Zynga Poker is entertainment first. No real money can be won here — but because optional chip packages are available for purchase, we take player safety just as seriously as any licensed operator.
Zynga Poker is a social casino game — you cannot win real money, cannot cash out chips, and no gambling licence applies. That said, we recognise that in-game purchases can become habit-forming for a small minority of players. This page details the tools we provide to help you stay in control of both your time and your spending, plus links to independent support services if you need them.
Set a maximum amount you can spend on Zynga Poker chip packages in any given week or month. Decreases apply immediately; increases are subject to a 24-hour cooling-off period.
Enable a confirmation pop-up on every in-app purchase. A helpful safeguard against accidental taps and impulse buys.
Turn off in-app purchases from the Zynga Poker settings menu. Your game continues normally — you just can't buy chips. Great for shared devices with younger family members.
Choose an on-screen reminder every 30, 60 or 120 minutes telling you how long you've been playing. Great for keeping sessions in check.
Pause your Zynga Poker account for 1 to 90 days. Your progression is preserved but you cannot log in or purchase during the pause window.
It might be time to take a break from Zynga Poker if you notice any of these patterns:
Zynga Poker is intended for players aged 18 and over. We use age-gating at registration and monitor for underage accounts. If you share a device with a minor, please enable device-level parental controls (Screen Time on iOS, Family Link on Android) and disable in-app purchases within Zynga Poker settings.
