Online poker players can rejoice because the PokerRoom.com is officially back. One of the premier online poker sites, PokerRoom was a pioneer in the field when it opened its tables to players in 1999. The site was live for a decade before bwin and Ongame decided to shut the website down. The company was sad to “close” an icon and announced it as an “end of an era.” However, just a few weeks ago, the gaming company released a statement, but with the complete opposite news. After three years, the company has decided to reopen the PokerRoom for online poker players.

Now when players want to play poker online for cash, they can turn to their old friend, the PokerRoom. The site still offers a large variety of different games and tournaments. Also, the friendly community that had been established is sure to return once players return from other online poker sites.

The next big issue for the poker room to overcome in the upcoming months is the issue of players for the United States. This is part of the reason why the poker soom had to shut down to begin with. While the poker room has reopened to players outside of the United States, US players cannot play cash poker games on the site. However, US players can access the forums and other player resources available through the PokerRoom. These resources can be valuable for players who want to return to PokerRoom but just can’t at the moment. Using these resources can help aid the transition back to the PokerRoom for US players who hope that the current regulations in the United States are overturned.

Players from other countries can play games for real cash and can currently return to the premier online poker site, PokerRoom.com
