Responsible Bankroll Basics

Poker has financial risk. Decide your limit before you play.

  1. Treat the full buy-in as money you may lose.
  2. Do not chase losses or borrow money to continue playing.
  3. Set time and spending limits before entering the room.
  4. Take a break when poker stops being enjoyable.
  5. Use only properly licensed venues and follow local rules.
