm the current terms directly on the operator's own site before depositing, since promotions are updated more often than we can guarantee this page reflects.

Age and eligibility

This site is intended for adults only. You must meet the minimum legal gambling age in your state — 21 in most regulated US states, though a small number set it at 18 — before engaging with any real-money poker site we reference. Online poker for real money is legal only in certain US states and is regulated on a state-by-state basis; there is no federal framework covering it. It is your responsibility to confirm that online poker is legal in your location and that you meet age and residency requirements before creating an account with any operator. We do not knowingly direct content at, or accept traffic from, anyone under the applicable legal age.

Responsible gambling

Nothing on this site should be read as encouragement to gamble beyond what you can comfortably afford to lose, or as a suggestion that poker is a reliable source of income. Skill can influence outcomes at poker, but it does not remove the risk of losing money, and results are never guaranteed. If gambling stops being enjoyable, starts affecting your finances, relationships or wellbeing, or you feel you're chasing losses, free and confidential help is available around the clock through the National Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-GAMBLER. Our Responsible Gambling page has further resources, including state-specific self-exclusion programs, which we fully support and never attempt to help readers circumvent.

Accuracy and limitation of liability

We take reasonable care to keep information on transformlexington.com current and accurate, including licensing status, bonus terms and payment options, but operators change their offerings frequently and errors or delays in updates can happen. We make no warranty, express or implied, that any information on this site is complete, current or error-free. To the fullest extent permitted by law, US Poker is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your reliance on content published here, or from your use of, or inability to use, any third-party operator's site or service.

Links to operator sites are provided for convenience. Once you leave transformlexington.com, that operator's own terms, privacy policy and licensing apply — not ours.

Content ownership and use

Text, reviews, comparisons and other original content on this site belong to US Poker unless otherwise stated. You're welcome to link to our pages, but reproducing or republishing our content elsewhere without permission isn't allowed.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in our content, the operators we cover, or applicable law. The "updated" date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised. Continuing to use the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated terms.
