Player Eligibility
- Subject To Local Laws. You are subject to the laws of the country, state, city or other legal entity (collectively "Jurisdiction") in which you reside and/or from which you access the Site. Access to the Site may not be legal for some or all residents of, or persons present in, certain Jurisdictions. It is your responsibility to determine the law that applies in the applicable Jurisdiction and LOVETHATPOKER.COM does not make any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the lawfulness of your participation in the Service, or that materials on this Site are appropriate for use in your Jurisdiction. LOVETHATPOKER.COM does not intend that the Site be used by persons present in Jurisdictions in which the playing of card games for free or entering Cash Prize Tournaments may be prohibited or restricted. You agree that the Site does not constitute an offer, solicitation or invitation by LOVETHATPOKER.COM for the use of any service in any Jurisdiction in which such activities are prohibited or restricted. You agree that, and LOVETHATPOKER.COM asserts that, LOVETHATPOKER.COM shall not have any responsibility under any laws in any Jurisdiction, other than the country of Cyprus. LOVETHATPOKER.COM further reserves the right to require you to provide proof that you are eligible to participate and win prizes in the online poker Cash Prize Tournaments and/or other parts of the Server, prior to payment of any winnings or prizes. LOVETHATPOKER.COM also reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to refuse service and access to any potential participant. In addition, we cannot offer VIP services or payouts to players who are playing from the following US States: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and Washington.

How We Comply With The UIGEA
- Lovethatpoker.com is a membership organization that complies with all local laws, including the U.S. Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA). The reason lovethatpoker.com is not an online gambling site is because players do not stake, bet, or wager something of value when playing on our site. For gambling to occur, something of value must be risked (this is how the U.S. Congress defines a bet or a wager). At lovethatpoker.com, players can only wager "Poker Points", which have no merchant value and remain the property of LoveThatPoker.com. Players can accumulate poker points by winning tournaments and they also receive a daily allowance of poker points that varies depending on the membership type. At no time can players stake their money or anything of value on their hand.

You maintain all responsibility to keep all information provided at registration true, accurate, current and complete.

Terms and Conditions section to obtain timely notice of
such changes. Continued use of this Service after the
changes are posted on LOVETHATPOKER.COM means that you accept these changes.
