Sportsbook.ag poker, much like Carbon Poker, is part of the Merge network of sites that is open to USA players. Though this site is only semi-well-known for its sportsbook, it is even lesser known in terms of Hold'Em. However, people who haven't tried it are certainly missing out on one of the best experiences in America.

Getting started is easy since the client is downloadable on both Windows and Mac computers. Once you have followed the installation instructions, simply open the client and follow the directions to create your account. At this point, you might choose to go ahead and make your deposit so you can take advantage of their lucrative welcome bonus which is a 100% match worth up to $650, but you can also check them out for free with $200 in cash. The choice is yours, but make sure you choose wisely because you can only qualify for one or the other.

There are freerolls available for brand new members, loyal customers, and even VIPs. They have varying prize pools but there is never any kind of entry fee. For the new member, the first tournament is a $500 freeroll. From that point forward, they are offered to VIPs and to everyone in general once certain milestones have been met. The competition is fierce and the prizes are smaller than those offered up in other venues, but they still provide a way to get something for nothing.

There are also plenty of ways to fund your account here, even from the US. You can choose your VISA card which has the highest approval ratings, but you can also use Western Union or electronic checks. Withdrawal methods are limited to courier checks here which can take up to six weeks to arrive, but this is rarely the case. There is one free withdrawal per month at a maximum of $2500 per instance. Additional withdrawals can be processed for a fee, however. Aside from poker, Sportsbook.ag also offers up a full-fledged casino and a bookmaker for placing stakes on your favorite teams and events.
