Legal
Responsible gambling
Poker is a game with money in it. Here is how to keep it a game.
Before you sit down
- You must be 18 or older, and online poker must be legal where you live.
- Deposit only what you can afford to lose, and decide your limit before you start.
- Keep your poker money apart from the money you live on.
- Do not play to win back what you lost. That is how a bad night becomes a bad month.
- Do not play drunk, tired or angry.
Signs it has stopped being a game
You play longer than you meant to. You hide how much you play or lose. You borrow to play. You think about the next session when you should be doing something else. If one of these is you, take a break.
