Responsible Gaming

At Poker Player Cafe we love poker. Poker is the number one game to a lot of people, and to remain fun you need to play responsibly and within your budget. Please read these tips on how to keep your gambling under control and also read about some early warning signs which are really important to be aware of. This way you will be able to enjoy doing what you love the most, responsibly.

Set a budget

Before you play, decide on how much you are willing to risk. This way you can make smart, informed, decisions and not deposit money while playing and having just lost a big pot. Making budget decisions while you are not playing is very important.

Play at the right level

You should only play poker at levels suitable to the money in your account. Based on rules accepted by professional poker players, Poker Player Cafe is proud to offer you our Bankroll Protection feature. As your bankroll changes, it will enable you to play at tables suitable to the money in your account. This way you can be sure that you will never play at a level which is too expensive to your bankroll. To enable this feature, log in to the poker client, and select "My Account" and then click on the link to the "Bankroll Protection" page.

Limit your deposits

To really make sure that you stick to your plan and not spend more money than you have budgeted for, Poker Player Cafe enables you to set your own deposit limits. These can be set over a given period (daily, weekly or monthly) and they are activated immediately. These can be set when you create your account or later by clicking on "Limits" from the Cashier section inside the poker client.

Self-Exclusion

If the above measurements are not enough, we offer you the possibility to temporarily or permanently block yourself from playing at Poker Player Cafe. If you choose to permanently exclude yourself we will delete your account and it will not be possible to re-open it or to return to our site in the future. If you select to temporarily exclude yourself, you will not be able to play during the time period that you chose, but your account will be made available to you directly after your period has ended.

To activate any of these features, please click on the "Limits" button in the Cashier section inside the poker client.
