Poker for non-profit organization
Recently ive been looking into if it would be legal to have some type of poker room in new jersey if the profit would go to a non-profit organization. From my understanding and brief overview poker does not fall into one of the gambling "activities" a non profit org can host.I think it would be a great idea and could be extremly beneficial to all. NEw jersey would prob be the hardest state to do this is, but is it even possible?

Ask a lawyer in New Jersey, not a bunch of blowhards on the Internet (myself included.)

This is done in chicago. I assume it can be done in your state, but you'd better check. In chicago, they travel from location to location, instead of having a standalone poker room. I question the security of this.

Yes it's possible. Delaware changed this a year or so ago. It had to go through all of the legislative channels after the intitial games were shut down.
IMO, the games suck due to the % of $ going to the charity and the structures of the games. This place www.depokerroom.com actually holds games for the charities as well.
