Worlds Best Party Poker - Responsible Gambling

Gambling is a form of entertainment enjoyed by millions of people. The majority of people gamble without experiencing any problems. However, just as some people can become addicted to alcohol or tobacco, it is possible for a person to become obsessed with gambling. Although, according to many studies, only 1 percent of the adult population faces this problem, for us even one compulsive gambler is one too many.

It is not possible to predict who will develop a gambling problem, but once identified, the problem can be successfully treated.

Casino-on-Net and Worlds Best Party Poker endorse responsible gaming. Although compulsive gambling is not easily detected, we have implemented a number of measures to address the problem:

1. Casino-on-Net's and Worlds Best Party Poker's training program incorporates methods and techniques that assist our employees in recognizing and taking appropriate actions when they identify compulsive or underage gambling.
2. We have implemented a self-eviction program for those who may need our assistance. Upon your request, we will cancel your membership and will prevent you from entering our Casino and Poker Rooms.
3. We will also let you set your own maximum allowed deposit amount.
4. Upon your request, we will remove your name from our Email list.

To have an enjoyable experience when visiting our Casino or Poker Rooms, we advise you to follow these guidelines:

1. Make sure that the decision to gamble is your personal choice.
2. Establish what constitutes an acceptable loss before starting to gamble.
3. Never gamble if:
1. You are younger than the legal gambling age.
2. It interferes with your work or other responsibilities.
3. You are in recovery for addictive disorders or dependencies.
4. You are under the influence of alcohol or other substances.
5. You are attempting to make up for prior gambling losses.

Please know how to set limits and when to stop. Like many things, what is enjoyable in moderation can be disastrous in excess.

Seek professional help from the following organizations if gambling is not something that you want to do, but rather something that you need to do.

Underage Gambling

Poker gambling is one of the least popular forms of gambling among young people. Participating in gambling activities by persons under the age of 18 is not permitted in Gibraltar, where Worlds Best Party Poker is licensed.

Our Casino and Poker Rooms are not designed to attract children and we aggressively discourage and track minors who attempt to play at them.

Underage gambling is not a harmless activity and it may begin when adults take children along to visit a Casino and/or Poker Room or give them the "gift" of a lottery ticket.

If young people have access to a computer with Casino and/or Poker software, we encourage you to:

Install child protection software.

Not leave children unattended near your computer when your Casino and/or Poker software is running.

Password-protect your Casino and/or Poker program.

Not allow persons under 18 to participate in any gambling activity.

Keep your Casino-on-Net and/or Worlds Best Party Poker Username, Password and Credit Card(s) out of the reach of children.

Educate your children about the legality and the potential damage of underage gambling.

Unfortunately, no system is foolproof. Some young people may escape our detection. If you know a person under the age of 18 who is registered with Casino-on-Net and/or Worlds Best Party Poker, please immediately notify our Security Department at: mailto:security@texasholdempartypoker.com

Casino-on-Net and Worlds Best Party Poker are registered with the Internet Content Rating Association.

ICRA is a non-profit organization that brings together major Internet industry players, telecommunications companies, content providers and child protection bodies. The dual aims are to protect children and free speech rights on the Internet.

Do the efforts involve "data mining" or other intrusive means to access/read files on my computer as part of these efforts ?

Yes-and indeed we want you to know that we do this and what particular data we're looking for and also why we need to. Perhaps the best way to explain this is by contract to the most well-known form of data mining-i.e., what Google, Yahoo, AOL, and others like them are doing-gathering data about the user for (among other reasons) purely commercial purposes (i.e., to sell a user profile to online advertisers). Now consider what we do. Our automated software reports on any processes or programs running on your computer that have been identified as prohibited software falling within our policy. We do not scan your hard drive or take screen shots from your machine. The very limited data that is provided to us is used only to query player's computers while they're playing at our tables, solely for the purpose of detecting use of the offending type of software we're talking about here. This type of monitoring remains one of the key counter-measures against the abuses caused by BOTS which we believe are against the interests of our players. To find out more about our general policy with regard to data processing, please see our Privacy Policy.
