Proposed Poker Regulations
 
  • With respect to player limitations, 11VAC20-30-90.C-D imposes unwarranted restrictions on people with remote links to poker games, negatively affecting players, dealers, and charities. These excessive constraints obstruct the poker community's bonding and game enjoyment, a result of VDACS' unfamiliarity with the industry. A suitable proposal would be to strike 11VAC20-30-90.C-D and prevent only a dealer's family member from playing at the table they are dealing.
