Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions govern your use of a--s--a--p.com (referred to here as "Poker," "we," "us" or "our"). By browsing this site, using our comparison tables, or clicking through to any poker site we cover, you agree to the terms set out below. If you do not agree with any part of them, please stop using the site.

What This Site Is — and What It Isn't

Poker is an independent information and comparison resource focused on offshore online poker sites and apps. We research publicly available information about operators such as those listed on our ranked poker sites page — including game formats, traffic, bonus terms, payment methods, and mobile compatibility — and present it in a format designed to help you compare your options.

We are not a poker operator, a payment processor, or a gambling regulator. We do not accept deposits, hold player funds, or process wagers. Any account you open, deposit you make, or hand you play happens directly with the poker site in question, under that site's own terms — not ours.

Affiliate Relationships and Commercial Disclosure

Poker earns revenue through affiliate partnerships. When you click through from our site to a poker room and sign up or make a deposit, we may receive a commission from that operator at no extra cost to you. This is how the site stays free to use.

These commercial relationships do not determine how sites are ranked or reviewed. An operator paying us a higher commission rate does not move it up our tables, and we do not remove or downplay negative findings to protect a partnership. Where a limitation exists — slow payouts, thin traffic at certain stakes, restrictive bonus terms — we say so regardless of the commercial arrangement.

How We Assess and Rank Poker Sites

Our editorial ratings, such as those shown for Coinpoker, Bovada, Stake, Ignition, Americas Card Room, and the other sites we cover, reflect our own research into publicly available material: stated licensing information, published bonus terms, supported deposit and withdrawal methods, game variety across cash games, tournaments, Sit & Gos and fast-fold formats, and general reputation. We do not fabricate traffic numbers, invent bonus figures, or claim to have deposited, played, or withdrawn funds ourselves — our research is desk-based, drawing on information operators publish and on how their terms compare against one another.

Ratings and rankings can change as operators update their bonus terms, payment options, or market availability. We update pages periodically, but you should always confirm current terms directly with the operator before signing up or depositing.

Offshore Sites, Licensing, and Your Own Responsibility

Many of the poker sites reviewed on this page operate under licences issued outside the United States, since there is no federal framework for online poker and only a handful of states regulate it directly. Where a site claims a specific licence — for example from a Curaçao or Malta-based authority — that claim comes from the operator, not from us, and we do not independently verify or guarantee its accuracy or ongoing validity.

It is your responsibility to check whether playing on an offshore site is lawful in your specific state or territory, and whether doing so complies with any local restrictions or self-exclusion programs you may be enrolled in. Poker does not advise on the legality of offshore online poker in your jurisdiction and accepts no liability for your decision to use any site listed here.

Age and Eligibility

This site, and the poker sites it reviews, are intended strictly for adults of legal gambling age. Most US states set the minimum age for real-money online poker at 21; a small number permit 18. You must meet the minimum legal age in your own location and confirm eligibility directly with any operator before registering. We do not knowingly direct content toward, or collect information from, anyone under the applicable legal age.

Bonus Terms and Promotional Offers

Headline bonus figures shown on this site — such as deposit matches, welcome packages, or bonus coin allocations — are supplied by the operators themselves and are subject to change without notice. Every bonus carries material conditions, typically including a minimum deposit, a wagering or playthrough requirement, a time limit for clearing the bonus, and game or format restrictions. We summarize these terms where we can, but the operator's own terms and conditions always take precedence. Read them in full before opting in to any promotion.

No bonus, promotion, or feature described on this site is a guarantee of winnings. Poker involves both skill and chance, and skill does not eliminate the risk of losing money.

Responsible Gambling

Nothing on this site should be read as encouragement to gamble beyond what you can comfortably afford to lose, to chase losses, or to treat poker as a source of income. If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling, free confidential support is available around the clock through the National Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-GAMBLER. Our Responsible Gambling page lists further resources, including state-specific self-exclusion programs, and we ask that you respect any self-exclusion you have already entered into rather than seeking ways around it.

Accuracy of Information

We take reasonable care to keep listings, ratings, and bonus details current, but poker operators can and do change their terms, availability, and licensing status without warning. We make no warranty that information on this site is complete, error-free, or up to date at the moment you read it. Always verify key details — bonus terms, payment methods, state availability — directly with the operator before you sign up or deposit.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Poker and its operators are not liable for any loss, damage, or dispute arising from your use of this site or your dealings with any third-party poker operator listed here. This includes, without limitation, losses connected to deposits, withdrawals, bonus disputes, account restrictions, or gameplay outcomes at any linked site.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms and conditions from time to time to reflect changes in our content, our affiliate relationships, or applicable regulation. The "updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
