Raise It Up
Raise the RESPECT + FUN = Growth in Poker
YOU CAN BE PART OF THE MOVEMENT TO IMPROVE OUR POKER WORLD
The “Raise It Up” Movement is a global campaign geared towards elevating the player & staff experience in every poker room. This creates a better environment for every room, the staff, and all players. An unpleasant environment is something which keeps women and many others, from the game.
MISSION
The mission of Raise it Up is very simple – To Elevate the Game of Poker
We Need Your Help
Personally commit to RAISE the RESPECT level & foster the FUN of poker so we can GROW the game. With every player and industry person making this commitment, we can effectively create change.
You Count
A unified voice can be heard globally. Together, we not only improve playing conditions, but we welcome new players to the game.
Use the hashtag #RaiseItUp in all your social media posts and be sure to share the RIU movement with your friends and local poker rooms too. In addition every October 1st is Annual Raise it Up Day, that’s when the poker community gets the chance to jointly show their commitment to Raise It Up!
