Unfortunately, due to the vague and uncertain legal and regulatory environment in the United States, PokerSavvy does not allow United States residents to sign up for SavvyPoints or rakeback offers at real money poker rooms. We regret that we need to do this and hope that the US government will soon clarify the law and create a framework that allows US-based poker players to play the game they love safely and openly. We encourage you to contact your Congressperson to express your view that poker is not, and should not, be illegal and we encourage you to support candidates at all levels that share that view.

Step 2: Choosing Your First Online Poker Room

If you've never played online poker, we first recommend setting aside a minimum of $50 USD with which to play. This will be your "bankroll" - money that will be treated as your poker bank account, which we'll look to grow throughout this guide. The more money you can devote to your bankroll to begin the better - but don't put up any money that you can't afford to lose!

For this guide, we're going to start with $100 USD. You can follow this guide with less, as well as more, but we recommend $100 USD.

With over 20 rooms to choose from, most players don't know where to start. Our goal is going to be to look for poker rooms that offer:

1) Low Stake games - So we don't risk our entire $100 on a single hand
2) Easy bonus completion requirements - We want to complete this bonus as fast as possible, so we can earn our SavvyPoints and move to the next room.

Our recommendations for your first room:

Bonus: 100% up to $400

888Poker

Pros:

  • Soft competition
  • Excellent New Software Updates
  • Good First Deposit Bonus
  • Good Selection of Lower Limit Games

Bonus Requirements:

  • Deposit at least $50
  • earn 250 888Poker FPPs (400 FPPs required for Eastern Europe residents.)

If the personality of each online poker site could be represented by a different poker pro then 888Poker’s would undoubtedly be along the lines of an Amarillo Slim or Doyle Brunson. A stalwart of the industry surpassed in many ways by younger competitors yet still very much capable of enduring success. Shaky software, haphazard game set-up, and decidedly unspectacular looks make 888Poker unlikely to be at the front of the race for new recruits in the continuing poker boom, although it does have one major attraction that makes it a room well worth visiting: soft targets and plenty of them.
