Can I Play on PokerStars From Arizona?
PokerStars does not currently allow those from Arizona to play for real money on their website even though the state now regulates mobile sports betting. Alternatives include Americas Cardroom, available to play for real money in all 50 states. They also feature $25 Million GTD tournaments regularly. New player bonuses are now up to $2000.
Sundays are always spectacular at Americas Cardroom thanks in part to the Sunday Special at 2:30pm ET. With a hefty $125,000 GTD prize pool and an affordable $200+15 buy-in, you’ll want to make the Sunday Special part of your plans every weekend. You can buy in directly or win your seat through one of our many cheap satellites.
