Why choose the United Bar Poker Tour (UBPT)?
WHO is the United Bar Poker Tour?
We were started by Casino Masters USA which opened in November 1997
in Colorado. Casino Masters USA creates and manages casino theme parties
for private businesses, charity events, and special event productions.
The Denver Poker Tour was created in October 2003 after the creation of
the "Poker Craze" by ESPNs' broadcasts of past World Series of Poker
Events. Since inception, the Denver Poker Tour has operated and staffed
over 20,000 individual poker tournaments with an average attendance of
over 50 players. In 2007 the Denver Poker Tour morphed into the United
Bar Poker Tour, and went National!
The United Bar Poker Tour is the largest FREE Bar Poker Tour Operator
in the United States. We currently operate tournament events in
Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Washington, Utah, and are looking to expand!
In 2010, the United Bar Poker Tour is scheduled to expand into
Wyoming, Tennessee, Kentucky, Idaho, and Oregon. If you feel that you

But the most
important reason of all...
We're legal!
Recently the United States Department of Labor and the
Internal Revenue Service stated that the dealers and management of
"poker tour" companies were not contractors, but in fact full fledged
employees. This meant that "poker tour" companies had to offer like any
other LEGAL business:
General Liability Insurance, Workers Compensation,
Unemployment Benefits, State Withholding Taxes, Federal Withholding
Taxes, Social Security Matching Contribution, and many more. We also had
to abide by the EEOC, OSHA, FLSA, USERRA, and Fair Employment Act.
Does your "poker tour" do this?
Is this going to leave you without a "poker tour" in
your bar? Does failure to comply to these new laws jeopardize your
establishment or your game? Maybe you should check with your legal
counsel.
Some legal questions for you to consider.
Q: Am I allowed to award more chips or preferred seating
to players who purchase food or drink at my establishment?
A: No, this is construed as a buy in as is illegal.
Q: Can I charge players a minimum drink or food purchase
in order for them to play?
A: No, it's illegal. It constitutes a buy-in. Q: Can I award additional chiops to players for making
purchases in my my establishment? A: No, that is also
illegal.
Q: But my "poker tour" company said I could.
A: We have been doing this longer than anyone. If
something is legal, we would most likely be doing it. If your company is
doing something that we aren't, you might want to check with your legal
counsel.
Q: So if my "poker tour" is doing something illegal, am I
responsible?
A: What do you think?
United Bar Poker Tour, we are the best for a reason.
We look out for our clients. |
