Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6958010, member: 397965"] Poker in itself is not an addiction, but gambling addiction can be compared to drug or alcohol addiction, and all 3 can have negative effects on someones life. This is why, responsible gambling rules are part of the licensing in all countries, where online gambling is regulated. In Sweden, where I live, there is a mandatory deposit limit, a ban on all promotions and a "panic button", where players can self exclude for 24 hours. Every 90 minutes a message pop up and inform us about our playing time and win/loss, which is a bit annoying but not really that important. Finally we have to set playing time limits. On PokerStars they can be set to 23 hours a day, so there it does not really matter, but on 888 Poker we can set them no higher than 12 hours per day. Which is quite limiting for an MTT player and one of the reasons, I stopped playing there, since it makes the site even less attractive and usefull for me. [/QUOTE]
