121 Of the 152 new casinos on our list name a live casino, where poker is dealt by a person
Poker at an online casino means games against the house: video poker, casino hold'em and other table variants. Player-versus-player poker rooms are a separate product; look for a poker room in the casino's menu if that is what you want.
In video poker the paytable sets the return. Jacks or Better with full pay (9 for a full house, 6 for a flush) returns about 99.5% with perfect strategy; the 8/5 version of the same game returns about 97.3%.

Short answer
What should I look for in casino poker?
In video poker, read the paytable before you play: the full house and flush payouts tell you the RTP. 9/6 Jacks or Better returns about 99.5% with perfect play, 8/5 about 97.3%. In casino hold'em and similar games, check the ante bonus and side bet rules, which carry most of the edge differences.

Questions
New casinos for poker: questions
What does 9/6 mean in video poker?
The payout per coin for a full house (9) and a flush (6) in Jacks or Better. 9/6 is the full-pay version, about 99.5% RTP with perfect strategy. 8/5 and 7/5 tables pay less on those hands and return less.
Can I play poker against other players at new casinos?
Only where the casino runs a poker room, which it lists in its menu. Most casino lobbies offer house-banked poker such as video poker and casino hold'em, where you play against the paytable or the dealer.
Does video poker count toward bonus wagering?
Often at a reduced rate or not at all, because its RTP is high. The game weighting table in the bonus terms lists it separately.
Is skill involved in video poker?
Yes. Which cards you hold changes the return, and the RTP quoted for a paytable assumes perfect strategy. See our Jacks or Better strategy guide.
What is casino hold'em?
A house-banked version of Texas hold'em. You play your two cards and the board against the dealer's hand, and the ante pays extra on strong hands according to the table's paytable.
Responsible gaming
Play only if you are 18+ and it stays fun
These rules apply on every page of this site. A young casino has less history to judge it by, so the limits matter more.
Adults only, everywhere
You must be 18 or older, and older in some countries. A casino can ask for ID before your first withdrawal, and new casinos often do.
Responsible gamingStart small with an unknown casino
Deposit an amount you would accept losing to a failed withdrawal, and request a small cash-out early to see how the casino handles it.
