Information We Collect

Personal Details

When you reserve a poker table, register for a tournament, or book a private event, we collect your full name, date of birth, contact details, and proof of age.

  • Date of birth is required to verify that you are at least 21 years old, in line with our venue policy.

For real-money poker games and tournament buy-ins, we record transaction amounts, table numbers, and session times to manage play and comply with legal obligations.

  • This includes buy-in amounts, cash game stakes, and tournament entry fees.
  • We do not store full payment card details; payment processing is handled by a third-party provider.

Payment processing is outsourced to a PCI-DSS compliant provider.

CCTV and Venue Security

For the safety of players and staff, our Surry Hills poker room and card lounge are monitored by closed-circuit television. Footage is recorded and stored securely.

  • CCTV is used to prevent fraud, theft, and cheating at poker tables.
  • Footage is retained for a limited period and only accessed by authorised personnel.

CCTV operates in all gaming and dining areas.
