Terms and Conditions

These terms explain how Online Poker may be used, what our content is (and isn't), and the responsibilities that sit on both sides when you use this site to research online poker sites and bonuses. By browsing nycfoodiverse.com, you agree to the terms set out below. If you don't agree with them, please don't use the site.

Who this site is for

Online Poker is intended for adults of legal gambling age who are researching online poker operators, bonuses and promotions. Online poker is regulated on a state-by-state basis in the US, and there is no federal framework covering it. Depending on where you live, the minimum legal age to gamble is 21, though a small number of states set it at 18. You are responsible for confirming the legal age and legal status of online poker in your own state before signing up anywhere. This site does not knowingly target, and is not intended for, anyone under the applicable legal age.

What this site does — and doesn't — do

Online Poker is an independent comparison and review resource. We research publicly available information about poker operators, including their bonus terms, licensing claims, game formats and payment options, and we summarize what we find into rankings such as those on our Online Poker Bonuses: The Best Sites Ranked and Compared page. We are not a poker room, payment processor, or gambling operator. We do not accept deposits, process withdrawals, or facilitate real-money play of any kind. Any account you open, deposit you make, or hand you play happens directly between you and the operator you choose, under that operator's own terms.

Accuracy and how our content changes

We take reasonable care to keep bonus offers, ratings, and factual details current, but online poker promotions change frequently — deposit match percentages, playthrough requirements, and eligibility rules can all be updated or withdrawn by an operator at short notice. Editorial ratings on this site (for example, the scores shown next to Coinpoker, Bovada, Stake and other listed sites) reflect our own research and judgment; they are not customer reviews, and they are not a guarantee of any outcome. Always confirm current bonus terms, wagering requirements, and eligibility directly on the operator's own site before you deposit.

Affiliate relationships and how we're paid

Online Poker may earn a commission when a reader clicks through to a listed poker site and signs up. This is how the site is funded, and it does not affect how we rank or describe operators. Commission is never exchanged for a better position, a higher rating, or omission of a genuine drawback. Where an offer carries conditions — a minimum deposit, a wagering requirement, a time limit — we aim to state those alongside the offer itself, but the operator's own terms and conditions always take precedence over anything summarized here.

No financial or gambling advice

Nothing on this site is financial advice, and nothing here should be read as a suggestion that playing poker is a way to make money, cover expenses, or solve financial difficulty. Poker outcomes are uncertain, and skill does not remove the risk of losing money. Bonuses, rakeback structures, and loyalty programs are marketing tools with real conditions attached — they are not a promise of value, and we do not guarantee that any bonus will be profitable to clear. Readers should only ever gamble with money they can afford to lose, and should stop if gambling stops being enjoyable or starts to feel like a problem.

Licensing, legality and your own responsibility

Online poker legality varies by state, and licensing arrangements differ between operators — some hold US state-issued licenses, others operate under offshore licenses. We do not verify licensing claims made by operators beyond what is publicly stated, and inclusion on this site is not a certification that an operator is licensed, regulated, or legal to use from your specific location. It is your responsibility to check that real-money online poker is legal in your state and that any site you're considering accepts players from your location before you register or deposit.

Responsible gambling

Gambling can be harmful if it isn't kept under control. If you're worried about your own play or someone else's, free and confidential help is available around the clock through the National Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-GAMBLER. Most states also run their own self-exclusion programs, and this site does not offer any way to work around a self-exclusion you've already put in place. For more on setting limits and recognizing warning signs, see our Responsible Gambling page.

Limits on our liability

Online Poker provides information "as is," without warranty that it is complete, current, or error-free. We are not liable for losses, damages, or disputes arising from your use of a third-party poker site, including issues with deposits, withdrawals, bonus clearing, account verification, or customer support. Any dispute with an operator should be raised directly with that operator, and where relevant, with the regulator that licenses it.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in the sites we cover, applicable regulations, or how the site operates. The version in effect is the one published here, and continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms.
