Poker should stay controlled and social.

1. 18+ only

Strategy & Club is intended for guests who are 18 years of age or older. Gambling-related content, poker events, and venue participation are not intended for minors. Guests may be asked to confirm age before accessing gambling-related areas or activities.

2. Our responsible play position

Poker should be treated as entertainment, not as a source of income or a way to solve financial pressure. We encourage guests to play within personal limits, take breaks, avoid chasing losses, and keep the experience social, controlled, and respectful.

3. Practical limits

Before joining a poker event or casino-inspired activity, guests should decide what amount of time and money they are comfortable spending. These limits should be set before play begins and should not be increased because of emotion, pressure, or losses.

• Set a budget before playing.
• Set a time limit for the visit.
• Take breaks during longer sessions.
• Do not gamble with money needed for bills, rent, food, or family needs.
• Do not play while impaired, distressed, angry, or under pressure.

4. Warning signs

Gambling may be becoming harmful if it starts affecting finances, relationships, work, sleep, mood, or personal responsibilities. Warning signs can include hiding gambling activity, borrowing money to play, chasing losses, feeling unable to stop, or becoming upset when not gambling.

5. Taking a break

If gambling no longer feels controlled, the safest choice is to pause. Guests may leave the table, step away from the room, speak with staff, contact someone they trust, or seek support from local health, counselling, or gambling support services in Canada.

6. Staff and venue expectations

Strategy & Club expects guests to follow house rules, respect staff, and treat other players with courtesy. We may refuse service, ask a guest to pause, or take other reasonable steps if behaviour creates concern for safety, fairness, or responsible play.

7. No guaranteed outcome

Poker involves risk. No information on this site, no event structure, and no venue experience guarantees a result, win, return, prize, or advantage. Guests are responsible for their own decisions and should only participate if they understand the risks.

8. Need help?

If gambling feels difficult to control, consider taking a break and seeking support. You can also contact Strategy & Club with questions about our responsible gambling standards, age policy, or venue expectations.
