Online poker has become harder for players based within the United States of America to play after the introduction of laws which prevented online poker rooms from processing payments from US based players in a bid to prevent the country from falling into economical downturn.
Although the US government thought that they were doing a good thing for it's residents, the action was heavily resented by US based players, especially those who were earning a living from their sessions at the online poker tables.
With strict US government laws now firmly in place since 2006, finding an online poker room that is willing to still process payments from American citizens is becoming increasingly harder to find but there are still a number of sites that are able to process their payments, although it would mean that those players are going against the laws of their state.
This is a personal choice and not something that we either encourage, nor do we condone the behaviour but after being asked by a friend of mine to find a list of Washington Poker enabled poker rooms.
Although US law has made it harder for bigger online poker sites to process payments, that doesn't mean that those players who still wish to play online poker have to suffer within the smallest poker rooms available, instead some of the biggest names still offer them a home to play their poker online, find a complete list of Washington Poker accepting sites at Poker Bonus Hub.
Remember that you are responsible for your activities while depositing into online poker rooms and we advise that you look at the laws within your state surrounding the use of online poker rooms before you begin.
