Run into a snag? No worries. Here's a list of commonly asked questions that'll have you back on the saddle again in no time.

Why is the game sometimes slow?

You could be suffering from internet lag that is often caused by a poor connection between your internet service provider and our server. That is something beyond our control but your own connection is often improved upon if you close out other bandwidth-consuming applications such as internet browsers, file sharing programs, chat programs, etc.

Why can't I see the list of tables?

This usually means that you need to clear your "cache" (temporary internet files) or that your computer lacks the latest version of the Java plug-in. You can download the Java plug-in at the Java website. Please visit our section on Playing Online Poker From A Web Browser for tips on how to clear your cache.

Why do I see "ghost cards" on the table?

You might be seeing these "ghost card" images from previous hands as you do not have the latest version of Java plug-in for your web-browser. You can download it by visiting the Java website.

I sat out for a few hands in a tournament, and now it won't let me sit back in!

Your session has expired. Quickly close the game window (table) and restart the lobby (game client). You can then rejoin the tournament while our system check/folds your hands for you. You do not lose anything except the blinds when it's your turn to post them.
