Casual Player: Most poker rooms require you to download their software. This software does not affect your PC in anyway. It will not put any viruses or steal personal information from your computer. It is a safe download. With the software you can actually play poker for FREE or watch money games till you are ready to play for real money! Carbon Poker (upper right corner) is a safe place to play. I have cashed out and played with no issues. Be aware of the D.O.J. shutting down online poker rooms so place money in there that you feel comfortable losing if something happens.

I do believe all indicators are pointing to legalizing online poker. The USA needs money and its another source of income. I feel one of the reasons it got shut down in the first place was because a lot of money was leaving the USA through online poker.

Serious Player: If, however, you're a serious player looking to play for real money I recommend signing up through here so you can get rakeback (up to 50%). Rakeback means the casino pays a portion of the rake back to you.

While I created this web site to generate money my utmost reason is to educate and protect players from fraud. Happiness comes from the family and living life not the dollar. So I won't steer players wrong. And if something changes for the worse I change my recommendations. I apologize for anyone who signed up for Full Tilt and lost their money, I lost money also.

Best of luck, fuzzypup
