Responsible Gambling

What LeakHunter is (and isn’t)#

LeakHunter is an educational poker diagnostic designed to help players identify decision-making leaks. We do not operate a gambling service, accept wagers, take deposits, set odds, or process bets.

This page also applies to Vinton Poker Coaching AI, which is an educational coaching tool, not a gambling service.

Poker involves risk, variance, and financial loss. No coaching, course, diagnostic, or AI tool can guarantee winnings or future results.

Who should not use this site#

• Minors: You must be 18+ (and meet the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to use this site.
• Anyone in recovery: If you are currently seeking help for gambling-related harm, prioritize support and consider avoiding poker content entirely.
• Anyone using poker to “get even”: If you’re chasing losses, you are not learning. You’re escalating risk.

Practical harm-minimization (use this as a checklist)#

• Set a time limit before you sit down. Leave when the timer ends.
• Set a loss limit. If you hit it, you’re done for the day. No exceptions.
• Never play when you’re sleep-deprived, intoxicated, angry, or desperate.
• Keep poker funds separate from rent, bills, family money, and savings.
• Take breaks. If your heart rate is up, your decisions will not improve by “pushing through.”
• If you can’t follow limits, consider self-exclusion tools offered by your local casino/operator.

Warning signs (be honest)#

• You hide your play, results, or spending from other people.
• You’re playing to escape stress, numb emotions, or fix a financial problem.
• You keep increasing stakes or session length to “make it worth it.”
• You can’t stop even after deciding you will.
• You’re borrowing money, selling things, or missing obligations because of poker.

If any of these are true, stop and get support. The strongest move is not a hero call. It’s a clean exit.
