Terms and Conditions
These terms and conditions govern your use of whilethemenwatch.com, an independent site that reviews and compares real money poker apps and sites for readers in the US. By continuing to browse the site, you agree to the terms set out below. If you do not agree with them, please do not use this site.
What This Site Is and Is Not
Top Online Poker Sites is a media and comparison publication. We are not a poker operator, a gambling licensee, a payment processor or a regulator. We do not accept deposits, hold player funds, process wagers or operate any of the poker rooms referenced on this site. Every review, ranking, table and write-up on whilethemenwatch.com — including those covering Coinpoker, Bovada, Stake, Ignition, Americas Card Room, Black Chip Poker, Ya Poker, BC Poker, Betonline and Jack Poker — reflects our own research into publicly available information such as stated licensing, promotions and features, and is provided for general informational purposes only.
You should always confirm current bonus terms, licensing status, availability in your state and site features directly with the operator before signing up or depositing, since these details can change without notice.
Affiliate and Commercial Disclosure
Top Online Poker Sites may earn a commission when a reader clicks through to a listed poker site and signs up, deposits or otherwise engages with that operator. This is how the site is funded. These commercial relationships never determine our rankings or editorial ratings — an operator cannot pay for a higher position, a better score or removal of a limitation we've identified. Our full approach to scoring is set out on our Best Online Poker Sites & Apps for Real Money Play page.
Accuracy of Information
We make reasonable efforts to keep bonus offers, ratings and operator details current as of the fact-check date shown on each page, but online poker sites frequently change their promotions, terms, deposit methods and availability by state. Where a discrepancy exists between our content and an operator's own terms, the operator's terms always govern. Nothing on this site should be treated as a guarantee that any bonus, feature or condition described will still apply at the time you visit an operator's site.
No Guarantee of Outcome
Poker involves skill, but no amount of skill removes the risk of losing money. Nothing published on whilethemenwatch.com should be read as a promise or implication that playing poker, following our rankings, or claiming any bonus will result in profit, income or any particular outcome. We do not encourage anyone to spend more than they can comfortably afford to lose, and we do not encourage chasing losses.
Age and Eligibility
The content on this site is intended solely for adults who are of legal gambling age in their state of residence and who are legally permitted to participate in real money poker. In most regulated US states this is 21 and older; a small number of states set the minimum at 18. Real money poker in the US is regulated on a state-by-state basis — there is no federal framework — so availability, minimum age and licensing requirements vary by location. It is your responsibility to confirm the rules that apply where you live before registering with any operator, and to ensure that doing so does not violate local law.
This site is not directed at, and must not be used by, anyone under the applicable legal age.
Responsible Gambling
Real money poker carries genuine financial risk, and this site does not present it as a reliable source of income or a solution to financial difficulty. If you or someone you know is struggling to control gambling, free confidential support is available around the clock through 1-800-GAMBLER. Several states also run their own self-exclusion and support programs, and we encourage readers to use them where needed. Our Responsible Gambling page has more detail on recognizing warning signs and finding help.
Limitation of Liability
Top Online Poker Sites provides its content on an "as is" basis and makes no warranties, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy or reliability of any information published here. To the fullest extent permitted by law, whilethemenwatch.com and its operators are not liable for any loss, financial or otherwise, arising from decisions made based on content found on this site, including decisions to register, deposit or play at any listed poker operator.
Intellectual Property
The text, layout, graphics and original review content on whilethemenwatch.com belong to Top Online Poker Sites unless otherwise credited. Operator names, logos and trademarks referenced on this site remain the property of their respective owners and are used here for identification and comparison purposes only.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in the site, the operators we cover, or applicable law. The "updated" date shown on this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of whilethemenwatch.com after changes are posted counts as acceptance of the revised terms.
