According to The Copenhagen Post, the Conservative Party in Denmark is proposing to make private poker tournaments legal again, after the Supreme Court previously made them illegal, ruling that poker is more chance than skill.

The new proposal seeks to make such live games legal as long as the maximum entrance fee is 300 kroner.

Tom Behnke, the party’s political affairs spokesperson, said, “You should be allowed to have a fun evening with friends at a poker tournament without feeling like a criminal."

Online poker was granted permission to exist in Denmark in April, but only if such organisations acquired a state gaming license.
