Gambling?

Gambling can be a lot of fun, and also very rewarding. A lot of people don't consider Poker (live or online variety) to be gambling - they see it as a game of skill. However, legally it is still seen as gambling, and RockPokerOnline.com has put together the following advice about gambling.

Remember, most importantly, Gambling is supposed to be fun - if you are concerned that your (or that of somebody else) gambling has become problematic, you should contact Gam Care who specialise in helping problematic gamblers.

Age Limits

Depending upon where you live, the local law may be different in respect to gambling ages. In the United Kingdom, we have different levels of gambling allowed at different ages. Under 18 year olds can play small stakes slot machines, while 18+ year olds may become members of casinos and play casino games, poker, or high stakes slot machines. You should check your local laws and regulations before you start gambling.

Online Gambling

If you are a US based player, you may find it difficult to partake in online gambling. The US Government has banned credit companies from working with gambling sites. However, many other countries may still use services such as NetTeller.com or their credit/debit cards to transfer money in to accounts. This money is held in a "holding account" while you are using the online games. Money you win is added to you account; money you lose is taken away. At any time you can withdraw your money, however you should read the gaming site's rules on withdrawals, as they often have different rules on how much, and how fast you can withdraw.
