the reason we can do this is because we do not play for money and there no cash prizes
and yes it is a fine line or gray area, and i believe some day the government will stick its nose in and make a law against it
but if they do not allow poker then darts, pool, tournaments will have to be banned also
besides where else can you go out for $20 or $40 and have a night of entertainment
Prophet 22
Poker is different from pool and darts which are games of skill and not chance. Despite contradictory arguments poker in Ontario is a game a chance and as such must be regulated by the AGCO.
You are seriously misled if you feel you can charge $20 (self-admittedly) for prizes in a licensed venue and not be violating AGCO legislation.
If this were possible every bar in town would turn into a Casino.
Where have you looked? As Prophet said, search the forum. Many before you have looked and given DETAILS of what they have been told by the OPP, AGCO, lawyers, etc. What you are describing is CLEARLY ILLEGAL, and if you have been told different by an official source, many of us would like to contact them for more information.Â
"I hope" indicates you have NOT actually looked into this, or you would know.
It is regulated by the AGCO, but poker is not a game of chance. It is legally considered a game of "mixed skill and chance" (R. v. Grossman, [1991] O.J. No. 869 (Ont. Prov Ct.)) so some of the provisions of the Criminal Code for games of "pure chance" don't apply.
