PurePlay

PurePlay is the largest legal U.S. play-for-cash online poker destination, with a base of 1.7 million players and jackpot outlay of more than $4 million. The company was founded in 2004 by Silicon Valley entrepreneurs Jason Kellerman and Marc Marin, and was named the 2008 Innovation of the Year by eGaming Review Magazine.

The site allows users to play in free poker tournaments and win cash, or play for larger cash prizes by paying a monthly subscription fee. PurePlay does not ever require buy-ins, entry fees or deposits to enter any tournaments. PurePlay.com is available to both Windows and Mac users and has two membership levels, PurePlay Basic and The PurePlay Player's Club.
