Hi,

I was playing my sunday schedule and in the middle of the grind I accidentally pressed the "24h lockout" button and got shut down. No confirmation or nothing. I have never used it before because I dont have a problem with gambling etc. But I think it is horrible that the function has no confirmation before shutting down. I can understand that you can use it without confirmation if you play slots and stuff like that. But tournaments? Horrible PS.

The “no confirmation” thing is by design. I agree that it makes way less sense for poker tournaments but bottom line is that it’s still gambling.

consider they've been around for 30 years it's amazing how difficult it is to make people aware of search engines.

maybe there is a law regarding the lockout-function, such as no confirmation button is allowed, to prevent problem gamblers think twice and hit cancel? the button shouldn't be easy to hit accidentally regardless.
