While the regulations are aimed at preventing fraud and protecting participants, they could also inadvertently harm charities by making it more difficult for them to attract skilled poker players. If the rules make it too difficult or unappealing for experienced players to participate, charities may struggle to attract the kind of high-stakes games that can generate significant fundraising dollars. As a poker player and someone who cares and has been personally involved with charity I would love to support my communities by playing poker. However even I have to admit the casinos just for my own enjoyment of the game purpose is making me want to play at the casinos more and more which I hate because I don't want to give those money hungry s my money when it could be used for much better causes other than a private jet out to the Bahamas for the owners and who ever they pay off **heavy eye roll**
