DUSK TILL DAWN - HAVE YOUR SAY AT THE COURT HEARING..............
«
on:
August 06, 2007, 04:58:42 AM »
Dusk Till Dawn has its Magistrates' court hearing for a Nottingham Casino Licence on the 24th September 2007.
Although the Club will be a
dedicated poker only club
(no blackjack, roulette etc), UK law currently states that we must have a full casino licence to open.
At the hearing DTD must prove that there is sufficient demand for playing poker
outside of a casino environment
.
We have the UK Gambling Commission's consent and support, but there is very strong opposition from 3 casino companies, who firmly believe that DTD should not be granted the licence. We respect the Casinos' reasons and motives for this, but the Magistrates should know what the poker community thinks before they make their decision.
We will to supply the Magistrates Court with
your unedited comments
, in favour of Dusk Till Dawn or not. We have until the end of this week to submit these comments as evidence.
Please post them here ideally in 2 format's depending on your opinion:
"I would like to play poker at Dusk Till Dawn because................................................."
or
"I would NOT like to play poker at Dusk Till Dawn because................."
Feel free to leave your post anonomous or put
- your real name
- your occupation,
- your town of residence
Yours sincerely,
Robert Yong
Managing Director
Dusk Till Dawn

I live in Surrey and I would like to play poker at Dusk Till Dawn as much as possible because:
a) It will be a legal, safe and friendly venue
b) It will be large enough to hold some of the most prestigious tournaments in Europe
c) Having a casino without any casino games like roulette and blackjack is a very brave and honourable venture and many poker players including myself will want to support it

If i were to return to England I would choose to play at a club such as DTD.
This is a place set up with all the legal requirements, by a "poker player" businessman with poker players at heart.
He has chosen to operate under a full casino license but has made it publicly known he has no wish to operate casino style games.
Therefore i feel the casinos have no axe to grind, as poker to them is always secondary.
This person has the support of the poker world countrywide. and deserves the support of officialdom.
Not only will he be supplying a service that is probably the most popular pastime at this current time, but he will be offering employment to many, which is always a good thing.
Give this man his License.

I would like to play poker at Dusk Till Dawn because...............
I play poker as a hobby and have no interest in other table games. I have been travelling more extensively to meet others from the large poker community. Presently the only arena I can play these games is within a Casino.
Too many of these Casinos do not fully understand a Poker players needs and have no wish to do so.
They merely want them into their Casinos to be attracted to the other Casino games such as Roulette and Blackjack which is where they make their money. I doubt that any casino has run a Poker tournament where they have made any profit on the Poker alone.
DTD is totally Poker orientated which can only benefit all Poker players wishing to visit.

I would like to play poker at Dusk Till Dawn due to it being a venue totally dedicated to the needs of poker players. Offering the chance to participate in poker games that will be run on a professional level thus allowing players to relax, concentrate and enjoy the game in hand without having to endure the background noise that Casino's tend to generate from music and other Casino games.

DTD is run by poker players, for poker players, and this can only be good for the community as a whole.

I would like to play at Dusk Till Dawn as I'd like to play in a venue where the primary goal is a good game of poker, instead of poker being used to entice poker players in to play the house games.

I would like to play poker at Dusk till dawn because I would much prefer to play in a venue that is tailored towards the poker player, without the temptation of playing casino house games that serve no real purpose other than to take your money. I like many other poker players have lost countless amounts of money playing casino house games and feel it would be socially responsible to offer a venue that only offers poker so the temptation isn't there.

I would like to play poker at Dusk till dawn because it will be the only European poker venue to compete with the US market.
Has the potential to become the premier poker venue in THE WORLD, which can only be good for Nottingham and the UK.
Also I play very little live poker at the moment as my current choices are card rooms which are bordering on the illegal, or casinos which I avoid due to the temptation of gambling games.
