The Risks of Poker Addiction and Its Effects
====================================


Online gaming, like any form of entertainment, can carry risks when played excessively. It is important to play responsibly and be aware of the effects that gambling addiction can have on your personal, professional, and financial life. Addiction can lead to social isolation, financial problems*, and relationship tensions. If you feel that gaming is starting to take over your life, we encourage you to seek help. Resources and advice are available to support you in managing your gaming behavior. Remember, gaming should remain an enjoyable activity, not a source of stress or worry.

*The financial problems can arise in your life even if you play every day with fictitious money.

Resources and Advice for Responsible Gaming
======================================

For responsible gaming, it is essential to recognize the signs of addiction and take preventive measures. Consult a professional, such as a psychologist specializing in gambling issues, if you feel gaming is becoming problematic. Organizations like Gamblers Anonymous and Gambling Therapy offer valuable support. Use the tools provided on software platforms of your computer or smartphone such as time limits, or practice self-exclusion to better control your activity. It is also important to take regular breaks, avoid playing under pressure or in an altered state, and surround yourself with social support. Finally, educating yourself about gambling addiction and discussing it with loved ones can help you better understand the situation and prevent its negative effects.

Display warnings about the risks of poker addiction and its effects on an online poker site, even when playing with fictitious money, is a fun and preventive measure for old or new players.

Just common sense, this can also be useful for those who play in real life.

What does the wider community think? =) Does everyone know the risks of gambling addiction?

At least it's still important to talk about it on the forum
