Guys and gals: if you play at home games in NC, regardless of the stakes, be aware that there have been multiple busts over the last month or so. I'm in the Raleigh area and I know of 3 that were busted with some arrests in just the past few weeks. Stay alert. Be safe. Don't go to games with "other" activities going on.

I've been invited to a couple of home games in Raleigh but have never gone for fear that what you say has happened would happen the night I show up! One appears to be very organized and has a freeroll and BBJ! Feel free to PM me some details if you can share. I haven't seen anything reported in the media about it.

I haven't seen any news reports either. I just know through other sources. There's SEVERAL games around here on any given night with varying ranges. Most run the BB and FR and feed you. The problem they have is the whole rake thing. Authorities would probably leave you alone if you just played small stakes no rake.

I find the idea of "illegal" home games and things like that quite exciting. Are they big games? I suppose there is the other side that the people running them won't exactly be legitimate, stand up people who stick to making everything "fair".

i'm glad that i don't live down there

I'm glad that I don't live in the NC I know where I used to live some people used to have home games and they never got busted. Me if you are having a home game it's not the police business. I would not have a home game if there are other activities. I would love to see people just get together and play cards and not poker and play cards down stairs. and see the police break down the door and find out that there is no poker. that would be a law suit and after a few law suits they would stop going to peoples homes. And I think that people should start to blow up the Governor phone up with complaints and fill his mail box up has well with complaints.

Unbelievable

Unbelievable is the only expression I can think of. there are no real crimes in in North Carolina that the police have time and sources to bust home games?
i will say someone must be informing at a house level about the home games. is a waste of time and resources :confused:

It's not a home game if it has rake or charges admission.
Doing so is clearly illegal.

This is just sad. Only here in the U.S. lol. If they would focus their energy and resources on other things and real crime then we might accomplish something. That is my rant for the day.

USA

The USA will soon be a third world country at this rate. What , with presidential hopefuls such as Bernie,Hillary,and Creepy Ted Cruz , the USA is A JOKE. Only Donald Trump is smart enough to know that trade and immigration have made the USA poorer. Meanwhile the stupid citizens believe the corrupt media and establishment as they denigrate Trump. TV reality shows such as Honey Boo Boo and The Kardashians actually show that the majority of americans have no more than one brain cell. It is my belief that supporters of Hillary,Bernie, and Creepy Ted Cruz are all one eyed,brainless,clones of Sugar Bear from Honey Boo Boo.

sad state of affairs when you can't have gambling in your own house, but it is fine for a corporation to do the same thing. Maybe, a license is required? Getting state approval before customers walk into your gambling den.

Thats the problem is they are running a gambling parlor. They collect rake, have free rolls and bad beat jackpots, charge fees for tourneys, etc. if you are just playing with friends they could care less.

Exactly. The DA (or the DA from a few years ago anyway) was quoted for basically saying the same thing but in a legalese, side stepping politician kind of way. LOL

P.S. Howdy neighbor. Not far from you.
