All Players at the Crazy Poker Room must abide by the Poker Room's rules, and terms and conditions.

Players must also abide by the general rules of the games they are playing, and they must also follow the additional system rules set down by the Crazy Poker Room.

Understanding and Abiding by the Rules

By entering a game, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to abide by the General Game Rules, the System Rules and the individual Game Rules of the Multi-Player Poker System, as well as the terms and conditions of the Crazy Poker Room.

Individual Play

Poker is a game where Players play for their own interest. Partnerships or any kind of collusion among Players is not permitted.

Minimum Buy-in

Fixed Limit: 10 times minimum bet

Pot Limit: 20 times minimum bet

No Limit: 20 times minimum bet

Table Stakes

There are low and high bets in each game. For example, in a $5/$10 game, the low bet is $5 and the high bet is $10.

Leaving and Returning to a Game

If you leave a game and return to that game in less than sixty minutes, you start the new game with the same stakes as when you left.

Note: If you leave one game to play in another game and lose, you may return to the first game and play at a lower limit bet. For more information on playing at a lower limit bet, see the section All-in.

All-in
If you do not have enough chips to bet during a hand, you are not forced to place the full bet amount. You must put all of your chips into the pot - this is known as calling all-in. All-in indicates that all your remaining chips are put into the pot. You then contend for the pot in an amount proportional to the chips you put in. The game play that continues among other Players is put into a side pot. The all-in Player has no share in this pot.

Players may only have one all in per day.

To request more all-ins, you will need to:

Right-click the table graphic. A pop-up menu is displayed.
Select the Request all-in reset option. Your all-in limit is reset to the default limit.

For more information about our all-in policy - please look here.

Checks and Raises
Checking and raising is permitted in all games.

Bets and Raises
No raises are allowed once the betting is capped. Players may only call or fold.

Blinds and Posts
Blind bets are used to start the game play. The Player to the immediate left of the Dealer posts the small blind. The next Player to the left posts the big blind. The small blind is half of the lower betting limit. The big blind is a full bet at the lower betting limit. For example, in a $10/$20 game, the small blind is $5 and the big blind is $10.

When new Players enter a game they are given a choice to post now or wait for the big blind. If a Player decides to wait, they receive no cards until it is their turn to play the big blind. If they decide to post, they bet the equivalent of one big blind, and receive cards immediately.
Both the big blind and post are considered live blinds. So, the Player who posted the small blind must equalize the betting once the new Player has posted the equivalent of one big blind.
Players who sit out and then sit in again, must either wait for the big blind to reach them again before receiving cards, or post a big blind.

Exposing Hands at Showdown

All active hands are automatically shown at the showdown unless a Player has previously clicked the Muck Losing Hands option.
All called hands at the showdown are available for viewing to any Player in the PlayCheck readout of a hand.
Players who win a pot without a showdown are given the option to show or muck their hand. Uncalled winning hands that are mucked are not available for viewing in the PlayCheck readout.

Sitting Out
Players can leave the table for a few hands by clicking the Sit Out button.
Note: You are removed from a table if you sit out for more than fifteen minutes or have missed two rounds of blinds.

System Rules
There are special rules that govern Internet Poker. These rules are in addition to the General Rules of Poker adopted by Crazy Poker Room.

All Actions Stand
You determine the action you want to perform in a game by clicking the appropriate Action button. Once you have selected an action, it is final. Ensure you select the correct action.

Coffeehousing

This is when Players chat about a hand they are involved in, with the intent of misleading or manipulating other Players. Coffeehousing is not permitted.
No chat among Players, that could influence the play or outcome of the game, is allowed.

Slow Play
If you are connected to the system but are not responding when it is your turn, the following rules apply:

If you have not placed a bet in the hand, you have ten seconds to respond. Failing this, your hand automatically folds.
If you have placed a bet in the hand, you have thirty seconds to respond. Failing this, your hand automatically folds or is considered all-in. For more information on all-in restrictions, see the section Disconnections.
Note: Repeated instances of slow play may be grounds for a Player to be removed from the table. This decision is at the sole discretion of Crazy Poker Room. There is a Sit Out option for Players who want to exit the table. Players must use this option to avoid the consequences.

Disconnections
If you are disconnected from the system during play, the following rules apply:

If you are disconnected during play, the table is notified via the game History box. For information on leaving and returning to a game, see the section Leaving and Returning to a Game.
If you are disconnected during the play of a hand and have not placed a bet, your hand automatically folds after ten seconds.
If you are disconnected during the play of a hand and have placed a bet, you have thirty seconds to reconnect. If you do not reconnect within 30 seconds, you cannot rejoin the table, and are considered all-in.

Note:

There is a limit to the number of times that a Player can call all-in in a 24-hour period. When this limit is exceeded, the Player's hand folds and any money the Player has contributed to the pot is forfeited.
You must be aware of your all-in status. When you have reached the all-in limit, you must request that the limit be reset. To request that the limit be reset, do the following:
- Right-click the game table graphic. A pop-up menu is displayed.
- Select the Request all-in reset… option. Your all-in limit is reset to the default limit.

