I want to address tipping. Who to tip is a personal decision. VDACS’ restriction hurts dealers, players, and charities due to the inability to offer typical poker room compensation, affecting charity poker operations and potentially stopping play. Tipping is essential for dealers’ financial well-being in the poker industry. Why would regulations ban tipping while the Code allows it? This baseless limitation suggests VDACS lacks knowledge of the poker field. A fair solution is to remove this tipping constraint.
