Country rules
Minimum age, ID at the door, tax on winnings and the official regulator for live poker in each country.
National rules set the minimum for every casino in a country; each room can add its own house rules, which you'll find on the room's card once we have confirmed them. Rules and tax treatment change and can depend on your residence — check with the regulator or venue before travelling. Last reviewed 4 Nov 2026.
