UK Poker Players Page UK Gambling, UK Travel abroad, UK Book store, Information for UK Poker Players

Although this is an American site as many of the poker sites are, this is a page just for Brits! We may be an American company but the owner was born and raised in England, so here are some pages that may be of some use.

When it comes to playing poker online Brits have a big advantage over their American cousins. For one thing the Exchange Rate is outstanding right now in favor of the pound. This means that in tournament play Brits can really cash in, entering big money tournaments for a small fraction of the equivalent dollar value. Brits can leverage that strong pound to bring intimidating bankrolls to the table to push players with less money out of the game.

From a point of view of online safety some Brits may be concerned about putting money into a foreign poker / casino company based in America. This really should not be an undue concern for Brits. America has, in most states, draconian gambling laws. Bars in America do not have fruit machines, often they don't even have pinball machines for fear that someone may wager on the outcome of the game. Therefore most of the major poker sites are actually based offshore in nearby islands that are not governed by US law. This means that actually even American players are effectively placing their money in a foreign web site when they gamble or play poker online. Although there have been some hiccups with some poker sites at the beginning most of the major sites are well regulated and safe. Online poker is now such a massive money maker, there is no need to be crooked in any way. They can make far more money with an honest rake than a short term scam. Check out our top pick of online poker sites by clicking here. Our advice is to play in US Dollars rather than trying to find the smaller UK games. Poker is massive here in the US and there are more games going on 24/7 than on the smaller UK sites.
