| What's the Runner Runner Difference? |
With every tournament, it's not enough to just have the tools, like a blinds timer. You need to be able to properly manager a game and not just increase the bets. We get all the tables setup, register your players, provide instructions and rules, change chips as necessary - and have a sure fire system that is both condusive to rebuys and allows your players to enjoy the feel of real live poker. You can just sit down to play at your own event and leave the worry to us. All this for a few dollars per player!

| How much money can be made for my charity? |
It is not possible to accurately predict what sort of financial outcome there may be after your poker event. However, we have hosted enough events to be able to determine your outcome based on your goals or needs.
For example, if you intend to make $2000 for your charity, then a reasonable breakdown would look something like this:
| Earnings | x 50 Players | Expenses | Total for Charity |
Buyin $60
Rebuy $20
Addon $20 | $3000
$1000
$1000 | Payouts $2000 (estimate)
Other $1000 (estimate services/facilities) | $2000 |
This model is a basic setup, which would apply to most situations. However, if you are able to get 100 players and charge a $100 buyin, then your charitable contributions can be greatly increased.

| How do I setup a Poker League? |
A poker league requires 3 components: Players, a Venue, and a System. The venue and Players are your first requisites in making a League happen. Runner Runner can provide you with a system on how to run the league effectively, or run the league for you using our own proven system.
|
| Is it illegal to have a Poker League or Poker Tournament? |
Put simply, no. A League is a private event that is usually run out of your home, played with friends and family. A Poker Tournament can be somewhat more scrutinized. However, they happen all the time, and people like us can assist you in by partnering with a Charity to legitimize your event.
