FAIR PLAY

Make your actions clear

Wait for your turn. In live play, state your actions clearly and follow the floor's instructions. Online, check the button, amount and active table before confirming. Do not reveal folded cards or influence others while a hand is still in progress.

Play independently and respect opponents

Do not collude, share hole cards, play on someone else's behalf or use software or real-time assistance prohibited by the platform. Treat opponents, staff and officials respectfully; use the proper channels rather than insults or pressure.

Disputes and account issues

For a dispute, record the event ID, hand ID and time, then use the platform's designated channel. Never disclose passwords, verification codes or full account details. Account and transaction issues should be verified by official platform support.

Before taking a seat, check the table rules.

Rules may vary between platforms, tables and events. This guide explains common rules; available games, eligibility and dispute procedures are determined by the platform's official announcements.
