Responsible Gaming

PokerNXT is built by players for players, and thus, deeply ingrained within our systems are processes that enable a player to eliminate the adverse effects caused by irrational decision making while playing.

The platform has responsible gaming tools that can save a player from a rainy day. By using self-exclusion features, table and monetary limits, a player can define any deviations, that may help limit exposure to the game, to avoid addiction, excessive deposits to avoid unnecessary monetary allocations.

Subtle observations by the platform of prolonged durations of play will trigger pop ups to remind you to take a break, have some water or food, and relax yourself after a strenuous session.

We shall continue our quest to add more such features that lead to better performance and efficiency at the same time, more control of a player on the game at hand with a focus on a healthy gameplay.
 

PokerNXT Responsible Gaming Features & Tools

Age verification

Any underage player who has provided dishonest or inaccurate information regarding their exact age may have all winnings forfeited and could face criminal prosecution.

 

● Every person signing up for a new account must check a box that indicates that they are at least 18 years of age.

● When a player creates an account with us, we collect their name, address, and birth date to confirm that the player is at least 18-years-old.




 

Self-exclusion

We provide you with the ability to exclude yourself from playing for various periods.
 

Self-exclude your account

Please note that self-exclusion and time outs are irreversible for the duration of the specified time. Also, all self-exclusion periods are inclusive of all games. Your self-exclusion will apply to your NXT Account, and to any product that requires your NXT ID to play and covers both real money and play money activity.

If you want to block yourself from a particular game, go to the main lobby of your mobile app or desktop software, select 'Responsible Gaming'> 'Restrict Table Limit' and set your limit to 'Don't play.'
  ● We offer 12-hour and 24-hour cooling off periods as well as 7 days, 30 days, 60 days, and 120 day time out periods.
You will not be able to play any games that we offer for real money or play money on our software. Once you click the button that requests a time out or a self-exclusion period, you will be asked to close all tables at which you're playing. You will be automatically unregistered from any online tournament that begins during the time out and self-exclusion period, with your buy-in refunded per our standard policy. If you are still playing when the self-exclusion period begins, you will not be forced to close the software, but will receive a pop-up asking you to do so – the exclusion period will start once the software is closed. You will be able to log in, access the cashier and shop at the Rewards Store, but you will not be able to play with or deposit into your NXT Account.

● 6-month self-exclusion If you select a 180 day exclusion period, then we will ask you to withdraw any real money funds from your NXT Account. Also, you will have to email Support any time after your self-exclusion period has passed to reinstate yourself.

● Self-exclusions longer than 6 months, and permanent self-exclusion: Please contact Support.

● Self-exclusion during tournaments.

○ Players who self-exclude themselves during a tournament will still be able to complete any tournament already in progress in which they are playing.

○ Multi-Day Tournaments: Players who request to be self-excluded from playing during a 'qualifying for Day 2' of a 'Multi-Day Tournament' will still be able to play in that tournament on any subsequent day of that tournament, even after their period of self-exclusion begins. Players who choose not to play on subsequent days will receive no compensation.
 
 

 

Setting limits

Set limits on your real money deposits

No withdrawal reversal

At PokerNXT, our commitment to responsible gaming ensures that once you have put in a withdrawal request, you will not be allowed to reverse it and play with those funds again.
 

Some aspects a player should consider

Poker is a game of discipline, patience and involves a deep dive into our inherent personal traits. Some aspects that a player needs to focus on while playing are:  

  1. Have a budgetary allocation for Poker, to avoid overspend and loss.


  2. Understand the idea of sunk cost. Do not try and recover lost money by playing higher stakes, instead analyze what went wrong and improve your game to eliminate mistakes over time.


  3. An irrational mind will lead to losses. Be in the right mindset when you initiate play. If you are not in the right thought process, take a break and do not play.


  4. Discipline yourself to plan your participation in games. Do not overcommit as every aspect of your life deserves your time and is important to be happy and satisfied.


  5. Do not let playing become an addiction. When you see that your time allocation to gaming has increased, understand whether your other important aspects of life are being compromised or not and take necessary action.


  6. A healthy body and mind makes all the difference. Playing poker can be intensive, ensure that you take a break, fill yourself up, with a fresh glass of water and a quick bite. This will help you to avoid stress and imbalances.
