What is Poker?
Poker is a card game which, like bridge, involves elements of both chance and skill. It is therefore classified as a game of chance under the Gambling Act 2005. There are many variations on the game of poker, but the information in this fact sheet relates to equal chance poker games, like “Texas Hold ‘Em”, where players compete against each other, on equal terms. In most forms of the game players bet or stake progressively into a communal pot or kitty, with the player holding the best hand at the end of the bet winning the accumulated stakes. Unequal chance poker (e.g. “Casino stud poker” where the banker or dealer participates in the game and holds a mathematical edge over the other players) may only be played in licensed casinos or, if it is ‘domestic’ or ‘residential’, under the Act’s private gaming provisions.

Advice on Poker Night
Poker under the Gambling Act 2005
What is poker?
Poker is a card game which, like bridge, involves elements of both chance and skill. It is therefore classified as a game of chance under the Gambling Act 2005. There are many variations on the game of poker, but the information in this fact sheet relates to equal chance poker games, like “Texas Hold ‘Em”, where players compete against each other, on equal terms. In most forms of the game players bet or stake progressively into a communal pot or kitty, with the player holding the best hand at the end of the betting winning the accumulated stakes. Unequal chance poker (e.g. “Casino stud poker” where the banker or dealer participates in the game and holds a mathematical edge over the other players) may only be played in licensed casinos or, if it is ‘domestic’ or ‘residential’, under the Act’s private gaming provisions (see below).
Poker at non-commercial events
Poker may be played at non-commercial events under section 300 of the Gambling Act. Poker, or equal chance gaming more generally, may be the main or sole purpose of the event, but none of the proceeds of a noncommercial event may be used for private gain. These provisions are intended to be used by charities and other non-commercial societies for fundraising purposes. There are limits on the amounts that players may be charged to take part, and on the amount or value of the prizes. The maximum amount that a player may be charged is £8 per day (and this includes entrance fees, stakes and any other charges in relation to the gaming). The total amount paid out in prizes may not exceed £600, although where an event is the final one of a series in which all of the players have previously taken part, a higher prize fund of up to £900 is permitted (please note that the earlier events must have taken place on a different day to the final).
Private poker
Equal chance poker may be played under the private gaming provisions in section 296 of, and Schedule 15 to, the Act. Private gaming may only occur in a place to which the public does not have access (e.g. a private dwelling, hostel or hall of residence). No charge may be made for participation in private gaming (and that includes an entrance fee or other charge for admission), nor may any amounts be deducted from stakes or prizes. If private gaming is domestic or residential, the above conditions will apply, but unequal chance poker may also be played. Private gaming is ‘domestic’ if it takes place in a private dwelling and on a domestic occasion. Private gaming is ‘residential’ if it takes place in a hostel, hall of residence or similar establishment which is not administered in the course of a trade or business, and more than half of the participants are residents of that hostel, hall of residence or establishment.
NB. This fact sheet is intended to provide a general explanation of the regulatory regime under the Gambling Act 2005 and its subordinate legislation, and does not deal with every detail of the legislative provisions, or with the individual circumstances of a particular case. This fact sheet does not constitute legal advice and is not a substitute for the relevant legislative provisions. If you are in any doubt about the legality of any gambling activities that you intend to promote or for which you intend to provide facilities, you are strongly advised to seek independent legal advice.
