1.
What happens if I get disconnected in the middle of a game?
Your hand will be protected by our ‘All-In Protection Feature’
UNLESS you have folded your hand.
Player accounts are unaffected by incomplete hands: only completed
hands are posted to your account.

to Top, Connection Problems FAQ
2. What happens when a hand is
restarted?
Occasionally a hand will appear to start, as indicated by the shuffle
of the cards and the prompt for the posting of the blinds.
Then there is a pause and the dealer text indicates that the "Hand
Will Start Over". Do not be concerned about deductions to your
account in this instance.
Player accounts are unaffected by incomplete hands: only completed
hands are posted to your account. This means that any blinds posted
and bets made in an incomplete hand are not taken from the player’s
true account balance.

3. The game froze on my screen
and I wasn't given the chance to act. The system said it put me
"All-In", but I've still got lots of money. What do I
do?
When the game does not receive a response from you or your computer
within:
-
15
seconds for 7-Card Stud or
-
20 seconds for Texas Hold' Em
… it considers
you to be timed out and the game completes the hand without you.
If you have not exceeded your "all-ins" for the day, you
will be put "all-in" and your investment in the hand will
be protected to the completion of the hand. For additional details
about this feature, please read about the All-In
Policy.

4. What is the ‘All In’
Policy?
These are the four circumstances in which the ‘All In’
policy will apply:
-
When you put the last of your chips into the pot, you are considered
to be all-in.
-
You
cannot be forced from a hand if you don't have a sufficient amount
of chips to call a bet.
-
You are able to call for the amount that you have.
-
The remainder of the bet is either returned to the player who
made the original bet or a side pot is created if called by any
number of other players.Connection Problems FAQ
-
Click on The Caribbean Sun Poker™ Room icon on your desktop to re-start
the game.
-
Click
on ‘Log Viewer’ to see results of your "all-in"
hand and continue playing.
<--Back
to Top, Connection Problems FAQ
6. The log viewer indicates that my
hand was folded. I thought I was supposed to be put all-in when
I was timed out?
The system will only fold a hand under the following circumstances:
-
Player selects "Fold" when prompted.
-
Player selects "Leave Game" or the "X" exit
button in top right corner of playing screen.
-
Player is timed out and has exceeded his all-in protection quota
for the day.
When you are
experiencing lag, the controls you send may be making their way
to the Caribbean Sun Poker™ Room computer even though you may appear
frozen on your screen. It is important to allow sufficient time
for the hand to complete and be posted to players' accounts before
choosing to leave the game and log back in. In this way, you can
avoid the chance of folding a hand which otherwise may have been
protected.

7. The server crashed in the middle
of a hand. What happened to my money? What happens when a hand is
restarted? What happens to my money?
Transactions are posted to players' accounts only at the completion
of every hand.
If a hand does not complete for any reason, then all players' accounts
are restored as they were at the beginning of the hand. All bets
are off and a new hand is dealt.

8.
How many times can I use the All-In Protection feature in a 24-hour period?
You can use one ‘All In’ per 24-hour period.
The number of remaining player ‘All-In's’ is displayed
in the top right corner of the Real Money Poker table window. Players
may also find their current number of remaining ‘All-In's’
by clicking on the ‘Cashier’ button.
If you have used all of your All-In's, you may request to have them
reset by clicking on the Options button and choosing "Request
All-In Reset." All-In's are automatically reset on a daily
basis.
The Caribbean Sun Poker™ Room's card room manager supervises All-In
activity during Play for Real games. Any player who misuses this
feature will either be denied any All-In reset request or suspended
from the game.

the two numbers are the same, then there is a problem - please contact
us.
If the two numbers are different, you are using the wrong PIN for

4. How do you prove your random
number generator is unbiased?
The random number generator used by the poker room is tested by
comparing a very long sequence of generated numbers to those of
various statistical distributions. If any of these tests are found
to be outside theoretical limits, the random number generator is
not used.
The current version of the random number generator was tested using
a sequence of 300,000,000 (three hundred million) numbers to verify
its randomness, and is tested regularly.

In order to protect your chips in the event of a connection problem,
you are allotted a specified number of 'All-Ins' per day.
The game server is able to determine connectivity to the client
software running on your system.
If you are disconnected from the server, you will be put all-in.
If you have not lost connection to the server and fail to act on
your hand, the hand will be folded.

8.
What is the table stakes indicator, how accurate is it and how do
I refresh it?
There is a pop up indicator that displays the players' stake for
every player seated at the table. Also called a "chip stack
indicator", this pop up is an indicator, not an absolute value
for a player's account balance.
The timing of posting of hand outcomes, as well as the occurrence
of incomplete hands, will cause a table stake indicator to provide
a slightly inaccurate reading.
For the absolute value of your player's account at any given time,
you must refresh your table stake indicator.
From the table:
-
-
-
The amount displayed to you defaults to your entire player's account
balance as taken directly from your transaction log.
This is the
net effect of all buy-ins, cash-outs and net wins/losses in all
completed hands in which you were financially involved.
Please use the chip stack indicator as a gauge of remaining chips,
and remember to refresh the value from time to time during your
playing session.
If you have any questions about how this indicator works, please
do not hesitate to e-mail to support@CaribbeanSunPoker.com
for additional details.

9. How does Caribbean Sun Poker™ Room
make money?
The Caribbean Sun Poker™ Room collects a percentage of the total pot at
the end of every hand called a "rake". The rake is calculated
by both the size of the pot and the number of players in the game.
Please see our House Rake
section for more information.
