The current Blackchip poker code, open to US players, is a 150% match on your first deposit, as opposed to the standard 100%. This means that to get the $750 maximum bonus, you don’t need to deposit $750, only $500.

And if you think that looks appealing, at 5 Dimes the bonuses are exponentially higher. The welcome bonus at this site may only be 50%, but you get it three times, not just once, on your first 3 deposits. And the potential maximum is increased tenfold, with $2,000 available from the first deposit, $1,000 from the second deposit and $2,000 again from the third deposit.

Well the answer, to set American minds at ease, is Yes, there are. Among the places where you can still play Texas Holdem Poker if you live in the U.S. are Bodog Poker, Blackchip Poker, Intertops.com, Carbon Poker, Cake Poker and a handful of others.
