Las Vegas-based social gambling company, Ultimate Gaming says they have launched the first legal, real-money poker website in the United States on Tuesday.
The online poker site will only accept players in Nevada at present under the new legislation for the state, but with more states in the US passing online gambling legislation the company hope to create compacts to increase player liquidity.
With this launch, Nevada wins the race to bring online poker back to the United States since 2011.
Ultimate Gaming executives say they hope to prove online poker can be done well, and encourage other states to tap into the market.
