teacher12 0 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I am a 4th grade teacher in a urban community. My students do not have much money. They do not get the same opportunities as the student int he rich affluent areas. My goal as a teacher here for the first six years is to let them experience things that they would never get the chance to. My students love these excursions i take them on. They are not trips to the zoo, or picking pumpkins. They are exciting, fun educational trips which they seem to never forget. ( and of cours ethe end of the year fun trip)To do this I work my ass off creating fund raisers to take my students on these exciting and educational trips. This year I have a lot to be raised so I decided to have apoker tournament in a rich affluent area where it is very porular. Half themoney will go to the winners and the other half to fund my students on their trip. My question is do i have to clear this with someone to runa tournament like this? (legally) The tournament wqill be taking place in a store that one of my friend's own. ( a warehouse) The amount of money that would be charged is 50.00 for the tournament. My firends are the dealers and I have a lot of people who would be interested. This would allow me to take several more of the classes on these trips. I think it is only right to give these inner city kids the same opportunities as the rich suburban children. Is this legal? SORRY for nay typos. In a hurry! Link to post Share on other sites
custom36 4 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Check your state laws. Make sure it's not illegal.Then, check with the school board. If the school board finds out you did this without them, they'll be mightily pissed off.Then, check with the parents. Link to post Share on other sites

dank773 0 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 As far as I know, it is illegal for any non-licensed casino to take a rake from a poker game. Of course, these laws are not usually enforced, and when they are they come under a lot of scrutiny. So, since you are "profiting", it would be illegal, but for most charity tournaments, the police look the other way. But there have been some stories in the news recently about charity tournaments and home games being busted. Check your local laws, and see if anyone else has run a charitable tourny, and ask them for advice. Link to post Share on other sites
mrdannyg 274 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 this is probably illegal. but if you give out prizes instead of cash, you may be able to dodge that. good luck and learn to spell.daniel Link to post Share on other sites
ronnieburger 0 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 yes as someone said taking a rake would be illigeal but i am sure if you inform the people before the tourney that they will be "forced" to "donate" or "sponsor" the trip for your kids and that half the prize pool be given to you and your kids and that they will not mind as long as they are acknowleged sp? as donating to this worthy causeo yeah and check wit da parents definitly Link to post Share on other sites
FileError404 0 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I recommend e-mailing the folks at http://www.pokerplayersalliance.org/They're an organisation to keep and make poker legal and would probably have a real answer for your problem.Gl! Link to post Share on other sites
The Enforcer 0 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 is it really necesarry for inner city 4th graders to go on field trips? They all just grow up to be hos and drug dealers. On a serious note: take them on a field trip to the local prison. Tell them not to end up living there. Link to post Share on other sites

loogie 115 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Go to www.twoplustwo.com and ask this question. You'll get better information.My educated guess that this idea is illegal and could possibly get you fired if you decide to just go ahead with it. Link to post Share on other sites
