The Short Answer
True Poker is one of the oldest online poker brands in operation, running since 2001. It operates on the Winning Poker Network and shares the full player pool, tournaments, and software with ACR Poker, Black Chip Poker, and Ya Poker.
Important: As of February 2026, True Poker is no longer accepting new player registrations. Existing players retain full access to their accounts, the WPN player pool, and all tournaments. This review is maintained for existing True Poker players and for historical reference. New players should sign up through ACR Poker, Black Chip Poker, or Ya Poker for the same WPN experience.
