Mission Statement

Rock And Roll Poker is dedicated to ensuring all its players with an exciting and memorable gaming experience, while simultaneously committing itself to responsible gaming. While we recognize that most poker players actually play for fun and entertainment, we must still admit that a small percentage of players who

• will try to play even though they are underage
• allow poker to control them and negatively affect their lives.

The employees of Rock And Roll Poker are here to help protect anyone from playing our games that should not be playing poker in the first place or those who wish to limit the frequency at which they would otherwise play.

What you can do:

• You must take steps that will protect your computer. In fact, all computers running Windows software can be set up with special password controls which require one to provide a password to access even the computer's desktop. In any case, this is a good precaution, but it is much more important to be cautious when there are children or teenagers in your home. Make sure to keep your Rock And Roll Poker screen name and password private. Also, you may chose to have the Rock And Roll Poker software not to remember your password each time you log into Rock And Roll Poker. Should you be worried that someone else may try to access your Rock And Roll Poker account, then you should not permit Rock And Roll Poker software to remember your password.
• Anyone with children or teenagers is advised to use protection software that restricts access to all websites to which minors might gain access. Such software also prevents file sharing, and equally allows parents and gaurdians to set electronic guidelines as to how underaged minors may use Internet sites and programs. Below, we provide a list of such programs:
  • SafeKids
  • NetNanny
• Should you become aware of an underager using Rock And Roll Poker software, then please inform us immediately, so we may act to remedy this problem immediately. We are committed to retaining site integrity against underagers, so in such cases, send an email to support@RockAndRollPoker.com and we can fulfil our responsibilities. Our first step is to investigate, and if it becomes necessary, we will then freeze the player's account and request further identification from that player.
• Please be a responsible parent. In many ways, this is nothing more than keeping your eyes and ears open. If you hear your children talking about poker accounts, deposits, and withdrawals, start asking questions. If you see the Rock And Roll Poker client on your childs computer, uninstall it and ask more questions. A responsible parent is the best start to preventing underage gaming.

Recommendation

1. Did you ever lose time from work or school due to playing poker?
2. Has playing poker caused you to neglect your own welfare or that of your family?
3. Have you ever sold anything or borrowed money to finance your playing?
4. Have you often played until your last dollar was gone?
5. Have you ever played longer than you had planned?
6. Have you ever considered self-destruction or suicide as a result of your playing?

If you answered "Yes" to several of these questions, we encourage you to visit Gamblers Anonymous.

How to play online poker responsibly

If you choose to play online poker, there are some general guidelines that can help make your poker playing experience safer, and reduce the risk that problems can occur:

1. Play for entertainment, and not as a way of making money.
2. Play with money that you can afford to lose. Never use money that you need for important things such as food, rent, bills, or tuition.
3. Never spend more money than you are willing to lose!
4. Never chase losses! Don't play higher stakes to try and recoup your losses!
5. Dont play poker when you are upset, tired, or depressed.
6. Balance poker with other activities. Find other forms of entertainment so playing poker does not become too big part of your life.
