Absolute Poker strongly values building and maintaining goodwill with our players. We are committed to providing a safe and secure environment to ensure our players can confidently enjoy our poker games.
Responsible Gaming
To ensure that Absolute Poker provides adequate player information on community and gaming support, we have developed a 'Responsible Gaming Policy'.
Self-Exclusion from Play :
Players who are concerned about their inability to manage their gaming habits are able to take preventive action.
A player may request to be excluded from real money play at Absolute Poker at any time by advising us by email at support@absolutepoker.com. Once exclusion procedures have been completed, the member will not be able to play for real money at Absolute Poker again.
Players wishing more information about exclusion are encouraged to contact the customer service team: support@absolutepoker.com.
Details of self-exclusion are treated discreetly at all times.
Daily and Weekly Limits:
In order to counteract people depositing more than they can reasonably expect to risk, Absolute Poker has instituted daily and weekly limits for depositing funds. Players who can show a responsible history can then and only then ask in writing for an increase to these limits. More information can be found in the banking section of our website.
