These Terms of Service govern your use of the CISO.POKER website (ciso.poker) and participation in CISO.POKER events. By using this site or applying for an event, you agree to these terms. CISO.POKER is operated by CyberAdX Network LLC ("we", "us", "our").
CISO.POKER produces invite-only poker tournament events for security executives and cybersecurity professionals. Events are social and hospitality in nature.
CISO.POKER events are not gambling. No monetary buy-in, entry fee, or consideration of any kind is required to attend or compete. Participants do not wager their own money. All prizes are sponsor-donated promotional items distributed as part of a hospitality giveaway program. CISO.POKER events are structured as free-to-attend professional hospitality events and are intended to comply with applicable law and standard corporate attendance and gift policies.
If your employer requires pre-approval for event attendance or prize receipt, you are responsible for obtaining that approval. We are happy to provide a letter describing the event format for corporate compliance purposes — contact events@ciso.poker.
Attendance at any CISO.POKER event is a privilege, not a right. We reserve the right to decline, revoke, or modify any application or invitation at our sole discretion.
Submitting an application does not guarantee a seat. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis against eligibility criteria including title, company, and security program maturity. We reserve the right to decline any application without providing a reason.
By submitting an application, you represent that the information provided is accurate. Misrepresentation of your identity, title, or affiliation may result in removal from the event and disqualification from future events.
All participants are expected to conduct themselves professionally. CISO.POKER events are off-the-record environments. By attending, you agree to:
We reserve the right to remove any attendee from an event for conduct that violates these standards, without refund of any kind (no buy-in means no refund is applicable).
CISO.POKER events may be professionally filmed. By attending, you acknowledge that ambient event footage may be captured for promotional and recap purposes. No attendee will be identified by name, title, or company affiliation in any footage without their explicit written consent. Face blurring is available on request.
Final table live streaming, where applicable, is strictly opt-in. Participants who reach the final table may decline to be on stream without penalty.
Attendees may not distribute, publish, or commercially exploit footage, photographs, or recordings of other attendees taken at the event without consent.
No purchase, payment, or buy-in is required to participate in any CISO.POKER event or to be eligible for prizes. All prizes and awards at CISO.POKER events constitute sponsored promotional giveaway items. They are donated by event sponsors as part of a hospitality and promotional program and do not represent gambling winnings, wagering proceeds, or prizes from a game of chance for consideration under applicable federal or state law.
CISO.POKER events are designed to be compliant with corporate attendance and gift policies. The tournament format is a structured social activity — participants do not wager money, contribute to a prize pool, or receive prizes in exchange for any form of payment or consideration. Prizes are sponsor-donated items distributed as part of the event's promotional program.
Mystery bounties are sealed promotional items donated by event sponsors and distributed upon player elimination. The contents of bounty envelopes are determined by sponsors prior to the event. Mystery bounty items are promotional giveaways and do not constitute gambling prizes. No substitution, cash equivalent, or alternative is guaranteed unless explicitly stated by the issuing sponsor.
Prize values listed in event materials are estimates based on sponsor-provided retail pricing. Actual value may vary. Prize recipients are solely responsible for determining and satisfying any tax obligations arising from receipt of promotional items, in accordance with applicable law and their own corporate policies.
We make no guarantee as to the specific prizes available at any event. Prize availability is subject to sponsor participation and may change without notice.
Sponsorship inquiries submitted through this site do not constitute a binding agreement. All sponsorship arrangements require a separate written agreement signed by authorized representatives of both parties. Submission of a sponsorship inquiry form creates no obligation on either party.
All content on this site — including text, design, graphics, logos, and event branding — is the property of CyberAdX Network LLC or its licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property law. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from any content on this site without prior written permission.
This site and its content are provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. We make no representations that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components. Event details including dates, venues, and formats are subject to change.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, CyberAdX Network LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of this site or participation in any CISO.POKER event, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of profits, or personal injury. Our total liability for any claim arising from these terms shall not exceed $100 USD.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless CyberAdX Network LLC, its affiliates, officers, and employees from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the site, your participation in an event, or your violation of these terms.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising under these terms shall be resolved in the courts of Harris County, Texas.
We may update these terms at any time. Material changes will be reflected in an updated effective date above. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
