I'd like to discuss concurrent tournaments. VDACS'; ban on such events harms players, dealers, and charities as it goes beyond their purview and isn't authorized by statute. This arbitrary restriction on legal poker tournaments seems unreasonable without a significant regulatory need to uphold charitable gaming integrity. Why would regulations prohibit concurrent tournaments when the Code approves them? One logical fix is to eliminate proposed 11VAC20-30-90.F.

I want to address tipping. VDACS’ restriction hurts dealers, players, and charities due to the inability to offer typical poker room compensation, affecting charity poker operations and potentially stopping play. Tipping is essential for dealers’ financial well-being in the poker industry. Why would regulations ban tipping while the Code allows it? This baseless limitation suggests VDACS lacks knowledge of the poker field. A fair solution is to remove this tipping constraint.
