On this other thread it was stated "Gambling is gambling no matter how much the stakes are. A penny ante game, which you allow, is gambling."

And as I once told my son "if you ask permission the responsible authority may be required to say no".

If they play in their own homes, I don't think the HOA has any responsibility on this even if it's illegal. If they are gambling in an association clubhouse, poolhouse, etc., then you should be concerned and you should check with county or city authorities on this.

Recently in our area (not our HOA), the county police "busted" a poker game for money in a private home. It made the news big time.

Check the Fl. Statue 849. It has the law for gambling and Bingo in HOA's.
