Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions set out the rules for using this site, the review site you're reading right now, published under the ohmaidarling.com name. By browsing our pages, reading our reviews, or clicking through to any operator we cover, you accept these terms. If you don't agree with them, please don't use the site.

What this site is and isn't

Poker is an independent review and comparison resource for online poker rooms and poker apps. We publish research, rankings and mini-reviews to help players compare sites on things like traffic, game variety, bonus terms, deposit and withdrawal methods, and mobile experience. We are not a poker operator, we do not accept deposits, and we do not run any games ourselves. Nothing on this site should be read as an offer to gamble — it's information intended to help you decide where you might want to play, elsewhere, at your own discretion.

Affiliate relationships and how we earn

Some of the poker sites listed on this page, including Coinpoker, Bovada, Stake, Ignition, Americas Card Room, Black Chip Poker, Ya Poker, BC Poker, Betonline and Jack Poker, are partners we have a commercial relationship with. If you click through to one of these operators and go on to sign up, we may earn a commission. This does not cost you anything extra, and it does not buy an operator a higher position in our rankings — placement reflects our own editorial assessment, not payment. We disclose this plainly because we think you're entitled to know when money changes hands behind a recommendation.

How we assess and rank the sites we cover

Our rankings and ratings are built from publicly available information about each operator: reported traffic and player pool size, game formats on offer (cash games, MTTs, Sit & Gos, Spin & Go variants), rake structures and rakeback or loyalty schemes, welcome bonus terms including wagering and time-limit conditions, deposit and withdrawal methods and reported processing times, software and mobile app quality, and customer support availability. Ratings are editorial opinion, not a guarantee of performance, payout speed, or game fairness at any given operator. We update information periodically, but operator terms change without notice, so always confirm current terms directly with the site before you deposit.

Accuracy of bonus and promotional information

Welcome bonuses and promotions shown on this site — such as deposit matches or bonus cash offers — are subject to change by the operator at any time. Figures displayed here reflect what was published at the time of our last review, but wagering requirements, minimum deposits, game restrictions, and expiry windows are set entirely by the operator, not by us. Always read the operator's own terms before opting into any promotion, and never treat a bonus headline as a guaranteed cash value.

Age and eligibility

This site is intended for adults only. You must be 21 or older to use this site in most US states, though a small number of states set the minimum age at 18 — check your state's specific requirement before attempting to sign up with any operator. Real money poker is regulated on a state-by-state basis in the US; there is no federal online poker framework, and legal availability varies by where you live. It's your responsibility to confirm that online poker is legal in your state and that any operator you consider accepts players from your location before you register or deposit.

No guarantee of winnings

Poker involves real financial risk. Nothing on this site implies that playing poker online will make you money, replace an income, or produce a predictable return. Skill can influence outcomes over time, but it does not eliminate the possibility of losing money, and short-term results are never guaranteed. Any figures, examples or comparisons on this site are for illustration only and are not a promise of results at any operator.

Responsible gambling

We take player wellbeing seriously. If gambling stops being fun, or starts to feel like something you can't control, help is available. Call or text 1-800-GAMBLER for confidential support, and check your state's gaming authority for local self-exclusion tools, many licensed US operators also offer their own deposit limits and self-exclusion options directly in-app. Our Responsible Gambling page has more detail on setting limits and where to find support. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and never as a way to solve financial difficulty or escape stress.

Licensing information we present

Where we reference licensing or regulatory status for an operator, this reflects information available to us at the time of writing and should not be treated as legal confirmation. Regulatory status can change, and requirements differ by state. Always verify an operator's current licensing directly with the relevant state gaming authority before you deposit funds.

Limitation of liability

We research and verify information carefully, but we make no warranty that content on this site is complete, current, or error-free. We are not responsible for losses, disputes, delayed withdrawals, account issues, or any other outcome arising from your use of a third-party poker site, even one reviewed or recommended here. Any relationship, deposit, or dispute involving an operator is between you and that operator.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time as our content, partnerships or the regulatory landscape change. The version published on this page is the current one, and continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms.
