Petition Raise The Legal Limit of Stakes For Poker In Pubs To £10 And £20 In Social Clubs

Current law states that:
Low stakes poker is permitted in pubs so long as stakes are kept to a maximum of £5 per player and £100 total pot per premises per day
Low stakes poker in social clubs with the correct gaming permit allows a maximum of £10 per player and £250 total pot per premises per day

More details

We are petitioning to change this law to the following:

Low stakes poker to be permitted in pubs but with stakes kept to: a £10 Maximum per player with a £200 maximum pot, in social clubs: a £20 maximum per player £500 maximum pot, with the correct gaming permit"

the stake limit should now be raised as inflation no longer reflects the old limits set in the gambling act 2005

We believe that this change to the law would also benefit all UK pubs who are struggling to survive
