Interesting if true. Going to be some disappointed folks when they show up. Hope the bar gives them an explanation.

Wondering if the befitting charities of last weeks game received their funds and if the accounting is up...

He responded pretty quickly, shoot him a message to confirm. You don't have to give your phone number on the contact form if you don't want to.

990 tax returns, who's received 'em after 60 days wait/??

Jbrochu · 02-03-2012, 09:36 PM

I haven't received them, and I'm pretty sure its been at least 60 days now. I hope I filled out the forms properly.

I also emailed the reporter who filed for them months before I did to see if she received anything, but she never got back to me.

**Professionalpoker** · 02-04-2012, 01:07 AM

Might confirm that they were never filed.

LastLife · 02-04-2012, 01:32 AM

I sent an email to the Holiday Inn in Richmond where the next event will be held. I will post response if and when I receive anything.

Berlino · 02-04-2012, 06:30 AM

Paypal never responded. I am disappointed that they will not process online gaming transactions, but will do business with a con man.

Are there any other kind?

We apologize for this change.

January 27-29th we will have 4 tournaments over 3 days with the Main Event giving away two seats to the 2012 WSOP and more as well as plenty of WSOP Circuit event seats to winners throughout the weekend. The Main Event is only $70 online and the entire weekend is only $150 for all 3 tournaments. We will also be doing 3 table sit and go's at 10pm Friday and Saturday night and another at 3pm on Saturday evening for a chance to win a $100 Visa Gift Card.

In the past, United Cancer Alliance, our own 501c3 has helped hundreds of people with cancer by sending them grants to help with groceries, electric, gas, and other everyday necessities that they would not otherwise be able to afford due to this terrible disease. Due to the 2+2er's we are changing our platform and will send all money to other local charities in each city that we play in and we will show the total $$ amount brought in and distributed to the penny after each event on our website. The Charity Poker Tour has always been willing to show complete transparency and wants to show all players and the local community that we can and do make a difference in the lives of others through poker, a game that we all love!!

During Sunday's event we will be presenting money to Cindy's Hope Chest, a local Charlotte 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to fighting breast cancer and proceeds will also go to the Sandbox, another local 501c3 organization that helps with cancer. Last year the Sandbox helped hundreds of teens in the area with cancer have a prom that they otherwise would not have been able to participate in.

We truly appreciate each of your support and promise that 2012 will be a great year for the Charity Poker Tour and we will continue to do all we can to bring you top pros, great action, and the possibilities to win big at the WSOP, all while helping great organizations do great things for those that need it the most!

Like all of our events in the past, this one is sure to be big, so sign up now, space is limited!!
Sign up now at www.ucarecharitypokertour.com and we will see you at the felt and hopefully at the WSOP!!

P.S. - The following hotels are near the area and offer the following room rates.
Comfort Inn, 9701 E. Independence Blvd, Matthews NC - $69.00
Sleep Inn, 9900 Matthews Park Drive, Matthews NC - $69.00
Country Inn and Suites, 2001 Mt. Harmony Chruch Rd, Matthews NC - $75.00"

So I emailed the two benefiting charities to see if Jack delivered any funds. He is running 50%. From whatsinyoursandbox.org

Yes someone brought us money on Tues saying it was from that weekend.

HENLEYS · 02-06-2012, 05:33 PM

I suppose it's not feasible to find out how much was raised and how much of that was donated?

(By donated I mean by UCARE to Cindy. Not Jack to the pit games)

For the event at Richmond on the 23rd-26th:

Quote:

Hello,

Thank you for the information.

I have read your forum and done some research and at this time we will continue to have the event. UCARE has purchased an area in the hotel to have the event, has shown legal documentation that it is a legitimate charitable organization, and has signed the necessary contracts for this date. We have all types of organizations, family members, associations, churches, and committees using our facilities.

We thank you for your concern. I would suggest taking your concerns to government officials if you feel that this is a illegitimate company.

Thank you,

Robert Peters
General Manager

Also, it seems that on UCARE's website, the future events have been taken down. Most likely it is so we can't contact the places that they are being held. http://www.ucarecharitypokertour.com/#!

The only one I see now is the one from the above email. Hopefully someone saved the list.

10% to "charity"

Solid

HENLEYS · 02-06-2012, 06:34 PM

Jack Walls is tournament director?

Also, it's quite funny how that statement seems as though it's worded with 2p2 in mind.
