Responsible Play

Important Notice

PokerGym is a free educational simulation. No real money can be wagered, won, or lost on this site. However, we believe in educating our users about the risks associated with real-world gambling.

Know the Risks

If you choose to play poker for real money elsewhere, you must understand that it involves risk. Never play with money you cannot afford to lose ("scared money"). Poker is a game of skill, but variance ensures that even the best players have losing sessions, weeks, or months.

Signs of Problem Gambling

  • Chasing losses (trying to win back lost money immediately).
  • Betting more than you can afford to lose.
  • Borrowing money to gamble.
  • Feeling anxious or stressed about your gambling.
  • Lying to friends or family about how much you gamble.
