HOUSE POLICIES
This section will inform you on All-in procedures and general RedlightPoker
house policies.
ALL-IN PROCEDURES
What happens if a Player runs out of money during a Hand or is Disconnected?
If a Player runs out of money during a Hand or is disconnected
by his/her ISP or System, by no means does a Player have
to Fold his/her Hand; the Player may/will go "All-in." This
means that a Player cannot be forced out of a Hand if he/she
doesn't have enough money to complete the Hand he/she started.
When a Player runs out of money in a hand and wants to stay
in, he/she places what Chips he/she does have into the Pot
and the game computer automatically places him/her All-in.
As an All-in Player, he/she can only contend for the money in a Pot that he/she contributed to. Using this kind of All-in does not use up one of your two daily All-ins; those All-ins get used up only when you fail to act in time, either because you got distracted from the game, or disconnected from the game. All other action of remaining 'active' Players goes into a Side Pot to be played for by them.
How do you go All-in?
Players may go All-in for whole dollar amounts only. When you make
a Bet, Call a Bet or Raise a Bet that will reduce your balance to less
than $1, you will be prompted to: "Go All-in? Yes or No?"
ONCE A PLAYER IS ALL-IN
- The Player receives all Cards as usual.
- The All-in Player has no option to Bet.
- All other money Bet after the Player is All-in cannot be won by the All-in Player and will be put into a Side Pot for all active Players to win.
- If the Player who is All-in has the action, then the Dealer will move to the next Player clockwise. This will continue until an active Player shows a better Top Hand.
- The player may Fold his/her Cards only on the River and only after the Side Pot (if there is one) has been awarded to active Players.
OTHER HOUSE POLICIES
- Server Crash or Game Freeze:
In the event of a Server Crash that removes all Players from the Table or prevents the Hand from continuing, the Hand will be considered Dead (void) and all monies will be returned to all Players after an investigation is completed within 48 hours.
- Errors that do not cause a Dead Hand:
In the event the game pushes the Pot to the wrong Player or misreads the winning Hand, certified Poker Support staff will correct the error by adjusting the Players' accounts within 24 hours.
- Cheating of any kind:
If management suspects such an activity, the Player(s) accused will
be investigated. Players found to have been, or reasonably suspected
of cheating in any form, will have their account privileges terminated
at RedlightPoker indefinitely. Using the standard of "beyond
a reasonable doubt" to indicate cheating, RedlightPoker has the
right to terminate the account in question.
- Team Play or Collusion:
Team Play or Collusion is the act of two or more Players 'zteaming
up' to gain a competitive advantage by signaling Card values or making
raises and re-raises that are intended to force a victim Player out
of a Pot. If Customer Service receives a complaint about such an activity
or management suspects such activity, the Players accused/suspected
will have their accounts and playing activity reviewed by management.
Players found to have been acting, or reasonably suspected of acting
as a team, will have their account privileges terminated at RedlightPoker.
Players may not offer advice to another Player through the Chat during a Hand, or urge a Player to take any kind of action.
Only English may be written in the Chat.
Any foul, abusive or threatening language will not be tolerated on any Game Table.
Players may not chat about any mucked cards they held during a hand; and
Players may not Chat about any current Cards being held during a Hand.
Management will judge the severity of a violation. RedlightPoker Management has the right to suspend or revoke membership privileges for any infractions/violations.
