Players are expected to chat in a way that would be appropriate in a face-to-face meeting. Abusive, foul, or inappropriate chat will not be tolerated. Players doing this are subject to penalties, including removal of chat for a period of time or permanently. In severe cases, such players may lose their playing privileges. Players may not use the in-game chat feature to advertise websites or other commercial services. Such spamming may result in loss of chat and/or playing privileges.

Players may not spam tables with announcements of private tournaments or sit-and-go events. Such spamming may result in loss of chat, private tournament deployment, and/or playing privileges.

In both cash games and tournaments, players who have folded during a hand may not discuss the cards that they folded. This provides unfair information to players still in the hand.

In cash games only, players still in a hand may chat about what cards they claim to hold. This is coffee-housing, which is common in poker. However, players (in the hand or not) may not coach or otherwise suggest how another player should play his hand. For example, it is okay to say yours truly, should call; I’m bluffing. It is not okay to say, you should call; he’s bluffing.

In case of disputes, management decision is final.

Game Limits

Ozypoker Poker offers real-money poker at limits from $0.50/$1.00 to $100/$200 (this is customizable). In addition, Ozypoker Poker also offers play-money games which are absolutely free to play.

Minimum Buy-In

The minimum buy-in at any poker table is ten times the amount of the bet on the lower betting rounds. For example, the minimum buy-in for a $10/$20 game is $100.

All-In

When a player puts the last of their chips into a pot, that player is said to be all-in. An all-in player is not eligible to win any money bet above their final bet. The excess part of the bet is either returned to the bettor, or used to form a side pot with another player or players who matched the amount bet. There is no limitation on the number of side pots. However, the all-in player will be eligible for the main pot, and therefore cannot be forced from the hand.

Sometimes a player has enough chips to continue betting or calling but has been disconnected and unable to respond. In this case the player is also deemed to be “all-in” for all the amount of chips he has bet on this particular hand. If this happens repeatedly, it probably means your Internet connection is poor. Ozypoker Poker recommends that you stop playing for a while, and wait until your Internet connection improves.

If a player failed to act within the allotted time (usually 30 seconds) while being connected, the hand is folded and a corresponding message sent to a player by email explaining the system action.

High Speed Tables

These tables are identified by the words “fast” in the table list. These special tables are designed for those players who want to keep the game moving at a faster pace than a standard table.

If during the course of play you want to take a break when the blinds reach you, then click on the “Sit Out” checkbox. You will continue to be dealt in until the blinds reach you, at which time you will be placed in “Sitting Out” mode.
