Re: Check local laws to be sure
Noticed you are in IL. You may want to check local laws, especially if this event is going to be advertised.
Illinois is very strict about poker. A couple of "charity" games were busted earlier this year in Southern Illinois near St. Louis.
There was an article in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reviewing local laws. Free (no buy-in) poker games that offer any sort of prize to the winner (the kind that are hosted often at bars on weeknights) is illegal in Illinois.
You may be fine, but a little homework may save some big embarassment.
