In many jurisdictions, an unlicensed poker game may still be legal if the game is played in a residence, the 🤶 host does not profit, and/or the buy-in fees do not exceed a certain threshold. Even if the game itself is 🤶 illegal, in some jurisdictions it is not illegal to just play such a game. In such cases, only the organizers 🤶 of such games are civilly and/or criminally responsible. The zeal from local law enforcement agencies also varies by location. Often, 🤶 players and hosts of underground poker games worry more with being targeted for armed robbery than being targeted with legal 🤶 action.

An underground poker room usually generates revenue by collecting rake or other house fees while not being a licensed gaming 🤶 operator. Organized crime groups, such as the American Mafia, often host, provide protection for, or are otherwise involved in high-stakes 🤶 underground poker games. Underground poker venues can also generate revenue by selling food and beverages or by offering side games 🤶 such as blackjack or craps.

Canada [ edit ]

Under the Criminal Code, any game of poker that is not specifically licensed 🤶 by the relevant provincial or territorial gaming regulator is covered by either Section 201 or Section 204 of the Code. 🤶 Section 201(1) makes it an indictable offence for to "(keep) a common gaming house or common betting house" with a 🤶 maximum penalty of two years' imprisonment, while Section 201(2) makes it a summary offence to be "found, without lawful excuse, 🤶 in a common gaming house or common betting house" with a maximum penalty of six months' imprisonment and/or aR$5,000 fine.[1] 🤶 On the other hand, Section 204(1)(b) provides that "a private bet between individuals not engaged in any way in the 🤶 business of betting" is exempt from the provisions of Section 201, and thus is not unlawful.[2] This has been consistently 🤶 interpreted to mean that a poker game taking place in a dwelling house is legal in Canada, so long as 🤶 the host is not taking "rake" or otherwise directly profiting from hosting the game. Whether a poker game played on 🤶 a similar "not for profit" basis somewhere other than a dwelling house (for example, in the warehouse of a small 🤶 business) also enjoys the exemption of Section 204(1)(b) is disputed.

The laws governing gaming in Canada were written prior to the 🤶 invention of internet gaming. Notably, Section 201(2) makes no distinction with regards to whether individuals present in an illegal poker 🤶 room are actually playing poker, while on the other hand there has never been (as of 2013) a prosecution in 🤶 Canada simply for participating in Internet gaming not licensed in Canada.
