Terms and Conditions | Online Poker

These terms and conditions explain how primarycareprogress.org works, what you can expect from the content on this site, and the limits of our responsibility as an independent review and comparison publisher. By using primarycareprogress.org, you agree to the terms set out below. If anything here is unclear, our Contact Us page is the way to reach us.

What primarycareprogress.org Is — and Isn't

primarycareprogress.org is an independent information and comparison site covering online poker rooms and poker apps available to players in the US. We publish reviews, rankings, comparison tables and guides — including pages like our roundup of online poker sites with the fastest payouts — to help readers compare operators before they sign up anywhere.

We are not a poker room, an online casino, a payment processor, or a gambling operator of any kind. We do not accept deposits, hold player funds, process wagers, or pay out winnings. Every real-money transaction happens directly between you and the poker site you choose, under that site's own terms, not ours.

Commercial Disclosure

primarycareprogress.org earns revenue through affiliate partnerships. If you click through to a poker site listed on this page and sign up or deposit, we may receive a commission from that operator. This arrangement never determines how a site is ranked or reviewed. Ratings reflect our own editorial assessment, and commercial relationships do not buy a better position — see our methodology below for how rankings are actually built.

Age and Eligibility

You must be at least 21 years old to use the information on this site to sign up with an online poker room, unless the specific state you are in sets a lower legal gambling age of 18, in which case that state's minimum applies. This site is not directed at, and must not be used by, anyone under the applicable legal age. Online poker for real money is regulated on a state-by-state basis in the US — there is no single federal framework — so availability, licensing and legal status vary depending on where you live. It is your responsibility to confirm that real-money online poker is legal in your state and jurisdiction before creating an account anywhere, and to comply with the terms and age requirements of any operator you use.

Accuracy of Information

We research publicly available information — including operator terms, bonus offers, licensing details and payment methods — and update pages when we become aware of changes. Even so, bonus terms, deposit limits, payout speeds, game offerings and licensing status can change at short notice at the operator's discretion. Figures like bonus amounts and offer terms shown on this site (for example, current promotions from sites such as Coinpoker, Americas Card Room or Ignition) are provided for comparison purposes and should always be checked against the operator's own terms and conditions before you rely on them. We are not liable for losses arising from outdated or inaccurate third-party information.

How We Rank and Rate Poker Sites

Our editorial ratings are our own assessment, not a customer-satisfaction score and not a guarantee of any particular experience. We weigh factors such as:

Traffic and player pool depth across cash games, tournaments and Spin & Go formats
Game variety, including No Limit Hold'em, Pot Limit Omaha, mixed games and fast-fold tables
Rake structure, rakeback and the real value of loyalty or rewards programs
Welcome bonus terms, including playthrough requirements and time limits, not just the headline figure
Deposit and withdrawal options, and typical cash-out timeframes
Licensing, security practices and how clearly a site discloses its terms
Mobile app quality and general software stability

Commission from an operator is never a scoring factor. A site's position in our rankings reflects this assessment, not the size of any commercial arrangement behind it. Ratings can and do change as sites update their offerings, and no rating is a promise of how any individual player's experience will turn out.

No Guarantee of Outcomes

Nothing on primarycareprogress.org should be read as a promise or expectation of winning money. Poker outcomes depend on the game, the field, variance and factors outside anyone's control, and skill does not remove the risk of losing your stake. We do not present poker as a source of income, a way to solve financial difficulty, or a reliable path to profit, and no content here should be interpreted that way. Any bonus, promotion or offer referenced on this site carries its own conditions — such as minimum deposits, wagering or playthrough requirements, game restrictions and expiry windows — set entirely by the operator, not by us. Always read an operator's full terms before opting in to a promotion.

Responsible Gambling

Real-money poker involves financial risk, and it should only ever be played with money you can afford to lose. This site does not encourage playing beyond your means, chasing losses, or using poker as a way to cope with stress or financial pressure. If you are concerned about your own gambling, or someone else's, free and confidential help is available around the clock through the National Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-GAMBLER. Many regulated states also run their own self-exclusion programs, and we do not offer any content or workaround intended to bypass them. Our Responsible Gambling page has more detail and further resources.

Third-Party Sites and Links

This site links out to the poker rooms and apps we review. Once you leave primarycareprogress.org and land on an operator's site, that operator's own terms, privacy policy and licensing conditions apply — not ours. We don't control those sites' content, availability or business practices, and we're not responsible for what happens after you leave this one. If an operator changes its offer, restricts a region, or alters its terms, that change is between you and the operator.

Limitation of Liability

primarycareprogress.org is provided for informational purposes. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim liability for any loss or damage — financial or otherwise — arising from your use of this site, your reliance on its content, or your dealings with any third-party poker site referenced here. This includes, without limitation, losses from gameplay, deposits, withdrawals, bonus disputes or account issues with an operator. Your relationship with any poker room you join is governed solely by that operator's own terms and conditions.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in our content, the operators we cover, or legal and regulatory requirements. The "updated" date shown at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of primarycareprogress.org after an update means you accept the revised terms.
