A small percentage of people can find themselves addicted to playing poker. If you find playing poker is taking over your life in a negative way, you are losing money you cannot afford to lose, or you think you may have a gambling problem, you should seek professional help.

Online poker sites are always willing to help anyone who feels they have any issues relating to playing poker. You can place limits on deposit amounts and playing time on your account, restrict access to your account for set periods of time, or even permanently close your account.

Skill or Luck - Is Poker Gambling?
The debate about whether poker is a game of skill or just gambling is as old as the act of playing cards. Is poker skill or luck, or is it a combination of the two? How much poker luck is involved? PokerNews answers these questions and more.

Skill vs Luck - Is Poker Just Down to Luck?
Poker has a gambling element to it, which leads some players to question if poker is just down to luck. Although there is a serious amount of luck involved in poker, the fact the same big names regularly win in cash games and tournaments shows that there is skill involved. Otherwise, are you claiming these elite-level players are simply luckier than their rivals?
 
Cash games are generally speaking 20% luck and 80% skills. Without the luck factor poker would not exist
 
It’s true that luck plays a role in poker, especially in the short term, but skill and strategy make the difference over time. The consistent success of top players shows that poker is much more than just chance; it’s about understanding odds, psychology, and making the right decisions.
