3. Eligibility & Age Restrictions

Showdown Supperclub welcomes a broad range of guests while maintaining clear eligibility and age‑related conditions in line with Australian law.

  • General dining: Guests under the age of 18 are welcome in our restaurant areas but must be accompanied and supervised by a parent or legal guardian at all times.
  • Licensed areas: Where applicable, minors may be restricted from certain licensed or lounge spaces in accordance with relevant state or territory liquor regulations. Venue staff may direct minors and accompanying adults to suitable areas.
  • Offline poker nights: Participation in our offline poker evenings is strictly limited to guests who are 18 years of age or older. Proof of age (such as a valid Australian driver licence, passport, or other acceptable government‑issued identification) may be required prior to entry, registration, or continued participation.
  • Refusal of entry: We reserve the right to refuse entry, re‑entry, or continued attendance to any person who cannot produce satisfactory proof of age when requested, or who we reasonably believe may be under 18.

By registering for or attending our poker nights, you warrant that you are at least 18 years old and legally permitted to participate in such activities in the relevant Australian jurisdiction.

4. Responsible Play & Conduct

Our poker nights are curated as relaxed, social entertainment experiences within the atmosphere of a premium Australian restaurant. They are not gambling services and are not intended to promote financial gain, high‑risk behaviour, or excessive play.

  • No online gambling or remote wagering: The website and venue do not provide online poker, online gambling, betting accounts, remote wagering, or any functionality for deposits or withdrawals. You must not use our website, venue, or wifi to facilitate unlawful or unauthorised gambling activities.
  • No financial incentives: Any poker‑related promotions, leaderboards, or recognition we may offer from time to time are intended solely for entertainment and hospitality purposes. They must not be treated as financial advice, a promise of winnings, or an incentive to gamble.
  • Responsible‑play expectations: Guests are expected to participate in poker nights for fun, social connection, and enjoyment of the hospitality experience. You should set your own limits, participate only when you feel comfortable, and take breaks as needed.
  • Venue discretion: Our hosts and staff may pause, modify, or terminate a poker session, or refuse participation to any person whose behaviour appears unsafe, disruptive, intoxicated, or inconsistent with responsible‑play expectations.
  • Support and assistance: If you are concerned about your relationship with gambling‑style activities, we encourage you to seek support through recognised Australian services such as state or territory‑based gambling help lines or counselling organisations.

By attending a poker night, you acknowledge that you are responsible for your own choices and participation, and that we do not guarantee outcomes, winnings, or financial return of any kind.
