The Gambling Act 2005 allows equal
chance gaming (including poker) in pubs, but introduces strict
conditions for any gaming, including limits on stakes and
prizes, and provides licensing authorities with powers to
take action against individual premises in a range of circumstances.
The Regulations set a fixed limit of £5 per game on
the amount that may be staked by a player in any type of equal
chance gaming in pubs and other premises with a bar, but combined
stakes per premises may not exceed £100 per day. There
is also a limit on prizes of £100 per game and no participation
fee may be charged.
All Ipswich Pub Poker events are run in strict adherence to
the Gambling Act 2005 and the Gambling Commission's Associated
Regulations.