Language
Communication between Players at the table is in English only.

No foul, abusive or insulting language is permitted. The use of such language may result in you being removed, suspended or banned from the Casino. If you use such language, your hand folds and all your contributions to the pot are forfeited.
Note: These decisions are at the sole discretion of the Crazy Poker Room management.

Playing at More than One Table
You may play at more than one table at the same time.
Note: This is at the sole discretion of Crazy Poker Room management.

The following rules apply:

The Crazy Poker Room monitors Players who are playing at more than one table at the same time. This is to ensure that multiple-table play is not causing slow play. If the Crazy Poker Room management determines that slow play is a result of playing at multiple tables, the Player is forced to play at one table only.
The Player may not allege distraction or confusion as an excuse for errors made when playing at more than one table at the same time. Players are urged to consider the risk involved in playing at multiple tables at the same time. Errors that occur because of multiple-table play are strictly the Player's responsibility.

Tournaments

Players at Crazy Poker can enter and play in tournaments. Tournaments will start when the table is full and a winner will be declared when one player has won all the chips. At this time the top three finishers will be paid and the tournament will be closed.

Each Fixed Limit single table tournament generally lasts around an hour. No limit - single table tournaments typically last between 30 minutes to one hour.

Tournament Rules

You can enter any single table tournament by posting the required buy-in and entry fee.
All tournaments will start when the table is full: 10 players.
Tournaments are played until 1 player has all of the chips.
You are eliminated when you lose all of your chips; no re-buys are allowed.
There are currently 9 different tournaments with the prizes based on the amount of the buy-in and your placement. The top 3 finishers get paid according to the following schedule:

Tournaments are not raked as the entry fee pays for the table time.
Crazy Poker Room is not a party to any wager and only serves to oversee the event and the wagers that are made by the participants. All prize money distributed is a pool of the buy-in amounts contributed by individual players.
Every player will start fixed limit tournaments with 800 tournament chips and No Limit tournaments with $1,500 tournament chips; these chips have no monetary value.

The limits, blinds and bets are raised after every 10 hands played as the table shows below

Level	Games	Limits	Blinds

II	11-20	25/50	15/25
III	21-30	50/100	25/50

V	41-50	200/400	100/200
VI	51-60	400/800	200/400
VII	61-70	600/1200	300/600
VIII	71+	1000/2000	500/1000

The Tournament

At the start of the tournament, you are dealt one card face up. The player receiving the highest card by suit (high - low: spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs) will get the dealer button for the first hand.
When only 2 players are remaining, the small blind has the button and will act first before the flop.
Each betting round will consist of one bet, and up to a maximum of three raises for a total of 4 bets per round.
When only two players are remaining in any hand, there is a maximum of five raises for a total of 6 bets per round.
If a player who is the small blind is eliminated, the button does not move. This ensures the next player in order does not miss the big blind. If the player who is in big blind position is eliminated, the button moves and one player receives the benefit of not posting the big blind for that round. All players have an equal opportunity to benefit from this scenario.
Tournaments are played straight through until one player has all of the chips: No Breaks. If you need to leave the table then check fold/check all and this will fold/check your hands until you return.
When you lose all of your chips, you are out of the tournament and placed in the order that you were eliminated. ie. In 10 player tournaments, if you are the 8th player eliminated you finished in 3rd place and will receive your portion of the prize pool.
If more than one player is eliminated in the same hand, the player that had the most chips at the start of the hand finishes in the higher placing. If the eliminated players had the same amount of chips at the start of the hand, the players will tie for the position. ie. If two players tie for 2nd place, the prize pool for second and third place are combined, each of the tied players receives 50% of the combined total.
Crazy Poker Room will not assist players who make deals during tournaments. The tournaments continue until the winner is declared and the payoffs are made according to the laid out structure.
No soft playing allowed…All players should be played against with the same intensity; team play may result in being banned from future tournaments.
If you lose connection or your computer freezes, and have All-ins remaining and also have chips at stake in a hand, you will be declared All-in based on the All-in rules.
You must understand the accept risks of Internet disconnections. If you are not connected before a hand starts, you will be dealt cards and then folded automatically. If you are in position to post a blind and are not connected, the blind is posted automatically and your hand is folded. This continues until you re-establish a connection or have run out of chips.
Intentionally going All-in is always grounds for dismissal from any tournament and being banned from the Crazy Poker Room.
In the unlikely event of a server problem/ crash, all tournaments in play are deemed as cancelled. Once the server re-starts, we will refund the full Buy-in and entry fee. As per cash games, Crazy Poker Room is not liable in any way for server/communication problems that might effect customer game play.
Railbird chat privileges for players watching any of the tournaments will be removed if deemed to be abusive.

Management decisions are final.
