Hi Rivercard,

I also think this is a great idea but if you include home games how do you know players wont cheat- I mean the could just pick their best player and say he wins every other week to accumulate more points- I dont really know how you'll structure this tho

Hi

This sort of defeats the point....if you have an home game it still costs £1.50 per player. We charge the landlord this not the player, it covers our costs and helps promote there pub. If you where to cheat for 12 weeks in this league I think the cost would outstrip the benefit.We monitor everything that goes on but rely on the person in charge of each event to ensure fair play.

We are trying to put a credible league together that does not charge the player therefore is not gambling. We are trying to work the authorities to ensure the league grows and we are making some headway.This I hope will help with the growth of live poker and will deter people from trying to trick the system.


Its early days but lets see what happens


Thanks for your interest and support

Rivercard,

I've been on the site but can't see if there are any games in my area, I'm not sure if this is cos there are'nt or because the map isn't up to date??

Hi Mr F

We will be loading all the sites this week as the games start. We are also issuing all our agents with passcodes so they can update venues.  This will all (hopefully) be done by the end of week 1. If you mail me your area I will be able to tell you the nearest venue. We will be adding venues over the coming weeks, so we hope to have every area covered but cannot guarantee it.

I hope this helps
