Responsible Gaming

Poker should be entertainment. Texas Poker Network exists to help players find games — not to encourage anyone to play beyond their means.

Keep it in check

• Set a bankroll and stick to it. Never play with money you need.
• Set time limits before you sit down, not after.
• Don't chase losses — the game will be there tomorrow.
• If poker stops being fun, that's a signal worth listening to.

If you need help

If gambling is affecting your life or someone you care about, free and confidential help is available around the clock:

• National Problem Gambling Helpline: call or text 1-800-GAMBLER (1-800-426-2537), available 24/7.
• Gamblers Anonymous: gamblersanonymous.org — meetings across Texas.

Self-exclusion

Many Texas card rooms offer self-exclusion programs. Contact the room directly — staff at reputable rooms take these requests seriously.
