        Responsible Gambling Tips

        There are a number of useful guidelines to help you gamble more responsibly:

        Never chase your losses, the poker tables will still be there tomorrow and tomorrow you may be in a better frame of mind to play.
        If you are tired, stressed, intoxicated or even just distracted, consider putting poker on hold until you are in a better state to play.
        Make sure to undertake plenty of non gambling related activities in your life otherwise gambling could become more of a chore than a pleasure.
        By involving your friends you are more likely not to become too wreckless, plus your friends can act as a safety net if you do get carried away.
        Only gamble in situations where you hold an advantage, don't play games like roulette where the house has the advantage over you.
        Play at the right limit for your bankroll, if you have $500 then play the $5 tournaments not the $100 ones.
        Take regular breaks away from your PC, your mind will be fresher.

        Have You Got a Gambling Problem?

        There are signs that might indicate you are developing a gambling problem:

        If you find that you can't control the number of hours you are spending playing poker.
        If you can't control the amount you are spending at the poker tables.
        If other parts of your life are being negatively effected because of playing poker, such as your job.
        If you don't have enough money left to lead a normal life outside of poker, like for paying the bills.
        If you need to borrow money or sell your belongings in order to finance your poker playing.
        If you start becoming secretive about your poker, fooling others into thinking that you're spending less than you actually are.
        If your relationships with family members or partners are suffering because of playing poker.
