Staying in Control
Our customers come to Rags2Riches Poker for the enjoyable poker experience that we provide. On occasion some individuals may be concerned about their gambling habits. For those who are concerned the following questionnaire from Gamcare (http://www.gamcare.org.uk/selfhelp.php) may offer some valued 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.

Managing Your Playing
For players who enjoy frequent gambling, it is not uncommon to occasionally overspend their budget. We do advise that players make specific budget plans to ensure that their gambling expenditures do not exceed their own affordable limits.
Limiting Your Personal Expenditure
Rags2Riches Poker provides tools to help you control your gaming. You can establish limits on the amount you deposit 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 will be addressed within a 24 hour period. You can set these limits when you first create your account or you can change them anytime thereafter by going to the Rags2Riches Poker cashier screen. From the cashier, click on the Limits button at the top of the screen and a page 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, Rags2Riches Poker gives you the power to temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from playing at the site.
If you choose to exclude yourself permanently your request will be honored, your account closed, and you will not be permitted to return to Rags2Riches Poker at anytime in future. If you choose to request a temporary exclusion your request will be honored and you may apply for reinstatement at a later date as per your instructions.

Once at the cashier, click on the Limits button at the top of the screen and a page will be displayed where you can select a two day, one month or six month self exclusion. Upon the expiry of the requested period of exclusion, your account will be unlocked automatically.
