Security
- Transaction Security

The payment processing center uses the highest levels of data encryption. The Payment Processing Center uses 128 bit encryption to ensure the highest level of privacy and confidentiality of your data both to and from the online poker room.

- Account Security

Toronto Poker Network accounts may only be accessed with a unique username and password. Each player is allowed only one account. Players must register using their true and legal identity and are required to provide their mailing address and contact information. Random identity checks are done to protect the integrity of the system.

Game Fairness
Every online poker room uses random number generators (RNG) to shuffle the decks and pull the cards one by one. A good RNG generates numbers that are:

- Evenly distributed

- Unrelated

- Unpredictable

Where a 'random' number generator is biased, players could recognize and exploit its bias. A poker room¹s RNG is its lifeblood. A faulty RNG means predictable games, which means players quickly disappearing to look elsewhere for a fair game. It¹s in the poker room¹s interest to use as unbiased an RNG as possible.

TorontoPokerNetwork.com uses 2 cryptographically certified and secured RNG's. Each incorporates a "seed", i.e. the point from which a sequence of randomly generated numbers starts. It's impossible to predict the sequences resulting from the seed. To ensure that a sequence doesn't repeat, the seed is calculated using as many factors as possible, including network activity, time of day and many other parameters.

Code of Conduct

TorontoPokerNetwork.com requires that new customers declare that they are of lawful age in their respective jurisdiction. In some cases they will randomly verify the validity of such information through government issued IDs.

- Controlling Compulsive Gambling
