why on earth would i have a gaming license ? , like i said im a poker player and am not involved in the owning or management club
its just local to me and i've played there a few times and they treat their customers better than any othr cardroom ive ever been in, and ive played in many clubs , living in USA for 10 years n played many of those years in the big venues in Vegas , and still this card room has treated me the best out of any.

but yes they do have a  license and everything is above board

I'd be surprised at that but happy to be wrong. Doubt I'll ever visit though, location is terrible for most.

woodsey  :  location maybe terrible for u but judging by how busy the club has been when i visited , i'd say its in a good location for alot of players

dik9:   as for paying GGY, theres a contact us page on the link i posted earlier if u want to know wot htey do or do not pay maybe worth giving them a call n speak to the card room manager

My original intention with posting the details was to let players know there are other options and places to play, up until recently i had no option but to travel the 2+ hours , i have no idea where u all live and how many other players would like an opportunity to place closer to home like myself , so i posted the information i know , anything else then i suggest contact the club


I will say one final time for those whose seem to be missing it in my previous posts
I AM HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH  MANAGEMENT OR OWNERSHIP OF THE MALTINGS POKER ROOM

No need really, they won't be paying GGY as they are not casino licence holders, I presume they are under the umbrella of a private members club, it does look very nice btw, but as it is being advertised as  the newest 'poker only' venue in West Norfolk I suggest the owner gets someone to look into the legality, or even read the GC's terms and conditions of poker in private members clubs.

Hence the reason Rob has posted that it is unfair, as DTD is 100% legal and THE ONLY 100% legal Poker only venue in the country.

Obviously.  But like the countless others, they'll continue to get away with how they operate whilst Rob and DTD continue to jump through hoops to be 100% legal.

I think their might be a slight contradiction there.

But I think the main problem is with they system itself rather than the individuals who try to get around it.

The law is the problem.  But whilst it's in place, these venues are operating outside of it.  Players need to be aware of that, and many aren't.

It's like speeding limits.

You may not agree with them - but whilst it's the law, you 'should' abide by them.

I'm afraid that any club that expects me to play in a self deal game until the final table is not treating me better than I've been treated before....self deal is not the way to go imo - just takes the game backwards.

well let me say 1st of all , that the tournaments are not self deal , neither are the 50-1 games n higher, the only self dealt game is 25-50 , which also gives the lower stakes players a chance to play and all for the price of £2.50 an hour, even the vic in london has self dealt games at 50-1 n they charge £6 an hour.so if u think the best card room in the country for the last 20 years is backwards having self dealt games then maltings is in fine company
