Sometimes the prospect of winning is just too much!

You know the feeling... you have the nuts, blackjack, or you've just seen the cherries on the slots. There’s a shiver down your spine, goose bumps on your arms... you've won! And this time it’s BIG!

This is one side of gaming. Of course, there is always the other side. Unfortunately, for a small number of players, the ability to stop gaming when your luck runs out does not exist.

That's why PokerRoom.com has developed new procedures and introduced many new features to give players the power to manage their gaming activity on PokerRoom.com and to ensure that only legally aged players can access the site.

Many responsible gaming associations believe one of the main steps towards reducing gambling problems is for the player to make an early choice as to how much he or she wants to spend on this past-time. That's why PokerRoom.com have developed a limitation system specific for each player.

In order to assist our players set their own limits, we have added a page called Responsible Gaming Settings. Here you can set your own daily/weekly or monthly limits for deposits.

If you've overspent on gaming this month, why not take a cooling off period with the Self Exclusion option? This enables you to block access to your account for 7 days or 6 months.
