How to use these terms

This is a venue and website terms document. It explains the practical conditions that may apply to restaurant reservations, private dining, private poker, poker nights, Texas Hold’em tournaments and attendance at Slate & Sovereign. Our poker experiences are offline: Texas Hold’em is face-to-face around real poker tables in the dedicated card room, not an online poker service.

04 / Website information

Website information and availability

Website content is provided to help visitors understand Slate & Sovereign and may change. Information about sessions, seating, menus, events or venue experiences should be read alongside the information confirmed for your booking or visit, where applicable.

We do not ask visitors to treat website material as confirmation of a particular date, format, table, menu, event or availability. Please rely on the details communicated for the relevant arrangement.

Sessions and card-room formats may change.
Seating is subject to the relevant visit or booking arrangement.
Menus and events may be updated for the venue experience.

05 / Card room terms

Face-to-face card room participation

Slate & Sovereign’s card room is an in-person environment. Offline poker, poker nights, poker tournaments and Texas Hold’em tournaments take place face-to-face around real poker tables in the dedicated card room, subject to the venue instructions and session format communicated for the relevant activity. A buy-in may apply where it forms part of a communicated participation format. Any participation remains a physical venue experience; Slate & Sovereign is not presented as an online poker platform.

Table directions and respectful play

Players are expected to follow reasonable session, seating, table and venue directions as communicated at the venue. Where applicable, directions may relate to joining a session, using a seat, handling physical cards, poker chips, dealer buttons or other equipment, and respecting the shared poker-table environment. Conduct that is inconsistent with reasonable instructions may affect continued participation or attendance where appropriate and communicated by the venue.

Private formats

Private and tournament formats

High roller lounge experiences, private poker, poker tournaments and Texas Hold’em tournaments remain offline, face-to-face experiences at the venue. Booking, capacity and session-format requirements may apply where communicated by Slate & Sovereign. The applicable format is set by the information confirmed for the session or occasion; no private access, availability, exclusivity or schedule is promised by these general terms.

06 / Dining

Restaurant reservations

Slate & Sovereign provides restaurant dining and cocktails. Table reservations are subject to availability and the details confirmed for a guest’s visit. Where booking information is requested, guests should provide accurate details so that the venue can consider the proposed dining arrangement. A reservation should not be treated as guaranteed unless it is confirmed by the venue, and any communicated conditions for the visit may apply.

Private dining arrangements

Private dining may be planned for private groups, corporate hosts and social event hosts, subject to availability and the arrangements confirmed for the occasion. Proposed attendance, seating and dining arrangements may be relevant when an event is being considered or confirmed.

Where an event confirmation is issued, it should be read with these terms. The confirmation governs the details relevant to that particular gathering rather than creating a general promise about rooms, menus, capacity or availability.

Shared venue environment

Slate & Sovereign combines dining, cocktails and a dedicated card room. Restaurant service and access to venue areas depend on a respectful shared environment, including appropriate consideration for other guests and the intended use of each space.

Follow reasonable venue directions.
Respect other guests and their experience.
Use dining and card-room areas as intended.

07 / Private occasions

Planning a private occasion

Private poker, high roller lounge experiences, private dining and corporate or social events are arranged according to availability and the details confirmed for the particular event. Private poker is offline and face-to-face around physical poker tables. Attendance, seating, dining, private rooms and session formats may be documented where applicable, but these general terms do not promise a particular room, package, schedule or exclusive use.

Host and attendee information

Event hosts should provide accurate planning information and communicate applicable venue instructions to attendees, subject to the confirmed arrangement. This helps the venue understand the occasion without assuming fixed inclusions or terms that have not been confirmed.

Attendance
Seating
Dining
Room use or session format

Guests attending a private occasion should also follow reasonable instructions that apply to the confirmed event and to the shared venue environment.

Event-specific arrangements

Where issued, an event confirmation records the arrangements relevant to that event and should be read with these general terms. Where applicable, it may address the attendance, seating, dining, private-room or session-format details communicated for the occasion.

Guest conduct at the venue

Guests are expected to help maintain a respectful shared environment across restaurant dining, the dedicated card room and physical poker-table spaces.

Respectful shared use

Please treat other visitors, staff, spaces, furniture and physical poker tables with respect, and follow reasonable venue directions. These broad expectations support the safe and intended use of the restaurant, card room and other venue areas without replacing any directions communicated for a particular visit, booking or session.

Respect the people and spaces sharing the venue.
Use furniture, tables and venue areas with care.
Follow reasonable instructions communicated for the visit.

Continued attendance and participation

Activity that disrupts the venue, other guests, dining service, poker nights or face-to-face Texas Hold’em may affect continued attendance or participation, subject to venue directions. This may include disruption, unsafe use of the space or failure to follow reasonable instructions. Where appropriate and communicated by the venue, a guest may be asked to leave or cease participation.

Use of this website

When using the Slate & Sovereign website, please do so lawfully and in a way that does not interfere with its operation or misuse its content. The website is intended to support visitors in learning about the venue and its experiences.

Please do not use the website in a manner that disrupts other users or the service. These website-use expectations are separate from the onsite conduct and card-room participation terms above.
