While often portrayed as an American pastime, poker is played worldwide and is no longer just a game for cowboys in saloons. From Nottingham to Macau, poker crosses borders like few other games do. This website is dedicated to the sport of poker, its rules and history, and how players can find the best places to play it.

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is a series of poker tournaments held annually since its inception in 1970. The WSOP is widely considered the most prestigious poker event in the world, and its winners are considered to be the best in the game.

Up until 2010, the World Series of Poker Player of the Year standings were based solely on performance at the Main Event in Las Vegas. Starting in 2011, however, the WSOP took events from the World Series of Poker Europe into account as well, and in 2021, live broadcast coverage moved to PokerGO for the first time.

There are a number of ways to make a deposit and withdraw money from an online poker site, though many require that you use a credit card or cryptocurrency. Some have a minimum deposit requirement, while others might only allow you to withdraw if your total balance is below a certain amount. Some sites also offer loyalty programs, in which you can earn bonuses for winning specific poker hands or playing in different tournament types.
