Because of the current law in the US not all poker rooms can accept US citizens. Big poker rooms like Party Poker had to ban their american player, but other poker rooms like full tilt poker or pokerstars kept them. The poker site Doyle's room accepted US players a few months ago, but their poker network decided to ban US player so that had to swtich to another poker network in 2009.

Now Doyle's room and a few other poker rooms are still able to accept american players. Online poker is not illegal for US players.
