Poker West, and its affiliates, use this information to improve our games, improve marketing materials, and market the materials themselves. In the event that a member does not want to be marketed to anymore, he/she can opt-out. To opt-out of Poker West advertisements, contact Poker West to your remove account. To opt-out of affiliate advertisements, contact the affiliate itself.
