Responsible Gaming

Gambling is a form of entertainment enjoyed by millions of people and although the majority of people gamble without experiencing any problems, it is possible for a person to become obsessed with gambling. The Nuts Poker League exists for the entertainment and pleasure of its members and for us even one compulsive gambler is one too many.

As such we recommend that our members play within realistic limits. As the saying goes, 'Gamble with your head, not over it'. If you are feeling uneasy about your situation we can recommend that you might ask yourself some of the following questions:

1. Do you ever take time off from work due to gambling?
2. Has gambling ever made your home life unhappy?
3. Does gambling affect your reputation?
4. Have you ever felt remorse after gambling?
5. Do you ever gamble to get money with which to pay debts or otherwise solve financial difficulties?
6. After losing do you feel you must return as soon as possible and win back your losses?
7. After a win did you have a strong urge to return and win more?
8. Do you often gamble until all your money is gone?
9. Do you ever borrow money to finance your gambling?
10. Have you ever sold anything to finance gambling?
11. Were you reluctant to use "gambling money" for normal expenditures?
12. Do you ever gamble longer than you had planned?
13. Have you ever gambled to escape worry or trouble?
14. Have you ever committed, or considered committing, an illegal act to finance gambling?
15. Does gambling cause you difficulty in sleeping?
16. Do arguments, disappointments or frustrations give you an urge to gamble?
17. Do you ever have an urge to celebrate any good fortune by a few hours of gambling?

If the answer to one or more of these questions is 'yes' then we would advise you to seriously consider contacting the sites listed in the 'Getting Help' section for further information.

To ensure you have an enjoyable experience when visiting FullOnPoker.com, we advise you not to gamble if:

• You are younger than the legal gambling age.
• It interferes with your work or other responsibilities.
• You are in recovery for addictive disorders or dependencies.
• You are under the influence of alcohol or other substances.
• You are attempting to make up for prior gambling losses.
