Responsible Gambling
Poker is played for real money. Set limits, know the signs of a problem and where to get free help in your country.
Poker rewards skill, but you are playing for money and the swings can run long. Every licensed operator listed on this site has to offer deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion. Use them before you think you need them.
Signs to watch for
- Playing longer or higher than you planned.
- Chasing losses or moving up in stakes to recover.
- Hiding play or spending from people close to you.
- Borrowing to play.
