That means you’ll need to go to one of several offshore sites that have a poker room.

Still, there are no state-sanctioned online poker sites in Maine. State law allows for two casinos in Maine, and there are also tribal bingo halls, horse race betting, and Maine just put new gambling laws on the books that legalized sports betting, although the process is still being developed. Overall, the Pine Tree state seems to have a fairly permissive attitude toward all gambling.

There are no laws stating outright that it’s illegal, but there are also no laws that legalize it. Most states, including Maine, don’t take an official stand either way, despite having a locally-regulated sports betting market. Like most states in the U.S., the issue of online poker is a bit of a grey area in the Pine Tree state.
