There have been multiple instances where a player starts playing and keeps going and before they know it, they've lost way more than the usual, dug too deep into their savings, and taken loans they shouldn't have taken to begin with. This not only takes a toll on the player's body but also on their financial and social well being. With this exact scenario in mind, we at PokerNXT have come with our Responsible Gaming initiative. PokerNXT strives to assist and protect players who are at risk of the potential negative effects of gaming through several means, including self-exclusion tools, guidance on responsible gaming, risk identification, and player verification.
If you choose to play online, some general guidelines can help make your playing experience safer, and reduce the risk of problems occurring:
1. Play for entertainment. Games are primarily a recreational activity, keep it to that.
2. Play with money you can afford to lose. Your welfare should always be your priority. Never play with money you cannot afford to lose.
3. Set weekly deposit limits that align with your financial state.
4. Don't chase your losses. Winning and losing are a part of the game, increasing your stakes is not a guarantee of recouping your losses.
5. Balance your playing with other activities. Find other forms of entertainment so playing does not become too big a part of your life.
6. Don't play when you are upset, tired, or depressed. It is difficult to make good decisions when you are feeling down.

We stand by our moral code and ensure that our marketing and advertising in not targeted towards underage. We do not condone nor support such activities as they are against our personal and our corporate ethics.
