PokerStars complies to GamCare best practice
 August 5, 2007, 4:29 pm (4 years ago)PokerStars.com has been accredited by British charity group GamCare because of its commitment to protecting its players.
Gibraltar-based PokerStars.com says that it has recently made a number of changes to its website and its poker service to conform to GamCare’s code Code of Practice for Remote Gambling. For example, it put in place an age verification system so underage players could not use the site.
GamCare, which is registered as a charity in the United Kingdom, gives information, advice and practical help in addressing the social impact of gambling.
The site also introduced a feature where players could choose to lock themselves out of the game if they felt that they were overspending or developing a problem. PokerStars.com players can exclude themselves from play for as little as a day or for as long as 180 days. Players can also set limits on the amount of deposits they make.
PokerStars has said that it will continue to communicate with GamCare as it develops new products and new technologies.
It has also committed to publishing information about responsible gambling and advice on problem gambling on its websites.
