    I'll give you the same cautionary post that everyone else gets . . . you may wish to remove the location from your post. Save that information for private contacts off-line. This is most likely not a legal event (it's charity angle notwithstanding), and you might wish to minimize your risk of getting shut down.

    And no, I am not joking, just trying to be helpful.

    Hi Milo,

    I very much appreciate the friendly warning; however this is very much a legal event run by a registered charity and third-party gambling company (Poker Pigs)

    Cheers! :)

    Vee, I'll send you a PM regarding charity tournaments as this has been discussed on the forum many, many times.

    Very detailed PM sent.

    I wish you the best of luck with your tourney and hope you raise a ton of money for your charity.
  • MiloMilo
    Vee, if that is the case you can add the charity license # to the OP and you'll be fine. If there is no # to post, you better read the PM Bill sends you closely.

    Regardless, I wish you success . . .

    Thanks Bill and again Milo! Sorry for being ignorant about general protocol - I'm clearly new here *blushes*

    I'm really helping my friend to promote, as I work in event promo for live entertainment. Anyway, I will definitely get the charity # off him and provide that! Knowing it was a legit event, the gambling laws didn't even cross my mind given I'm not used to promoting these events.

    Thanks again guys

    No problem, we are happy to help out new members. Charity tournies go on all the time. More often than not they go off without a hitch. But that does not mean that the occasional event does not receive a "friendly word" from the authorities that they should not proceed. The less "noise" your party makes, the less likely you are to attract unwanted attention.

    Good luck

    Checked your link . . . is Four Squares affiliated with Michael Clemons in any way? I remember listening to him on the Fan590, talking about his charity that is building schools in Africa, and I am curious if they are one and the same.
  • VeeVee
    I honestly couldn't tell you...I only very recently got involved in spreading the word about this event and am not all that involved with the charity itself. I can find out, though! It's a definite possibility as I do recall high profile sponsors being on board for prior events.
  • wildbill7145wildbill7145
    They (member Adam E.) advertised their charity tourneys on the forum in the past. Same location, etc.
  • VeeVee
    Look at that...you know more than I do! LOL

    Alright, I guess they are aware then and are willing to take the risk. That's a bit of a relief for me for sure!

    Welcome to the site, by the way . . .
