CardRoom.com provides a first rate destination site for adults of legal age to enjoy responsible gaming. CardRoom.com ("CARDROOM.COM" or the "Site") is wholly committed in its efforts to meet and exceed all appertaining guidelines as recommended by online gaming and content organizations. In addition, the Site is cognizant that while most players enjoy poker responsibly there is a small percentage that may attempt to participate when under the legal age limit or for whom such activity may potentially become a too prominent aspect of their life.

To address such issues and assist players in gaming responsibly we have implemented a number of policies and procedures to prevent underage or irresponsible players from participating at CardRoom.com. In addition, we stand ready to assist any member who exhibits irresponsible gaming behavior. Some of these features include:

• Links to prominent socially responsible organizations that provide information, advice and assistance
• Self help and awareness information
• Information and tools to protect underage access
• Customer service staff trained on problem gambling

Recognize A Problem Early

If you have any concerns about your or an acquaintance’s gaming participation and worry that you may be experiencing a loss of control, or if your gaming participation is having a negative impact on your social or professional life, we urge you to consider the following questions:

1. Do you ever cancel engagements or avoid responsibilities such as work or school to play online?
2. Have friends or loved ones ever expressed concerns over the frequency of your online sessions?
3. Are you honest about the amount of you spend playing when asked by others?
4. Do you ‘budget’ your gaming participation on a daily or weekly basis? Are you reluctant to spend this ‘gaming time on other things?
5. Do you ever feel depressed, unable to focus, or angry as a result of your gaming participation?
6. Do you ever turn to gaming as an escape from problems at home or at work?
7. Has your interest in gaming replaced your previous hobbies, forms of entertainment or pastimes to the point that you no longer participate in those activities?

If you answer 'yes' to any of these questions, you may be exhibiting signs of problem gaming. We suggest you seek some help from family & friends.
