The fair board here is considering putting on a NLHE tourney during Bull Bash and then again during Fair & Rodeo.

Oregon is the state. Does anyone know the legality concerning these things? Can the house charge an entry or a one time rake, etc.?

TIA

No idea on your state laws, but in general a poker tourny is legal if the house takes no rake and 100% of the entry fees are paid out as winnings.

Hmmmm... I figured as much but was curious how PP, UB, PS and others take a rake while I set here in Oregon and 'gamble' at poker? Are their servers in Nevada, Atlantic City, on an Indian Reservation, beyond the twelve mile limit off shore, in another country?

Just curious... Guess I will talk to our DA today.

Thanks

i live in the willamette valley between salem and eugene and as far as i know, each county is allowed to make their own laws on gambling. that being said, RD is right in all the counties i know of. no rake or fee can be taken by the house and the house is not permitted to make odds. i have never heard though, that the house can't overcharge for beer and soda to make up for any "lost" revenue for holding a tourney.
"But they were suited?!?! You idiot!!"
