Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions govern your use of thebiographypen.com ("the site," "we," "us"). By browsing our reviews, comparison tables, and rankings of online poker sites, you agree to the terms set out below. If you do not agree, please do not continue to use the site.

What this site does and does not do

US Poker is an independent information and comparison resource covering online poker sites and apps available to US players. We publish research-based rankings, mini reviews, and comparisons covering factors such as traffic and liquidity, game variety, rake and rakeback, bonus terms, deposit and withdrawal methods, and mobile experience. We do not operate any poker site, we do not accept deposits, and we do not process real-money wagers. Any decision to sign up with, deposit at, or play on a poker site listed here is made entirely by the reader, at their own discretion and risk.

Affiliate and commercial disclosure

thebiographypen.com may earn a commission when readers click through to, and sign up with, some of the poker sites featured on this page. This is standard for comparison sites and does not cost the reader anything extra. Commercial relationships do not determine our rankings or editorial ratings — positions reflect our own research criteria, not payments received. Where we name a site, that placement is based on the same assessment process applied to every option we cover, whether or not a commercial relationship exists.

How we assess and rank the sites we list

Our editorial ratings for sites such as Coinpoker, Bovada, Stake, Ignition, Americas Card Room, Black Chip Poker, Ya Poker, BC Poker, Betonline, and Jack Poker are built from publicly available information on traffic and player pool size, game formats offered (cash games, MTTs, Sit & Gos, Spin & Go and fast-fold variants), rake structures and rakeback or loyalty programs, deposit and withdrawal options, mobile app quality, and customer support responsiveness. We do not deposit, play, or withdraw funds ourselves as part of this process, and we make no claim to have tested outcomes such as payout speed or software performance firsthand. Ratings are reviewed periodically and can change as sites update their offerings, promotions, or terms. Nothing on this page constitutes financial, legal, or gambling advice.

Bonus and promotion terms

Headline offers shown on this site — such as deposit matches, welcome bonuses, or promotional credits — are summarized from information published by the poker sites themselves and are subject to change without notice. Bonuses typically carry material conditions including minimum deposit amounts, playthrough or wagering requirements, time limits to clear the bonus, and eligibility restrictions by state or player status. Always confirm the full, current terms directly on the operator's site before depositing or opting in to any promotion. We are not responsible for discrepancies between the offers described here and those actually available at the time you sign up.

Age and eligibility

This site is intended only for adults who meet the legal gambling age in their state, which is 21 in most regulated US states, though some jurisdictions permit play from age 18. Online poker for real money is regulated on a state-by-state basis in the US; there is no federal framework, and availability, licensing, and legal status vary by location. It is the reader's sole responsibility to confirm that online poker is legal in their state before registering with any operator, and to comply with any applicable age, residency, or identity verification requirements. We do not knowingly direct content at, or accept engagement from, anyone under the applicable legal age. For details on how operators are licensed and regulated, see our Safety & Licensing page.

Responsible gambling

Poker involves financial risk, and no strategy, bonus, or site selection removes that risk or guarantees winnings. We do not present poker as a source of income or a way to solve financial difficulty. If gambling stops being enjoyable, starts affecting your finances, relationships, or wellbeing, or if you find yourself chasing losses or betting beyond what you can afford, free confidential support is available through the National Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-GAMBLER. Many states also offer their own self-exclusion programs and support resources; we encourage readers to use these tools where appropriate. More information is available on our Responsible Gambling page.

Accuracy and limitation of liability

We take reasonable care to keep information on this site current, including licensing status, bonus terms, and payment method details, but poker operators can change their terms, availability, and offerings at any time without notifying us. We make no warranty, express or implied, that content on this site is complete, error-free, or up to date at the moment you read it. To the fullest extent permitted by law, thebiographypen.com and its operators accept no liability for losses, damages, or disputes arising from your use of this site or your dealings with any third-party poker operator. You should always verify licensing, bonus terms, and payment details directly with the operator before signing up or depositing funds.

Third-party sites and links

This site links to third-party poker operators for informational purposes. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the content, terms, security practices, or customer service of any linked site. Once you leave thebiographypen.com and register with an operator, your relationship and any agreement is with that operator directly, governed by their own terms and conditions.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms and conditions from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the operators we cover, or legal requirements. The date shown at the top of this page reflects the most recent update. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
