While online poker players in the United States are busy picking up the pieces from the recent government shutdown of US operations for three of the world’s top poker sites, players in the rest of the world are continuing to enjoy the bounty of those and other sites where the action is still raging.

Sites like Carbon Poker and Titan Poker that serve players in the UK, Europe and elsewhere on the planet other than the United States are still seeing record numbers of players sitting down at their tables. And at sites like Titan Poker and Carbon Poker bonus code offerings are on the rise. Make no mistake, the world of online poker is still thriving.

Plenty of tables are having cards dealt as you read this, and plenty of tournaments are in full swing.Granted, if you live in the US you may have to look a little harder for a site that will take your money (Titan Poker won’t, Carbon Poker will) but wherever you reside don’t think for one second that the US battle against online poker has in any way jeopardized the game.
