Can I change my player Nickname?
Last Updated 7 years ago
We generally discourage name changes unless there are some clear signs of harassment or other serious reasons a name change is required.
Online poker is especially hard because we don't have the advantage of face to face contact in order to help us read the player or detect their "tells". The only thing a player can do is take notes on their opponents playing style. If we allowed name changes then even taking notes would be impossible making the game even less about skill and more about luck.
Poqery always tries to promote practices that will improve the game of poker so we don't allow name changes to occur. We're sorry if this disappoints you, but hope you understand our reasoning and can see how this is sensible given the game we are playing.
