Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions, answered.
What is the typical dress code?
Most venues enforce a 'smart casual' dress code. Higher-end clubs like The Ritz may require a jacket for gentlemen. Trendy spots like Manchester235 encourage a smart, stylish look. Always check the specific venue's policy before visiting.
Are these hotels located on-site?
Some hotels are directly connected to or house the casino (e.g., The Ritz), while others are premier partner hotels chosen for their proximity, quality, and complementary style (e.g., near Manchester235, Alea Glasgow).
Do I need to be a high-roller to visit?
Not at all. While some clubs are very exclusive, most featured locations like Grosvenor and Alea are welcoming to casual players. They offer a range of stakes for table games and slots to suit all budgets.
Is membership required to enter?
While most casinos in the UK operate a membership system, signing up is usually free and can be done on your first visit with a valid ID. Some exclusive clubs like The Ritz Club have a formal application process. We recommend checking their websites beforehand.
