LAW ENFORCEMENT SUED BY POKER TOURNEY COMPANY

No cash money involved in North Carolina poker tournaments

Media advertising for internet gambling companies in the USA is not the only sector that has come under attack from the authorities, it appears...and there's a company out there that, like internet gambling portal Casino City is prepared to challenge the activities of law enforcement agencies.

Charlotte-based 5th Street Entertainment LLC has launched litigation against five North Carolina law enforcement agencies for declaring that land poker tournaments run with prizes but no cash money is illegal.

The company, which organises poker tournaments, said that law enforcement agencies have prejudiced its business by declaring the games illegal and warning that restaurants or bars that host them could lose their state liquor licenses. The tournaments have been forced to stop awarding prizes as a consequence.

Company attorney William Bunting claims that: " North Carolina's gambling statute requires that something of value be bet in order to be considered gambling. This is merely a game people get together and play."
