In order to keep icebearpoker a friendly and enjoyable place to play poker, we ask all players to display good poker etiquette at all times. Here are some guidelines:

Chat

  • All chat at the tables must be in English only.
  • Please do not type in capitals - this is seen as shouting
  • You may not discuss a hand while it is still being played.
  • Do not send repeated messages to a player who is not replying - they may have the chat option disabled.
  • Please keep chat polite. Abusive and/or offensive words are not permitted.
  • If a particular player is slowing the game down, you may let them know, but do so in a friendly manner.
  • Do not use the chat box to promote anything unrelated to icebearpoker. "Spamming" is not welcome.

General

  • Please try and keep up to speed with the game. Thinking hard about a decision is fine, but not every hand.
  • Playing multiple tables is fine - but please make sure you do not delay the game because of it.
  • Be gracious when you suffer a bad beat. It happens to everyone, type nice hand or nh and move on.

Complaints?

If you wish to report a player for abuse of the above guidelines or for a specific reason not mentioned, please contact support.
