I'd like to comment on concurrent tournaments. VDACS' ban negatively affects players, dealers, and charities as it exceeds their authority and isn't supported by statute. This unwarranted limitation on legal poker events seems unjustified without a pressing regulatory necessity to protect charitable gaming. Why do the regulations forbid concurrent tournaments while the Code permits them? A sensible fix is to strike proposed 11VAC20-30-90.F.

I’d like to discuss tipping. VDACS’ ban on tipping harms dealers, players, and charities as it disallows standard poker room compensation, hindering charity poker operations and possibly preventing play. Tipping is crucial for dealers’ livelihoods in the poker sector. Why would regulations prohibit tipping when the Code approves it? This arbitrary constraint reveals VDACS’ lack of understanding of the poker domain. One logical fix is to eliminate this tipping restriction
