Responsible Internet Poker in a protected entertainment environment

Responsible Gaming
At DOingPoker we believe in providing a ‘protected entertainment environment’. It is an important part of our overall customer care program. Gambling in a protected environment should be an exciting and pleasurable experience, for adults. We want you to enjoy the DOingPoker experience, so please play wisely and within your budget.
Staying in Control
The majority of our customers enjoy the DOingPoker entertainment experience. Occasionally individuals may be concerned about their gambling habits. For those who are concerned the following questionnaire from Gamcare may give some guidance:

Have others ever criticized your gambling? Have you ever lied to cover up the amount you have gambled or time you have spent doing it? Do arguments, frustrations or disappointments make you want to gamble? Do you gamble alone for long periods? Do you stay away from work, college or school to gamble? Do you gamble to escape from a boring or unhappy life? Are you reluctant to spend 'gambling money' on anything else? Have you lost interest in your family, friends or pastimes due to gambling? After losing, do you feel you must try and win back your losses as soon as possible? When gambling and you run out of money, do you feel lost and in despair, and need to gamble again as soon as possible? Do you gamble until your last penny is gone? Have you lied, stolen or borrowed just to get money to gamble or to pay gambling debts? Do you feel depressed or even suicidal because of your gambling?

These questions are provided to help an individual decide if he or she has a problem and needs to seek help. Getting Help There are many organizations that can provide support and assistance to individuals who develop a problem with gambling. If you feel this has happened to you we recommend contacting a self-help organization for guidance. The following websites offer advice and guidance. Each link contains help line numbers and an e-mail address that you may contact if you would like confidential advice and support.

Managing Your Playing
For players who enjoy gambling frequently, it is not uncommon to overspend their budget some of the time. We advise that specific budget plans be made to ensure your gambling expenditure is affordable.
Limiting Your Personal Expenditure
DOingPoker provides tools to help you control your gaming. You can establish limits on the amount you deposit and on the amount that you can lose over a given period, be it daily, weekly or monthly. Requests to tighten your limits will take effect immediately, whereas requests to loosen those limits must await a 24 hour cooling off period before taking effect. You can set these limits when you first create your account or you can change them anytime thereafter by going to the DOingPoker cashier screen. From the cashier, click on the Limits button at the bottom of the screen and a dialog box will be displayed where you can set your daily, weekly and monthly spending limits.
Self-Exclusion
If you believe you have a gambling problem or just wish to take an enforced break from gaming, DOingPoker gives you the power to temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from playing at DOingPoker. If you choose to exclude yourself permanently, you will be barred from playing in DOingPoker permanently. If you opt for a temporary exclusion, you may apply for reinstatement at a later date. You can exclude yourself from playing at DOingPoker by going to the DOingPoker cashier screen. Once at the cashier, click on the Limits button at the bottom of the screen and a dialog box will be displayed where you can select a one week, one month or six month self exclusion. If you choose a one week or one month exclusion, your account will auto-unlock at the end of that time period. If you select a six month exclusion, you will need to write/email customer support at the end of the six months to request the opening of your account. If you would like to prevent access to other gaming, wagering or gambling facilities on the Internet please visit www.gamblock.com. Gamblock™ blocks access to Internet gambling sites on the World Wide Web. It can help problem gamblers avoid the dangers of unrestricted gambling.
Managing the length of time you play
It is sometimes easy to lose track of time whilst gambling. At DOingPoker you will always be able to see how long you have been playing. A clear additional reminder will also be provided each time that you fund your account. A Time Online clock is always visible when you buy chips at the cashier, when you request to bring more chips to your table or when you buy in to a tournament.
Preventing Under Age Gambling
You must be at least 18 years old, or of legal age to gamble in the country in which you reside, whichever is older, to play at DOingPoker. We undertake a variety of checks to ensure that no person under legal age has access to our live gaming facilities. Provision of inaccurate or dishonest information about a player's age will result in forfeiture of any winnings and may result in civil and/or criminal prosecution. In order to protect minors from accessing the site we recommend that responsible players install Internet filtering software on their computers. This provides the ability to control content displayed, block websites and set up passwords to prevent DOingPoker being available to underage players.

We hope that you enjoy your gambling experience with DOingPoker. If at anytime you feel that there are issues that need to be brought to our attention please visit our online support to complete a contact form.
