Donation Structure
Oregon state law prevents poker rooms from collecting rake. Instead, Action's Card House operates utilizing a members-only donation system. Players are required to register for a free membership prior to playing any games or tournaments.

During cash game play, 10% of each pot up to a maximum $5 will be separated from the pot and converted into special plastic chips. At the end of the hand, the plastic chips will be awarded to the winning player alongside the pot. The player has the option of donating the separated plastic chips back to the house. If a player chooses to keep the plastic chips, they can be cashed out like any other $1 chips at the cage. The standard practice is to donate the plastic chips at the end of each hand.

Environment
The playing environment at Action's Card House is quite comfortable and friendly. The poker room is attached to Action's Sports Bar next door and offers players a variety of drinks. Snacks, water, and coffee are always free and available for players. There are numerous TVs on the walls of the poker room to enjoy sports.
