draft for counsel review · last updated 2026-10-14 · terms · privacy · responsible gaming · discord ↗
1. house rules for yourself
- Only play with SOL you can afford to lose. Never deposit borrowed money.
- Decide a budget and a time limit before you sit down. Stop when you reach either, win or lose.
- Do not chase losses. Tilt is real; take a break after a bad beat.
- Do not play when tired, upset, or under the influence.
- Poker is not a way to make money for most people. Treat buy-ins as the price of entertainment.
2. tools we provide
- Daily buy-in limit: cap what you can put into buy-ins in a day, in the cashier. Lowering it applies at once; raising it takes 24 hours. We cap buy-ins rather than deposits because SOL sent to your deposit address is already on the chain and cannot be refused.
- Cool-off: block yourself from registering for 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days, in the cashier. A break can be extended but never shortened.
- Self-exclusion: close your account for at least 6 months. Remaining balance is withdrawn to an address you give; the username cannot be reused during the exclusion. (Ask in Discord until this is self-service.)
- Session view: the knockout recap shows how long you played and what you won or lost in each event.
- No credit: we never extend credit, bonuses with wagering requirements, or loss-back offers designed to keep you playing.
3. warning signs
Spending more than planned, hiding play from people close to you, playing to escape problems, borrowing to play, or feeling restless when not playing are signs it is time to stop and talk to someone.
4. where to get help
- Gamblers Anonymous: gamblersanonymous.org
- GamCare (UK): gamcare.org.uk, 0808 8020 133
- National Council on Problem Gambling (US): ncpgambling.org, 1-800-GAMBLER

- To self-exclude today, before the settings panel ships: ask in Discord and a moderator will close the account by hand.
5. minors
Nobody under 18 (or the local legal age) may play. If you share a device with minors, log out and use a strong password. Accounts found to belong to minors are closed and deposits returned to the source address where possible.
