The Poker Fantasy exists for your entertainment and
pleasure of its members. As such we recommend that our
members play within realistic limits. As the saying
goes, 'Gamble with your head, not over it'.
The site is committed to helping you avoid gambling
problems where possible. It is very hard to predict
and identify problem gamblers so we try to work with
our members to resolve any trouble before it gets out
of hand.
If you are feeling uneasy about your situation we can
recommend that you might ask yourself some of the following
questions:
- Do you ever take time off from work due to gambling?
- Has gambling ever made your home life unhappy?
- Does gambling affect your reputation?
- Have you ever felt remorse after gambling?
- Do you ever gamble to get money with which to pay debts or otherwise solve financial difficulties?
After losing do you feel you must return as soon as possible and win back your losses?
- After a win did you have a strong urge to return and win more?
- Do you often gamble until all your money is gone?
- Do you ever borrow money to finance your gambling?
- Have you ever sold anything to finance gambling?
- Were you reluctant to use "gambling money" for normal expenditures?
- Do you ever gamble longer than you had planned?
- Have you ever gambled to escape worry or trouble?
- Have you ever committed, or considered committing, an illegal act to finance gambling?
Does gambling cause you difficulty in sleeping?
Do arguments, disappointments or frustrations give you an urge to gamble?
- 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 following sites for further information.

To have an enjoyable experience when visiting the Poker
Fantasy, we advise you to follow these guidelines:
Make sure that the decision to gamble is your personal
choice. Establish what constitutes an acceptable loss
before starting to gamble.
Never 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.
Seek professional help from Gamblers Anonymous if gambling
is not something that you want to do, but rather something
that you need to do.
Gamblers Anonymous
For most people gambling is a fun way to spend some
leisure time escaping from the monotony of everyday
life. However, for a small minority gambling has become
problematic. Compulsive gamblers have put a stain on
the good name of fair online and land based gaming institutions.
The Staff at the Poker Fantasy have been trained to
keep a keen eye out for the signs of problem gambling.
It is the Poker Fantasy’s goal to run a comfortable
and courteous establishment while simultaneously seeking
to assist people in need of support. The Poker Fantasy
believes it is possible to be both socially conscientious
and compliant to the wishes of our good intentioned
players.
There exist many groups designed to help compulsive
gamblers. Perhaps the best know is Gamblers Anonymous.
They are a fellowship of men and women with one common
trait, the desire to stop gambling compulsively. They
pool their experiences, strengths, and hopes to overcome
their addictions.
The management and staff have, due to do their long
experience in land-based casinos, the tools and ability
to identify the signs of compulsive and problematic
gambling. They use their experience to create an enjoyable
environment at their online tables while helping those
who need it outside of the casino. If you or some one
you care about wants their help please feel free to
contact them at: www.gamblersanonymous.org.uk.
Gambling is a form of entertainment enjoyed by millions
of people. The majority of people gamble without experiencing
any problems. However, it is possible for a person to
become obsessed with gambling. Although, according to
many studies, only 1 percent of the adult population
faces this problem, for us even one compulsive gambler
is one too many.
Underage Gambling
Participating in gambling activities by persons under
the legally gambling age in their jurisdiction is not
permitted.
The Poker Fantasy is not designed to attract children
and we aggressively discourage and track minors who
attempt to play at the Poker Fantasy. Unfortunately,
no system is foolproof. Some young people may escape
our detection. If you know a person under the legal
gambling age in their jurisdiction who is registered
with the Poker Fantasy, please notify us immediately.
We encourage you to gamble responsibly at the Poker
Fantasy and have a great time!
