If gambling feels out of control, call or text 1-800-GAMBLER in the United States. If you are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services.

Warning signs

Take a break and seek help if any of these feel familiar.

  • Playing with money needed for bills, rent, food, family, or debt.
  • Chasing losses or increasing stakes to recover quickly.
  • Hiding play, lying about losses, or neglecting work, school, or relationships.
  • Feeling anxious, angry, or unable to stop when you planned to stop.

Set boundaries before playing

Healthy poker starts before the first hand.

  • Set time and money limits before you arrive.
  • Separate poker bankroll from household money.
  • Take breaks, eat, hydrate, and leave when the session plan says to leave.

Money and balances

Use receipts and history as information, not pressure to continue.

  • Outstanding time balances, dues, buy-ins, and cash-outs should be accurate and auditable.
  • If a balance looks wrong, ask the club for a reviewed adjustment instead of disputing casually at the table.
  • Do not borrow or lend money through MyPokerMaps social features.

Self-exclusion and breaks

Self-exclusion policies are controlled by jurisdictions and clubs.

  • Contact the club directly for venue-specific exclusion or cool-off procedures.
  • Use state or national self-exclusion resources where available.
  • Ask support to help locate account-level notification controls if you need less product contact.

Club responsibility

Clubs should operate within local laws and their own responsible-gaming policies.

  • Operators should train staff on risk signals, disputes, and appropriate escalation.
  • Cash, balance, and membership reversals should be handled through audited workflows.
  • Public listings should not encourage illegal or unsafe play.

Notification control

The product should not blast players with unnecessary prompts.

  • Use profile settings to reduce marketing and social notification volume where available.
  • DMs and registered tournament reminders should be separate from general activity digests.
  • Friend check-in alerts should be limited to explicit friend groups, not every social connection.
