SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES _  
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES __ NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES Organization Casino Players, Inc. was organized July 20, 2005 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company is a casino representative company offering comp rooms to rated players. The Company's revenues are a percentage of the amount of income the casino earns from the rated player. The casino tracks the play of the rated player to determine its gross income, and the Company then is paid its contractual percentage based on that income, realized at the time of play. Basis of Accounting We have prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, these financial statements give effect to all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Company. Although we believe that the disclosures included in our financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the 'SEC'). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full 2011 year. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates included in the preparation of the financial statements are related to asset lives and accruals. CASINO PLAYERS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2011 Income taxes We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, we consider tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which we operate, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the 'more likely than not' criteria of ASC 740. ASC 740-10 requires that we recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the 'more-likely-than-not' threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average common shares and all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Recent Accounting Pronouncements ASU 2011-05 - Presentation of comprehensive income ASU 2011-05 was the result of a joint project with the IASB and amends the guidance in ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, by eliminating the option to present components of other comprehensive income (OCI) in the statement of stockholders' equity. Instead, the new guidance now requires entities to present all nonowner changes in stockholders' equity either as a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or as two separate but consecutive statements. All entities that report OCI items will be impacted by the changes in this ASU. The components of OCI have not changed, nor has the guidance on when OCI items are reclassified to net income; however, the amendments require entities to present all reclassification adjustments from OCI to net income on the face of the statement of comprehensive income. The amendments to ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, included in ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, are effective for fiscal years and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011 (that is, the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012 for calendar-year entities) for public entities and for interim and annual periods thereafter. The amended guidance must be applied retrospectively and early adoption is permitted. CASINO PLAYERS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2011 ASU 2011-04 - Amendments to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs The amendments in ASU 2011-04 do not modify the requirements for when fair value measurements apply; rather, they generally represent clarifications on how to measure and disclose fair value under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, including the following revisions: * The concepts of highest and best use and valuation premise are relevant only for measuring the fair value of nonfinancial assets and do not apply to financial assets and liabilities. * An entity should measure the fair value of an equity-classified financial instrument from the perspective of the market participant that holds the instrument as an asset. * An entity that holds a group of financial assets and financial liabilities whose market risk (that is, interest rate risk, currency risk, or other price risk) and credit risk are managed on the basis of the entity's net risk exposure may apply an exception to the fair value requirements in ASC 820 if certain criteria are met. The exception allows such financial instruments to be measured on the basis of the reporting entity's net, rather than gross, exposure to those risks. * Premiums or discounts related to the unit of account are appropriate when measuring fair value of an asset or liability if market participants would incorporate them into the measurement (for example, a control premium). However, premiums or discounts related to size as a characteristic of the reporting entity's holding (that is, a 'blockage factor') should not be considered in a fair value measurement. The amendments to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, included in ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, are effective prospectively for public entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 (that is, the quarter ending March 31, 2012 for calendar-year entities). Early adoption is not permitted for public entities ASU 2011-03 - Reconsideration of effective control for repurchase agreements The amendments to ASC 860-10 included in ASU 2011-03, simplified the accounting for financial assets transferred under repurchase agreements (repos) and similar arrangements, by eliminating the transferor's ability criteria from the assessment of effective control over those assets as well as the related implementation guidance. Currently under ASC 860-10-40-24 a transferor must meet four criteria to maintain effective control of securities transferred in a repo and to therefore account for the transfer as a secured borrowing rather than a sale. One of these criteria states that the transferor must be able to either repurchase or redeem the transferred securities on substantially the agreed terms, even if the transferee is in default. This criterion is satisfied only if the transferor has cash or collateral sufficient to fund substantially the entire cost of purchasing replacement securities. The amendments in ASU 2011-03 remove this criterion and related implementation guidance from the Codification, thereby reducing the criteria that transferors must satisfy to qualify for secured borrowing accounting and, as a result, likely reducing the number of transfers accounted for as sales. The amendments to ASC 860-10, Transfers and Servicing, included in ASU 2011- 03, Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements, are effective for both public and nonpublic entities prospectively for new transfers and existing transactions modified as of the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011 (that is, the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012 for calendar-year entities). Early adoption is not permitted. ASU 2011-02 - FASB amends creditor troubled debt restructuring guidance This bulletin discusses ASU 2011-02, which was issued by the FASB to provide creditors with additional guidance in evaluating whether a restructuring of debt is a troubled debt restructuring. The new guidance does not amend the guidance for debtors. It is generally effective for public entities in the quarter ended September 30, 2011. ASU 2011-01 - Troubled debt restructuring disclosures for public-entity creditors deferred The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-01, Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20, which temporarily defers the date when public-entity creditors are required to provide the new disclosures for troubled debt restructurings in ASU 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. The deferred effective date will coincide with the effective date for the clarified guidance about what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, which the Board is currently deliberating. The clarified guidance is expected to apply for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2011. When providing the new disclosures under ASU 2010-20, public entities would be required to retrospectively apply the clarified guidance on what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring to restructurings occurring on or after the beginning of the year in which the proposed clarified guidance is adopted.

Going concern contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business over a reasonable period of time. The company has incurred an operating loss of approximately $1,225,015 since inception. The future of the company is dependent on its ability to obtain funding from its anticipated funding of its S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although the company plans to pursue its equity funding, there can be no assurance that the company will be able raise sufficient working capital to maintain its operations.
