eYank 0 Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Under requests now in stars there is a new thing that says "Responsible Gaming" which lets you set deposit limits, table limits, and you can exclude yourself from playing for a certain period of time.It looks like they are trying to get on the good side of the government or something but it could be a good thing for anyone.I tried it out by telling stars not to let me play for a week and it doesnt let you play Play Money either lol Link to post Share on other sites
rogerwilco 0 Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 I almost started a thread about this before where I wanted to ask what happens if you click on that. I didn't dare try it because I thought it might be permanent. Link to post Share on other sites

handsfactor 0 Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 This is actually an option that if used correctly could help someone who struggles with Bankroll management, or if you're like me, with 3 am Drunken Donkfests for 80% of your bankroll. I know if they had that option and I used it a month ago I wouldn't have sat 5-10 NL at 3:00 am after 6 martinis Link to post Share on other sites

rochyfish 0 Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 If anything they're probably trying to get on the good side of the UK gambling commission, with the US going titsup.com over online poker and the new UK gambling commission rules coming out soon they may be looking at the UK as a safe haven to give them credability. In the UK responsible gaming stuff is all over the place, mostly because of some stories in the press, but when the commission rules come out it's going to be compulsary.

He talks about sitting with moneymaker and playing $100 SNGs and higher, yet no record exists of him playing higher than mini-limits. Have you noticed how he completely ignores what people here say, and just continues to post bad beat stories? He's nothing more than an attention whore. Link to post Share on other sites

In the UK responsible gaming stuff is all over the place, mostly because of some stories in the press, but when the commission rules come out it's going to be compulsary. When I hear story after story about people winning the state lottos here and going broke and being worse off than before they won it,, You'd think that publicity would help to get these guys to ban state lottos.. but the revenue in taxes must be too good. And that thing about the lotto supporting education is BS. They can support it, just not financially. At least my school never benefited, couldn't even recruit some good kids to make our foot ball team not lose 50 to 6 every game! lol Link to post Share on other sites
