The PokerStars website is available in the United States, but only players in a handful of states can access the real money games listed there. This isn't because PokerStars doesn't want you at the tables. The poker site is active in almost all the US states that have legalized online poker.

Your gambling winnings are generally subject to a flat 24% tax. However, for the following sources listed below, gambling winnings overR$5,000 will be subject to income tax withholding: Any sweepstakes, lottery, or wagering pool (this can include payments made to the winner(s) of poker tournaments).

CubGG operates within the sweepstakes rules where they are legal. The Site does not permit members to wager real money and has no ability to accept deposits as it is a "free play" site only.

You can also join online clubs that will easily allow you to link up with players and earn the right to enter exclusive events. If you want to play with a group of friends too, you can do so simply by creating your own custom game. Whatever you say goes here, they play by your rules.
