Common questions
Is online poker legal in Nevada?
Yes. Nevada licenses online poker, and licensed rooms are open to anyone 21 or older who is physically in the state.
Can I get in trouble for playing online poker in Nevada?
We are not lawyers and this is not legal advice. Gambling laws in most states are aimed at people who run games, not people who play them, but the wording differs state to state. If it matters to you, ask a Nevada lawyer.
Which poker sites accept Nevada players?
Nevada has state-licensed poker rooms; use those.
Do I have to be in the state to play?
On a state-licensed site, yes: your phone or computer is location-checked. Offshore sites decide by the address you register with.
