Responsible gambling

If gambling stops being fun, call 1-800-GAMBLER for free, confidential help. The National Council on Problem Gambling also lists help at ncpgambling.org.

Decide on a budget, a time limit and a point where you stop, before you sit down. Never chase losses or play with money you need for anything else.

Many sites let you set limits, take a break or close your account. If you can't find those settings, ask the site's support team.

If you need a longer break, ask the site to self-exclude you. Some states run self-exclusion programs. They generally cover sites licensed in that state, which may not include the sites we cover, so ask the site directly too.

This site is for adults 21 and older. Each site sets its own minimum age, and some states set a higher one, so check the site's terms. Online poker isn't legal everywhere, and availability varies by state, so check your local laws before playing.
