2.OverviewofServices

Global Poker Staff Ltd provides a specialized digital platform designed to facilitate engagement and potential contractual relationships between freelance poker staff (hereinafter, “freelancers”) and companies organizing poker events, casino operations, and other related hospitality and gaming venues (hereinafter, “event organizers”). Our platform enables event organizers to post staffing requests while allowing freelancers to register, apply for placements, and secure assignments aligned with their expertise.

In addition to acting as a facilitator of connections, Global Poker Staff Ltd actively negotiates conditions of work and salary on behalf of freelancers, ensuring fair and mutually agreed- upon terms that reflect industry standards and specific event requirements. Notwithstanding this involvement, Global Poker Staff Ltd operates as an intermediary only and does not constitute an employment agency nor establish an employer-employee or contractor-principal relationship with freelancers or event organizers. Under this limited role, Global Poker Staff Ltd shall not be deemed an agent, employer, or joint venture partner of freelancers or event organizers utilizing the platform.

While Global Poker Staff Ltd assists in negotiating salary terms and work conditions, any issues arising from non-payment, late payment, or other compensation disputes are outside our scope of responsibility. Freelancers and event organizers must resolve payment-related issues independently, and Global Poker Staff Ltd disclaims any liability or obligation to mediate, enforce, or intervene in such matters.

The terms of engagement, including scope of work, duties, payment, and other contractual elements are negotiated directly by Global Poker Staff Ltd with freelancers and event organizers prior to each assignment.
