Online Poker Rules and Etiquette
In all Poker games, there is an unwritten law of how things should be. This works the same for Online Poker, if not more so, as there are special rules and etiquette that govern Internet Poker.
These rules are in addition to the General Rules of 7Sultans Poker adopted by the House.
All Actions Stand
You determine the action you want to perform in a game by clicking the appropriate Action button. Once you have selected an action, it is final. Ensure you select the correct action.
Coffeehousing
This is when Players chat about a hand they are involved in, with the intent of misleading or manipulating other Players. Coffeehousing is not permitted.
No chat among Players, that could influence the play or outcome of the game, is allowed.
Slow Play
If you are connected to the system but are not responding when it is your turn, the following rules apply:
If you have not placed a bet in the hand, you have ten seconds to respond. Failing this, your hand automatically folds.
If you have placed a bet in the hand, you have twenty seconds to respond. Failing this, your hand automatically folds or is considered all-in. For more information on all-in restrictions, see the section Disconnections.
Note:
Repeated instances of slow play may be grounds for a Player to be removed from the table. This decision is at the discretion of the House. There is a Sit Out option for Players who want to exit the table. Players must use this option to avoid the consequences.
Disconnections
If you are disconnected from the system during play, the following rules apply:
If you are disconnected during play, the table is notified via the game History box. For information on leaving and returning to a game, see the section Leaving and Returning to a Game.
If you are disconnected during the play of a hand and have not placed a bet, your hand automatically folds after ten seconds.
If you are disconnected during the play of a hand and have placed a bet, you have thirty seconds to reconnect. If you do not reconnect within 30 seconds, you cannot rejoin the table, and are considered all-in.
Note:
There is a limit to the number of times that a Player can call all-in in a 24-hour period. When this limit is exceeded, the Player's hand folds and any money the Player has contributed to the pot is forfeited.
You must be aware of your all-in status. When you have reached the all-in limit, you must request that the limit be reset. To request that the limit be reset, do the following:
* Right-click the game table graphic. A pop-up menu is displayed.
* Select the Request all-in reset? option. Your all-in limit is reset to the default limit.
Language
Communication between Players at the table is in English only.
No foul, abusive or insulting language is permitted. The use of such language may result in you being removed, suspended or banned from the Casino. If you use such language, your hand folds and all your contributions to the pot are forfeited.
Note:
These decisions are at the discretion of the House.
Playing at More than One Table
You may play at more than one table at the same time.
Note:
This is at the discretion of the House.
The following rules apply:
- The House monitors Players who are playing at more than one table at the same time. This is to ensure that multiple-table play is not causing slow play. If the House determines that slow play is a result of playing at multiple tables, the player is forced to play at one table only.
- The Player may not allege distraction or confusion as an excuse for errors made when playing at more than one table at the same time. Players are urged to consider the risk involved in playing at multiple tables at the same time. Errors that occur because of multiple-table play is strictly the Player's responsibility.
