Staying in Control
Our customers come to Only Poker for the enjoyable poker experience that we provide. On occasion, some individuals may be
concerned about their gambling habits. For those who are concerned, the following questionnaire from
Gamcare may offer some valued guidance:
- Have others ever criticized your gambling?
- Have you ever lied to cover up the amount you have gambled or time you have spent doing it?
- Do arguments, frustrations or disappointments make you want to gamble?
- Do you gamble alone for long periods?
- Do you stay away from work, college or school to gamble?
- Do you gamble to escape from a boring or unhappy life?
- Are you reluctant to spend 'gambling money' on anything else?
- Have you lost interest in your family, friends or pastimes due to gambling?
- After losing, do you feel you must try and win back your losses as soon as possible?
- When gambling and you run out of money, do you feel lost and in despair, and need to gamble again as soon as possible?
- Do you gamble until your last penny is gone?
- Have you lied, stolen or borrowed just to get money to gamble or to pay gambling debts?
- Do you feel depressed or even suicidal because of your gambling?
These questions are provided to help an individual decide if he or she has a problem and needs to seek help.
How to Get Help
There are numerous organizations that can provide support and assistance to individuals who develop a problem with gambling.
If you think that you may have a gambling problem we recommend contacting any one of a number of self-help organizations for
guidance. For confidential advice and support concerning a gambling problem, please contact:
Managing Your Playing
For players who enjoy frequent gambling, it is not uncommon to occasionally overspend their budget. We advise all players to
make specific budget plans to ensure their gambling expenditures do not exceed their affordable limits.
Limiting Your Personal Expenditure
Only Poker provides tools to help you control your gaming. You can establish limits on the amount you deposit over a given
period, be it daily, weekly or monthly. Requests to tighten your limits will take effect immediately, whereas requests to
loosen those limits will be addressed within a 24 hour period. You can set these limits when you first create your account,
or you can change them anytime thereafter by visiting the Only Poker Cashier. From the Cashier, click on the 'Limits' button
at the top of the screen, and a page will be displayed where you can set your daily, weekly and monthly spending limits.
Self-Exclusion
If you believe you have a gambling problem, or just wish to take an enforced break from gaming, Only Poker gives you the power
to temporarily, or permanently, exclude yourself from playing at the site.
If you choose to exclude yourself permanently your request will be honored, your account closed, and you will not be permitted
to return to Only Poker at anytime in future. If you choose to request a temporary exclusion, your request will be honored and
you may apply for reinstatement at a later date, as per your set instructions.
You can exclude yourself from playing at Only Poker by visiting the Only Poker Cashier. Once at the Cashier, click on the
'Limits' button at the top of the screen and a page will be displayed where you can select a two day, one month or six month
self exclusion. Upon the expiry of the requested period of exclusion, your account will be unlocked automatically.
Preventing Under Age Gambling
To play poker at Only Poker you must be at least 18 years old, or of legal age to gamble in the jurisdiction in which you
reside, whichever is greater. We do employ a series of checks to ensure that no person under legal age has access to our live
gaming facilities. Providing inaccurate or dishonest information about a player's age will result in forfeiture of any winnings
and may result in civil and/or criminal prosecution.
In order to protect minors from accessing the site we do recommend that responsible players install Internet Filtering Software
on their computers. Employing a filtering software program will allow players to control the type of content that is displayed
as well as block specific websites and set up passwords to prevent access to Only Poker by any underage players with access to
your computer.

We hope that you enjoy your gambling experience at Only Poker and if at anytime you feel that there are issues that you would
