Setting Limits

Before you sit down to play your first hand of poker, you should set your limits.

Limits determine how much you can afford to lose per day/week/month, and how many hours you'd like to limit yourself to per session/day/week/month.

The Game Sense tab includes three sections:

  • Limit Time
  • Tournament Limits
  • Game Status
  • Lock Account

Limit Time

How many hours you would like to limit your time at the tables to. The maximum limits you are permitted to set are:

  • Max hours/session: 24
  • Max hours/day: 24
  • Max hours/week: 168
  • Max hours/month: 720

Tournament Limits

Players are defaulted to playing in 24 tournaments in a day, 168 tournaments in a week and 720 tournaments in a month.

You can choose to increase or decrease these numbers at any time.

The maximum limits that can be set are:

MTT per Day: 1000
MTT per Week: 7000
MTT per Month: 30000

Sit & Go per Day: 1000
Sit & Go per Week: 7000
Sit & Go per Month: 30000

Session Reminders

A session reminder is a pop up that occurs at regular intervals. Players may set this interval to 60, 120, 180, or 240 minutes.

Lock Account

If you feel that it's time to take a break from the tables, you may lock your account for a period of time of your choosing. PlayNow.com also has a self-exclusion program in place. To learn more, visit GameSense.
