Event will support Prostate Cancer U.K.

Pokerstars has announced that it is to repeat its charity for cancer Lads Night In again to support the men's health charity, Prostate Cancer U.K.
The annual one-night poker event bringing friends together at home to help fight prostate cancer, is scheduled for Friday, 21 October.
Lads Night In is calling on men and women of all ages to organise an evening in, play cards, and have a laugh while taking the opportunity to raise money and awareness for a very worthy cause.
Following on from the success of last year's at-home events and funds raised, where over 5,400 people took part and GBP 114,000 was donated, Pokerstars and Prostate Cancer UK are asking for poker fans to spread the word, sign up and join in.
A special Lads Night In pack, including a deck of cards, a dealer button and the rules of poker for anyone unfamiliar of them, will be sent to those who register. To sign up and run a Lads Night In people can visit the Prostate Cancer U.K. website.
Sue Hammett, head of corporate giving at Rational Group said: "PokerStars are delighted to once again be partnering with Prostate Cancer U.K. for the second annual Lads Night In. One man dies every hour in the U.K. from this deadly disease and PokerStars want to help change that. So please, put the date in your diary, get your friends round and get ready to hold a Lads Night In to remember."
Funds raised across the country will go towards ground-breaking research that could lead to earlier diagnosis and better treatments, as well as much-needed support services.

Brian Cullingworth

Infopowa news was a staple of Casinomeister’s news from 2000 until 2019. Brian Cullingworth was the main writer, contributor, and was one of the most knowledgeable persons I have ever known involved in the online casino industry.

We first met in January 2001 at the ICE in London where I observed him going booth to booth interviewing online casino, software, and licensing jurisdiction representatives. Brian was also heavily involved with our forum as “Jetset“, he was involved as an informal consultant to eCOGRA, the OPA, and was a player advocate who assisted countless aggrieved players with his connections to industry folks. He also published “Casino Cautions” via Infopowa news for quite a number of years. These can be found in our news archives.

His passing in February 2019 was a dark day for us. He will be forever missed.
