A house rules page and a "poker etiquette" article usually sit on the same operator's own site. Read side by side, they draw a clear line between what gets you banned and what just gets you disliked.
Read Online poker etiquette is not written down
A slow roll is delaying the reveal of a winning hand at showdown after an opponent has shown. The 888poker etiquette guide calls it 'highly unethical'; the 888poker house rules and the 2026 World Series of Poker tournament rules do not name it at all. This piece reads all three, separates the slow roll from ordinary slow play, and sorts each behaviour into rule or convention.
Read What is slow rolling poker: what the posted rules say and what players merely expect
Compare 888poker’s etiquette writing with its house rules, then separate an observed online delay from an allegation of deliberate humiliation or cheating.
Read A slow roll is a conduct question before it is a penalty
Five PokerStars help pages separate leaving after a win, same-table returns, buy-in obligations and Seat Me, with their scope differences kept visible.
Read Leaving a poker table and returning with less money are different decisions
A practical guide to the social boundaries of an online table: protect live decisions, use the right support channel and leave room for the person behind the screen.
Read What should you say in an online poker table’s chat?
Card stock, finish and cutting matter as much as the illustration on the back. One maker publishes 3 sizes and up to 12 quality controls per card.

Read The posted rules belong to the table

Read Why a cardroom keeps chips in view888poker's guide lists 30 and calls them unwritten. The ones checked here against the rule books are showing quickly at showdown, not slow rolling, and not holding up the game; the WSOP rules turn the last two into penalties.
From What is slow rolling poker: what the posted rules say and what players merely expect
Live, the WSOP rules give observers the clock and staff a penalty ladder; online, 888poker's house rules give the player a time bank and a general unethical-play clause that reaches the account.
From What is slow rolling poker: what the posted rules say and what players merely expect
888poker publishes the 30-rule guide read here; the WSOP publishes rules rather than an etiquette guide, and this piece recommends no guide over another.
From What is slow rolling poker: what the posted rules say and what players merely expect
There is no universal penalty established by these sources. 888poker criticises it in etiquette material and publishes a broader fair-play policy, so neither “always banned” nor “always permitted” is a supported general answer.
From A slow roll is a conduct question before it is a penalty
No. A delay is observable; motive needs more evidence. The operator material acknowledges divided online attention and internet lag as relevant possibilities.
