Online poker regulation by jurisdiction
Whether an online poker table is legal depends entirely on where the player sits. Most jurisdictions of this matrix license and supervise operators, some prohibit the service class outright, and in the United States and Canada the question is settled state by state or province by province. Each row states one jurisdiction's regime and cites the official document that establishes it.
Read → country-matrixUS online poker by state
The United States has no federal online poker regime: each row of this matrix states one State's interactive gaming framework as its own official document establishes it.

Barcelona is a tier-1 stop of the European tournament calendar: the European Poker Tour's official 2026 schedule lists a Barcelona stop, and Casino Barcelona is the stop's venue in this site's coverage universe.

This guide names what each room's official page states about itself and what to verify there before travelling.

Rozvadov is a village on the Czech-German border whose casino resort, King's Resort, hosts the WSOP Europe — the European bracelet series — alongside a year-round festival calendar. This guide states what the venue's official page says about reaching and staying at the stop, and what the rule documents in the sources panel establish about playing there. It quotes no price and no schedule: those live on the official pages it points to.
Read → guideMonte Carlo poker stop — getting there, staying, playing
Monte Carlo is a fixture of the European tournament calendar: the European Poker Tour's official 2026 schedule lists a Monte Carlo stop, and the Casino de Monte-Carlo — the Société des Bains de Mer's landmark casino — is the stop's venue entry in this site's coverage universe. This guide states what those two official pages carry, and defers every moving detail to them.
