Set limits before you play

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.

Use the site's tools

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.

Self-exclusion

If you need a longer break, ask the site to self-exclude you. Some states also run self-exclusion programs; check with your state's gaming regulator.

Age and location

You must be 21 or older to use the sites we cover. Online poker isn't legal everywhere, and availability varies by state, so check your local laws and each site's terms before playing.
