Poker Site Goes the Extra Mile

The internet can be a scary and dangerous place – and though that may sound overly dramatic, it’s true particularly for online casino players. With the high rate of fly-by-night internet gambling schemes, players are sometimes wary to trust new online casinos unless they are well-known or vouched for by the companies like e-COGRA or GamCare. For that reason many companies are finding it necessary to comply with these organizations recommendations concerning responsible gambling. For PokeStars.com though, the company chose to really take the initiative to protect the its players with new services and policies recommended by GamCare – and as such the company has received a stamp of approval from the British registered charity.

PokerStars.com is a remote gambling company (based out of Gibraltar ) that is now ready for the harsher restrictions on the UK online casino gambling industry. The focus at GamCare is to preemptively protect those adversely affected by internet gambling addictions by requiring the online casinos to act socially responsible. And to meet the GamCare Code of Practice for Remote Gambling, PokerStars had to introduce some new technology to the site that in the coming years will no doubt become an industry standard.

Some of these improvements to the online casino poker site include an age verification system that will now protect minors who could previously access the poker gambling fairly easily. Also, to protect problem gamblers players can self-exclude from the site by suspending their online casino poker accounts.

Having also new deposit limit restrictions and other recommended improvements, GamCare commented that PokerStars.com “achieved high standards in player protection and social responsibility and recognises the need to assist their customers to play responsibly."
