Pirates Of Poker will not tolerate ANY form of cheating, collusion or chip dumping. All reports or evidence of cheating will be investigated immediately and thoroughly, if investigation proves a player was in any way breaking our rules, the player(s) will be permanently banned from the site.

Players are allowed a management-defined number (usually 2) of all-ins per day. Once they have used their allotted all-ins for that day, their hands will no longer be protected against disconnects or time-outs and they will be playing at their own risk. We suggest not playing with 0 all-ins remaining. If you have questions, please contact the HOST on duty.

All-in abuse will not be tolerated. This is considered cheating and will result in being banned from the cardroom. Requests for all-in resets (real money) will be investigated before being granted to insure they are not being abused.

In the event of a server crash in the middle of a game, the game in progress will be considered void, and all chip counts will be reinstated as before the game started. If you felt you had a winning hand on that game, we apologize, but the game is considered void. No exceptions.

If collusion is suspected, please report immediately to the cardroom manager, who will conduct a full investigation. If investigation confirms collusion, colluding players will be banned permanently from site.

Disputes should be brought to the attention of the Pirates Of Poker. Please do not instigate a dispute in room chat.

Player abuse will not be tolerated. Clean chat only. Offensive words not allowed. A warning will be issued and, if abuse recurs, offending player will have chat privileges removed.

If playing more than one computer from same household, players cannot be playing at same table. Offending players will be warned, then suspended, then banned.

Pirates Of Poker may use prop players. Prop players play with their own bankroll and have no unfair advantage over other players. They are there to help start and maintain tables. Prop players will be identified by Pirates Of Poker upon request.

English is the only language allowed at the tables. Later, we may add more approved languages as our ability to monitor other languages increases.

There is a maximum of three raises allowed per betting round. When the action is down to two players (heads up) at the start of the betting round, there is a maximum of six raises allowed. Six raises per round are allowed on all heads-up tables.

Players are given 24 seconds maximum to act when it's their turn. Not acting in those 24 seconds will result in the player being timed out and the hand folded. As a courtesy to fellow players, please act promptly when it's your turn to keep the game fun for everyone.

Blind straddle is optional to player on immediate left of big blind in flop games. Straddle is equal to double the big blind and is not considered a raise. Straddles are considered "live" and player that straddles will have option to raise after all other players have acted before the flop.

We also allow chopping of blinds when a game has more than 5 players. Both players must agree in advance by clicking on the CHOP BLINDS checkbox in poker room. (A "c" will appear on your name plate) When the game is short-handed (defined as five players or less in), chopping of blinds is not permitted.

ACR uses a modified blind system similar to other internet cardrooms. There is always a big blind and small blind, and the button always moves.

New players are required to post a live bet equal to the big blind.

Any promotions or incentives can be cancelled at any time at management's discretion.

In all matters above and any not mentioned, management's decision is final.

Players play at Pirates Of Poker at their own risk.
