Last week, the Lodge Card Club, a poker club located in Texas, was raided by the police in a procedure that generated many doubts and uncertainties within the American player community. Doug Polk 
So far, the motive and objective of the investigations are still unknown. Hundreds of people have been affected by the closure of the place. Not only players, but employees and partners. The community remains waiting for a definitive answer and, meanwhile, The Lodge authorities are doing their best to maintain calm among the members of their community.
The statement
We know that our loyal staff, members, and followers have been anxiously waiting for some news regarding the recent events that led to the closure of the club. We recognize that our closure has had a major impact on many of you. More than 200 members of our staff depend on The Lodge for their livelihood, and many other members have funds in chips and pending tournament payments. We understand the concern and frustration and want you to know that we are not taking it lightly.
As much as we would like to provide a detailed update, we cannot do so now because, despite the efforts made by our legal team to obtain additional information from the authorities, we have very little information available.
What we do know is that no charges have been filed and we remain committed to cooperating fully so that all concerns can be addressed. At the same time, we can confirm that all club assets and bank accounts have been frozen. Additionally, we have been told not to open until the investigation concludes.

The Lodge has always taken the obligation to cooperate legally very seriously. The team leadership is committed to ensuring that The Lodge operates transparently, responsibly, and in good faith with respect to Texas law, maintaining firm security measures and improving operations.
Unfortunately, we do not know how long this process will take or when we will be able to open again. Obviously, we believe that the longer our doors remain closed, the stronger the impact will be, not only on the business but on the hundreds of staff members, sponsors, suppliers, and community members who count on The Lodge every day.
Your continued support for The Lodge – its traditions, its staff, and its community – means a lot to us. We are upset and frustrated by all the inconveniences this has caused and remain hopeful that we can work constructively with the authorities so that we can reopen our doors as soon as possible. All we can do at this time is promise that we will share more information as soon as we can.
In the meantime, if The Lodge means something to you, whether it is a place for gaming, work, or friendship, we encourage you to share your support in the comments. Hearing from our community means more to our staff and leaders than we can express in words.
