Welcome to our Website. Our purpose at the Official Poker Players Association is to make the wonderful game of poker as enjoyable an experience as possible by asking each operator of either tournament or cash games to be transparent in their plans to run either of the above. Failure to do so would suggest that the players best interests are not being looked after. The Official Poker Players Association will only recommend tournaments that are transparent with regards to rules, blind structures and rake. Clearly once you have this info it will be up to you to choose to play or not. We will have a panel of responsible officers including Mr Neville Eber If you would like to be a part of this or recommend anyone please do so. Click here to contact us |
