Poker Etiquette

BetMGM strives to create a pleasant gaming experience for all players. We ask all players to adhere to certain guidelines as it relates to etiquette at the table with your fellow players. Failure to comply with game fairness and proper etiquette will result in penalties such as, but not limited to, a temporary account closure.

What constitutes poor poker etiquette?

• Chat Abuse – Profanity, aggressive behavior, or otherwise offensive chat that disparages other players is strictly prohibited. Failure to follow these guidelines will result in the offending player’s chat being suspended, and in some instances, completely banned.
• Blind Abuse/Grimming – Repetitive behavior of sitting into a game and leaving before ever posting a blind prohibited. As it relates to game fairness, all players are afforded the right to equal opportunities at the table. During heads-up play, the act of consistently playing your button and leaving is prohibited. Putting the burden of the big blind on your opponent while never assuming it yourself during gameplay is against our game fairness policy. While one-off instances can and will happen, a concerted effort to intentionally target players in this manner is against our game fairness policy.
• Offensive Screen Name – Your screen name is visible to all players. Please refrain from choosing a name that may be offensive to others.

In addition to receiving penalties for repeatedly engaging in the above behaviors, players may refuse to play with a player that is constantly engaging in unethical behavior. While BetMGM takes every measure to ensure the safety and security of our games, it is incumbent on the players to always conduct themselves in an appropriate manner.
