Poker parties are a great new source of income for local charities. The players buy chips and play against each other, and the hosting charity has no investment in the games, as they are simply taking 10% of the pot up to a five-dollar ($5.00) maximum. If a pot is $30 the charity will take $3.00 for the house; if the pot is $80 the charity will take the maximum of $5.00 for the house.

Poker has enjoyed a massive surge in popularity in the last few years thanks to the growth of media attention, such as the World Series of Poker on ESPN and the Travel Channel's coverage of the World Poker Tour, as well as NBC and other major networks' coverage.
Charity poker has the advantage over house-backed games such as blackjack, craps or roulette because the players are competing against each other rather than the house, with a small percentage taken from each pot. This means the house cannot lose.
