Raise UK Legal Limit of Stakes For Poker In Pubs To £10 & £20 In Members Clubs

Petition Details

The gambling act 2005 states:
Low stakes poker is permitted in pubs, with stakes kept to a maximum of £5 per player, with a £100 max pot per premises per day.
Low stakes poker in social clubs, with the correct permit, allows a maximum of £10 per player £250 total pot per premises per day

Additional Information

We're petitioning to change this law to the following:
Low stakes poker to be permitted in pubs with stakes kept to: £10 Maximum per player with no maximum pot, in social clubs: £20 maximum per player no maximum pot (modify the gaming permit licence)
stake limits should now be raised as inflation no longer reflects the outdated limits set in the gambling act 2005 & an unrestricted maximum pot size
We believe that this change to the law would also benefit all UK pubs who are struggling to survive
