Create a Strong and Unique Password
Unique Passwords
Use unique passwords for the poker room and for the email associated with it.
Avoid Simple Combinations
Better to avoid simple combinations and never use the same password on different services.
Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Two-Factor Authentication
When possible, activate two-factor authentication — this is an additional layer of protection requiring confirmation of login with a code sent to your email.
Email Linking
Link an e-mail to your account to quickly restore access when needed.
Do Not Share Personal Data with Third Parties
Important Warning
Never send login, password, or scanned documents in messengers, even if the person claims to be a club support representative.
Secure Channels
PPPoker and agent services use secure channels for work, do not request passwords and do not require cards in chat.
Use Trusted Devices and Updated Software
Personal Devices
Play only from personal smartphones or computers, do not install the client on other people's devices.
Updates
Keep track of PPPoker client updates — the latest versions contain security improvements and vulnerability fixes.
Don't Store Your Entire Bankroll in One Place
Risk Diversification
Don't keep all your money in one account or one gaming resource.
Separate Wallets
Use separate electronic wallets for gaming funds and personal savings.
Verify Agent and Club Reputation
Reputation Check
Before working with an agent, check their reviews and transaction history on forums, in chats, and with other players.
Avoid Fakes
Avoid transferring money to strangers, even if their nickname or avatar looks familiar — scammers often fake accounts.
Be Careful with External Software
Banned Software
Do not use third-party programs and bots: this is prohibited by PPPoker rules, and accounts caught in unfair play are permanently blocked.
Monitoring System
To monitor suspicious activity, PPPoker uses a system that tracks IP, GPS, and behavioral indicators to quickly identify collusion and automated play.
Pay Attention to Device Security
Antivirus and Updates
Protect your computer/smartphone with antivirus and keep your OS updated.
Protection Against Phishing and Fake Sites
Verify URLs
Always check the site address before entering passwords — scammers create fake copies of poker sites.
Use Bookmarks
Save official sites in bookmarks and use them instead of searching in browsers.
Monitor Account Activity
Regular Checks
Regularly check your account balance and transaction history.
Quick Reporting
If you notice suspicious activity, immediately contact club support and change your passwords.
