Not listed? Then none of our partner operators accepts players from that country, and we don't recommend a room there. Countries such as France, Italy, Spain and Australia have their own licensed markets we do not cover. We do explain the position, without a partner offer, in Finland, Switzerland, Iceland, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, South Korea, Tunisia, Singapore, India and Bangladesh.

How this site works
Every page here starts from one question: can you actually sign up and play from where you are? We only list an online room on a country page when that operator publicly accepts players from that country. If none of our three partners does, the page says so and shows no link — a poker room that later bounces you at the cashier is worse than no recommendation at all.
Around that we build the live picture for each market: the casinos and card rooms that spread poker, the festivals and series stopping there this year, and the players from that country with the deepest tournament records.
Real money, or sweepstakes?
GGPoker and WPT Global are real-money rooms: you deposit, play for cash, and withdraw. ClubWPT Gold is a sweepstakes platform for the United States and Canada. You never buy chips directly; you buy Gold Coins to play with, receive Sweeps Coins as a bonus, and Sweeps Coins can be redeemed for prizes where state law allows. Each operator card says which model you're looking at.
Availability changes
Operators enter and leave markets, US states pass new laws, and licences get issued. Every market page shows what the operators publish as of our last check; we update it as soon as we know. If you find a page that no longer matches reality, tell us: info@poker-in.com.
Frequently asked questions
Is online poker legal where I live?
It depends on the country and often on the state or province. Every market page on this site has a short, plain-English legal note and names the local regulator or support organisation. It is general information, not legal advice — for anything with real consequences, check the rules that apply to you.
Why isn't my country listed?
Because none of our partner operators accepts players from there. France, Italy, Spain and Portugal, for example, each have their own licensed markets that GGPoker and WPT Global do not serve, and the United States has real-money poker only in a handful of states. We would rather show nothing than point you at a room that will refuse your deposit.
Do you earn money from the operators?
Yes — if you open an account through a link on this site, the operator may pay us a commission. It never costs you more, and it does not change which operators we show for a market: that is decided purely by where they accept players. See the affiliate disclosure in the footer.
How old do I have to be?
At least 18 almost everywhere, 19 in several Canadian provinces, and 21 in Belgium and some US states. Operators verify age and identity before the first withdrawal, and usually before the first deposit.
