We've only recently come across a special service, which we wish to share with our readers. Dial a Dealer brings the Internet and poker together in a new way.
Dial a Dealer is a pretty unique service. The idea is to provide players with access to professional freelance card dealers and croupiers, almost anywhere, for any event.



Over the last few years, we've seen a growing trend of fun casino nights as a concept for parties, charity fund raisers and corporate events. Also, with poker's rising popularity, more and more people are hosting private tournaments in their own homes.

Dial a Dealer services this need by providing top quality dealers at an instant. Their scope of operations currently covers most of the UK, but their "country" search engine implies that they'll eventually be expanding beyond those borders.

Here's how it works. Suppose that you are throwing a major fund raising casino event, or a corporate party - perhaps and end of year bash. You've already made the decision that this is going to be a casino-themed party. You've booked the venue, decorated it appropriately, hired in the caterers, made sure there's enough space and enough tables... but now you need dealers to run the games on the night.

You simply log on to the Dial a Dealer website, enter the area you're in, and you'll be presented with a list of the best dealers available for that part of the country.

You can also see a photo of the dealer, in case appearance matters to you, a short bio and a full breakdown of that dealer's skills, including what games they're competent to deal, and a list of any notable tournaments they've worked in, giving you a good idea of their credibility.

The top reasons why people use Dial a Dealer are:

It's convenient
There really isn't a simpler way of finding top quality dealers for your poker night or corporate casino-themed event. It's simpler to browse through the site than search the Yellow Pages for party suppliers.

It's cost effective
No agencies in the middle. Hourly rates are displayed in dealers' profiles, so it's simple to find someone that suits your budget. (You can even sort search results by hourly rate.)

You get what you want
Browse through profiles of dealers yourself and pick the one you like. Read the profiles and contact the dealers, without having to trust the say so of an agent.
