Re: How the hell can a non-licensee get juice from an event in LV ?

at the $1k buyin CEO tour tournaments, they were advertizing it as:

$1000+$75 entrance fee

then on the last line of the back of the structure sheet, there is a line that said 9% will be withheld for the staff. that's um, a lot of % too.

The 9% for staff I later found out was 3% for Venetian staff and 6% for CEO Poker Tour (for what I don't know)

Nothing comes up on google for Nevada Children's Society. No "cancer" in that name either.

CEO Poker Tour Partners with Poker Players Alliance

by Maria Gomez, CEO Poker Tour

[ QUOTE ]
The CEO Poker Tour (www.ceopokertour.com), where executives battle for the title of Chairman of Poker, is partnering with the Poker Players Alliance (PPA) (www.pokerplayersalliance.org), which supports poker player rights, by strategically including PPA in the year long poker tour.

The partnership will include a strong presence at every tournament location to include: placement of PPA items and information in CEO Poker gift bags, poker room banner, CEO Poker website insertion with link to PPA website, logo on direct mail pieces, and more.

has anybody contacted the PPA about this?

The advertisement I brought with me promised me a free gift bag upon check in. My "gift bag" consisted of one hat.

Re: Venetian CEO Poker Tournament Main Event Furor
 

i downloaded the original structure sheet before it was changed, absolutely no mention of the 5% withheld for charity or that 6 or the 9% held for "Venetian Casino staff" actually went to CEO

you can download the document here.

Re: Board edit
 

What sort of penalties could CEO be looking at if the Nevada Gaming Commission finds them at fault or fraudulent in some way?

Re: Board edit
 

Has anyone made a report to the gaming commission?

This is just sick.
