Sorry, I just can't risk my job playing in one of these events if it is not sanctioned. | If you have nothing of value to add to this thread, then keep your comments to yourself. What value do these comments add?? If you will only play in OLG approved tournaments, then that is your decision. I personally like to know about these tournaments so I have options to play outside of the government run poker rooms. Making these idiotic statements adds little value to this thread or forum. Get off your fucking high horse already.

its more the approach that bothers me; its just as easy to say, 'have you looked into a licence for the event?' This forum is to promote poker, not discourage it.

Hello,
I understand your concern.
The event has the backing of the charity.
They have also included our event on their website which can be viewed here: 3rdParty Events : Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Canada

Unfortunately, 13CARDS is right that without an AGCO license number, any raked-for-charity poker game is probably illegal under the anti-poker laws. Quote:

It would be absolutely shameful for this tournament to be considered an underground activity. There's no way the secret police is this insensitive is there? As for rake, from what I understand, the charitable donation is separate from the tourney fees so it can be argued it is rake free.

I played at a 'charity' tournament recently at the Toronto Board of Trade for United Way. Most large charities have illegal tournaments all the time.

Thank you to all that attended.
We had a great turnout and were able to raise about $8000 for the charity from the tourney alone.
Our online auction goes for about another week for anyone that is interested.
Items include a Leafs Private Box, Raptors Tix, WWE Supershow Tix, an Executive Poker Set and more. Moes 4 A Cure Auction
Thanks again,
Mike
