Responsible Gambling
Online poker can be a fun and social activity, but it carries real risks. We encourage all players to gamble responsibly and be aware of the signs of problem gambling. This page outlines the tools, resources, and practices that can help.
Principles of Responsible Gambling
- Set a budget before you play and stick to it
- Only gamble money you can afford to lose
- Treat gambling as entertainment, not a source of income
- Take regular breaks and avoid extended sessions
- Never chase losses
- Do not gamble while under the influence of alcohol or stress
- Keep gambling from affecting your relationships, work, or finances
Signs of Problem Gambling
Gambling may be becoming a problem if you:
- Spend more time or money than intended
- Feel irritable or restless when not gambling
- Borrow money to fund gambling
- Neglect responsibilities or relationships because of gambling
- Lie to others about how much you gamble
- Try to win back losses (chasing)
