Responsible Gaming

The Company (as defined in the Terms and Conditions) is dedicated to providing its members with a responsible gaming environment. Not only is it our mission to provide our members with the most entertaining poker experience but it is also our duty to help prevent compulsive usage of and underage access to our gaming products.

Responsible Gaming

None of our services or products are designed to attract children or adolescents. We actively discourage and track persons under the age of 21 who attempt to play at our websites. We use sophisticated verification systems which can identify minors who log in to our software. The Company reserves the right to request proof of age from any customer and may suspend an account until adequate verification is received.

Nevertheless, we recognise that the internet is readily accessible in many homes around the world. As a result, gaming companies and parents must work together to protect under age people from gambling. To ensure the safety of under age people, we recommend installing filtering software to block them from accessing certain websites and programmes.

Below are links to some such providers and software:

Tips for Parents:

- Do not leave children unattended near your computer when the poker software is running. You must take special care to ensure that they do not access our services via your devices.
- Protect your gambling programs with password access.
- Do not allow persons under 21 to participate in any gambling activity.
- Keep your username, password and deposit method details out of the reach of children.
- Educate your children about the legality and the potential damage of underage gambling.
- Limit the length of time your children spend online.
- Take particular care regarding the use by minors of facilities such as mobile devices.
Unfortunately, no system is foolproof. If you know a person under the age of 21 who is registered with us, please notify our support at [email protected]

We help you play responsibly

Gaming can be entertaining. But you can’t always win. Losing is a part of the game and you have to be prepared for it. Therefore you should play responsibly, and not risk money that you can’t afford to lose. Gaming can also be addictive and make you lose the perspective of time and money. We want all your gaming experiences to be as positive as possible, even if you lose. Therefore we work hard to help you control your own gaming.

Remember

Gambling is a form of entertainment. It is not a way to get rich quickly and pay off your debts.
Gambling is a game of chance. There are no formulas that guarantee winnings.
Make sure that the decision to gamble is your choice.
Never try to chase your losses.
Check the amounts you spend on a regular basis in the Cashier.
Make sure you know the rules of the games you play.

Like many things, what is enjoyable in moderation can be disastrous in excess.
