1. Disconnect Protection protects players in the event that their internet connection is lost while involved in a pot. If a player is disconnected and has Disconnect Protection available, the server will allow them to continue the hand by either marking them as "All In" for the amount they have contributed to the pot, or checking if the option is available.

2. Disconnection Protection is not to be used for any other purpose besides a legitimate disconnection. Misuse of this policy, in any way, by intentional disconnection may result in; forfeiture of winnings, tournament disqualification, loss of Disconnection Protection or expulsion.

3. The software has been designed to detect if a player has had a legitimate disconnection before implementing the Disconnection Protection. If a player gets "timed out" by simply not acting on their turn in order to try and get the Disconnection Protection, they will be folded.

4. All Players must accept the risk of disconnection. If a disconnection occurs (they can and do happen), connect/log on and continue playing as soon as possible. At no time will we assume responsibility for disconnections or disconnected players, regardless of cause. To help limit the risk of possible disconnections contact your ISP for advice.
