Nice website! Looks like a fun event.
OP, it is in your event's interest to please disclose more info.
Especially if a portion of proceeds are going to a charity. That would mean that there is a rake being paid no?
Just being a doubting Thomas, otherwise it looks very good

I have seen a lot of other people try this and give out cash prizes and they were not allowed because you need a charity license to run a poker tournament? If I am wrong that's great cause I would like to play in this...:)

The T&C seems a bit confusing.
If I understand correctly - If I cash (or win) I dont get the prize that day?
What security reasons, you're concerned the winner could be mugged?
Haha... ya, the Four Seasons is lurking with muggers. You should be able to at least cut a check on spot.
For accounting and tax purposes, it will be difficult to cut a check on the spot. I will contact the organizers and insist that they figure out a way to payout on-site, or as quickly as possible.
Thank you for voicing your concerns.
Tom
Thank you for your suggestions. I, myself am helping to promote the Rounders Raise event, and hold no real decision making power. I will however pass on all your suggestions to the event organizers and update you on the progress.
I want what's best for all guests. I am aware that in illegal poker dens, payouts are immediate, but this is not some shady underground game.
Are you concerned that if you are not paid on the day of the tournament, you won't be paid at all? Or would you rather not wait for payouts just because no one likes waiting for money.
Either way, you will be paid out if you win. I will keep you updated on the payment schedule.
Here is a bit more detailed Blind Structure. Keep in mind it raises every 20 minutes. I will have the organizers post the Blinds. Thanks, Tom.
25-50 50-100 100-200 150-300
200-400 300-600 400-800 500-1000 600-1200 800-1600 1000-2000 1200-2400 1500-3000 2000-4000 3000-6000 4000-8000
The is the first time I've ever heard of a payment later for a live tournament, whether charity or underground. Doesn't make sense that you don't hand it out as you will have at least $100 per person in cash in hand at that time.
Please understand that I am an honest guy looking out for your interest. If I was a jerk, I would just tell you that all cash prizes will be paid out on the tournament day.
I will do my best to ensure you are comfortable signing up.
Tom
Thanks guys.
Tom
