WPA's Scales and Craigie talk the treatment of women in poker rooms; The Gambling Files RTFM 128

RTFM 128

Jon and Fintan talk a little bit in the intro. Not too much, though [0:00 - 4:21], but they do shoehorn in mentions of podcast sponsors BWise Media and Clarion Gaming, of course.

Then it's Jon flying solo in the company of the excellent Rebbecca Scales and KerryJane Craigie. Rebbecca has been a part of the Women's Poker Association's growth for some time, while Kerry Jane has recently been voted on to the organisation's board, while also serbving as Director of Poker Operations at London's much-loved Hippodrome Casino. They discuss issues with getting womeon in the door for poker, and then getting them to return a second time and beyond; what dirves female players away from poker rooms? And what can be done about it? We also talk about the WPA's Raise It Up campaign, so poker rooms around the world can establish a baseline for players to feel protected and for standards to be maintained [4:22 - 42:01].
