Hi, I just found this website for the first time so if this is in the wrong section or something please feel free to move it.
I am just now beginning to take my business idea to the development stage. In a nut shell I will offer a service in which I go to somebody's house and set up a poker game for them. I will not offer a cash prize, but I will offer a trophy for the winner. I will tell them they are free to arrange cash prizes amongst themselves but this will be nothing to do with me. I will however require payment from them for the service I am providing.
I plan to do this in the customers' homes and also in neutral venues, eg pubs, clubs etc.
Will I myself need a license? Do I not need one at all? Does the pub need one, or are private games allowed?
I have researched the subject but found contradictive answers so I am looking for some clarity.
Thanks in advance to anybody who can shed some light on this.
Thanks
