These are general game rules that players must abide by. In addition, please review the Privacy and Terms Of Service Agreement. These rules are intended to be user-friendly (no legalese):

Collusion/Softplay

Collusion is the act of playing teams. Softplay is playing a hand weaker than you normally would, because the opponent is a friend. Team play will get your account banned and anyone you colluded with. Obviously with free money, there will be the temptation for people to try to cheat. Before you waste time, and any chance of actually winning money here, note that we have plenty of measures in place to guard against collusion. We review all play, especially before any money is paid out. All games and game play is logged and it is very easy to catch players colluding. It would be much easier for you to cheat a regular poker site than this one, since only some members get payouts here. We take this very seriously because you aren't just cheating us, you're cheating our members.

Software/Bots

Use any software you like to assist or track your play, just not bots. Bots are software programs designed to carry out human tasks and in regards to our site, that means auto play. Stats programs and helpers are fine, you just have to be the one clicking the buttons.

One Account

One account per human is another major rule we have. This is part of our way of preventing collusion. You are not allowed to signup more than once. You can sign in and play under other player's accounts that you know, but you can't have multiple accounts yourself. Again, this is to prevent cheating, where players might signup with many accounts and play them all at once to collude.

Final Words

If you are concerned you might be cheating, you probably aren't. Cheaters will know if they are cheating. Don't be worried you'll be banned for something insignificant. We want to take care of our players and the best way to do that is to make sure that the money available is awarded to the players who earned it. If anything gets in the way of that goal, then you'll see our teeth.
