Many Online Poker Rooms Still Accepting Americans
Believe it or not, there are still a number of different online poker sites that still accept American players, even after the events of last Friday. While the FBI seized the domain names of PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker and Absolute Poker, many smaller poker room operators remain in operation, happy to accept the new influx of displaced USA poker players.

While the future of American online poker is unclear, at the moment, many sites are still available for those players looking to get their online poker fix. In fact, many players have already started migrating to alternative sites, which have seen their numbers swell in the last week.
For instance, the Merge Network has seen big gains in traffic ever since the Friday shutdown of the major sites. The Merge Gaming Network is home to some long established online poker rooms, some of which already had a fairly sizable USA presence even before the recent events.
Take, for instance, Carbon Poker, which is the largest room on the Merge Network. Carbon Poker has already established itself as an excellent option for American players, and with the shutdown of the three biggest USA poker sites, it may now be the top choice for Americans.
But other rooms on the Merge Gaming Network are also worthy of attention. Rooms such as Sportsbook.com, SuperBook and Players Only Poker are known for having a variety of deposit methods available to American players, and have been in operation long enough to earn the trust of the online poker community.
Other rooms have also seen the benefits of reduced competition and a sudden wave of USA poker players looking for a new place to play. For instance, Bodog Poker has reportedly seen a 25% increase in traffic just in the past week; Bodog was once a major player in the USA poker marketplace, and has name recognition advantages over most of the other minor poker sites. In addition, the Cake Network and Everleaf Network have also seen significant gains, suggesting that there are plenty of USA poker players to go around.
