How do I know a good poker site that is legit
Hi :)
First of all, you should take into account the laws of your country. And if the legislation of your country allows you to gamble online, then you can choose the site where it will be better to play. For starters, you can try playing in our freerolls at Replay, which will definitely not entail any liability. And then I would advise you to turn your attention to those sites with which our community cooperates. First of all, these are 888, WPT, partypoker.

To find a good and safe poker site, check if it has a proper gambling license, good player reviews, fast payouts, fair game certification, and reliable customer support.

You can consider the number of players participating in a room, and you can also see if the poker room is active on social media. GGPoker is one of the rooms that consistently blocks accounts where activity is suspicious, so I consider it honest.

Start playing freerolls after you have made a small amount do a test withdrawal. If the test wd works then you can move up in stakes as your bankroll supports it. Never keep more on the site than you need if you are not comfortable with the site.

The big ones (that host Cardschat freerolls) including pokerstars, 888Poker, WPTGlobal, PartyPoker and ReplayPoker are all legit.

To pick a good and trustworthy poker site, check if it has a valid license (MGA, UKGC, Curacao), a solid reputation in forums, secure deposits & withdrawals, and stable software. Make sure there’s enough traffic for your favorite games, decent rake, and good promos. Try freerolls first before depositing!

You can get a no deposit bonus only at 888poker. The amount is small - only $8, but it is enough to test the program and the convenience of managing the game process.Playing for money, you can make a profit not only from winnings, but also from generating rake. For each bank in cash and participation in competitions, poker players pay a commission to the room. For this, customers are awarded points, which, according to the loyalty program, can be exchanged for cash bonuses, tournament tickets.

It looks like you reside in the USA so the majority of responses above won't apply.
You won't be able to play on the big ones (ie. GGPoker, Pokerstars, Partypoker, 888Poker)

It depends on what state you reside in. In some states you can play on 888, wsop, and some others that you won't find in the rest of the USA.

Sites you will be able to play on >>>
A.C.R. (AmericasCardroom, BlackChipPoker)
Global Poker
SportsBetting (Betonline)
Bovada

I know people who play on all of these sites and enjoy all of them. I don't live in the states but I play on a couple of these sites and plan on playing on the others soon as well.

The poker sites listed on this CardsChat platform are legitimate and trustworthy. Start with the freerolls that CardsChat offers, and then you can get used to the online poker platform that you want to continue playing on a regular basis.

If the time zone suits you, then the best choice is ACR, there is a withdrawal to cryptocurrencies, be careful with 888poker, your payments may not appear for a very long time.
