AA_Hall Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Re: Punterslounge WSOP2009, Dusk Till Dawn, 12th Sept 09 In the latest issue of Poker Player there is a article about DTD maybe closing (issue50 P26) i know there has been a few rumours about this for a while but seems like this actually could happen:cry:cry. If this is the case will our WSOP still go ahead:unsure at a different venue have we thought about this cause we are all starting to book hotel rooms flight trains etc and people MAY lose money in canceling them at short notice. Me the Mrs and Bags have booked our rooms at the Prem Inn as you can cancell upto 24hrs before. hopefully this doesnt happen :hopeand we are able to play this at DTD as it is by far the best Cardroom in the country and would be a real shame if it did close down.:notworthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, VAT is not reclaimable on almost all of our running costs, including any capital expenditure spent on the building. Business Rates - these have literally gone through the roof and we are now paying the same rates as a 22,000sqft fully equipped casino. It has been indicated that this re-evaluation was prompted by another casino objecting to the level of rates that we were previously paying. Gaming Duty - the appropriately nicknamed "Poker Tax" is now payable on all tournament registration fees and cash game charges, unlike a full casino, poker is 90% of our income and this new tax is applied to all of our poker revenues - whether we make a profit or not. Despite these setbacks, it will still be "business as usual" at DTD; however, Nick and I will be considering the options as we move ahead. We also intend to consult our members and employees for their views at a future date. Thankfully we are in a good financial position, whereby there is no pressure to make any hasty decisions, but the reality is that we must address these significantly increased costs. Furthermore, we must also factor in the probability of more tax increases in the future, as the authorities continue to target the UK casino sector. Cheers, Rob Following on from some recent speculation, rumour and misquotes, I would like to make it absolutely crystal clear that there is no chance of us closing in the near future, or trading unlicensed to avoid paying higher taxes.
